Homemade Hushpuppies
Medium Scoop We fry a lot of food when friends come over for a holiday. It's easy to serve, and easy for everyone to enjoy. Father's Day came along, and my husband and I had gone fishing the weekend before. So, naturally, fried trout was on the menu for His Big Day. What goes with fried fish better than Hushpuppies! They cook evenly when they are the same size. I like about 2 bites in each little drop of golden deliciousness. So, I drop them into the hot, clean 375 degree oil with the Pampered Chef Medium Scoop. The Hushpuppies get fried first and served as the appetizer.

Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup corn meal
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/8 tsp baking powder (1 heaping tsp works)
  • 3/8 tsp iodized salt (1/4 cup if using kosher salt)
  • 1 egg (mixed with a fork)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup whole milk (warmed in the microwave for 45 sec at 15 sec intervals)
Instructions
  1. Mix the dry ingredients with a fork. Add the green onions, then the beaten egg. In a separate cup heat up the milk until just warm in the microwave. My microwave takes 3 - 15 second intervals with a stir at each stop to bring to the right temperature. Stir the milk into the mixture slowly, making sure the mixture is smooth.
  2. Drop 2 TBSP scoops into 375 degree clean Vegetable Oil, and fry until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Allow to cool on a paper towl lined dish for about 10 min.
Recipe Notes

Don't boil the milk; boiling will cause the flavor to be a little sour.
