Hush Puppies?

[Wheres Scotty]

Does anyone have any good recipes for hush puppies? My roommate and I have been searching long and hard but have found nothing. Can yall help?

Ingredients:
2 cups yellow corn meal
1 cup plain flour (flour is what gave it the
lighter taste and you can experiment with the
amount you use if you want)
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk (you can also use plain milk in
a pinch, but nothing compares to buttermilk)
3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt. I use Lowreys but just
about any brand will work as you are just looking
for something to spice things up a little
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper blend (again, the idea
is to spice things up a little).
1 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 cup bacon grease. This is another big key to
the flavor. In a pinch you can use other types
of cooking oil, but bacon is my favorite.
3-6 good shots of Tabasco

You also need some type of cooking oil to deep fry
these in. I usually use Crisco oil although peanut oil
and some of the lower fat oils work well too.

Mix all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add your
eggs, oil, and buttermilk. Stir it all up until
the flavors are thoroughly blended.

Turn your cooker on medium-high heat. When it's
hot you can drop your hush puppies in using a
table spoon. Allow them to brown on all sides.
They should begin floating when done, but if they
don't, don't overcook them.

NC Hush Puppy recipe or if you just can't make it to Wilber's BBQ and buy a big ole bag...

I found this recipe online and it is pretty much how I make them unless I buy regular hush puppy mix or just beg someone to bring the ones from Wilber's. I heat my oil to 375º , drop them in by the spoonfull, and wait for them to float.

1 cup Corn meal
¼ teaspoon Soda
1 tablespoon Flour
¼ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Sugar
½ cup Buttermilk; *note
¼ cup Water
1 Egg; beaten

Mix all dry ingredients together. Then add egg, buttermilk, and water. Drop by spoonful into hot deep fat. Fry to a golden brown. (If a deep pot is used, the hushpuppy will float to the top when done). *NOTE: If you don't want to buy buttermilk, substitute 1/2 c. milk with 1 T. lemon juice added. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes. It works just as well. Please note: You can make variations of this recipe in several ways: i.e., 1/4 c. finely chopped onion, less sugar, etc. But, at the coast of NC the above type recipe is usually served.

Frozen hushpuppies are no where near as good as home made...
