For our family, a good fish dinner just isn't complete without these zesty hush puppies. You can also serve them alone as a satisfying snack. Ingredients:
2 cups cornmeal |
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 egg |
2/3 cup water |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1 cup grated onion |
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped |
1 small green pepper, chopped |
oil for deep-fat frying |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda. In another bowl, whisk the egg, water, buttermilk and butter. Stir in the onion, jalapenos and green pepper. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
2. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Drop batter by teaspoonfuls, a few at a time, into hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm. Yield: 6 dozen.
