4 cups
flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 1/2 tablespoons
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
3/4 cup
sugar
1/4 cup
onion powder
3/4 teaspoon
Cajun seasoning
3 cups whole milk
3 whole eggs
1/4 cup
vinegar
1 1/2 cups
pickled jalapenos -- diced
2 quarts oil -- for frying
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
Mix remaining ingredients in another bowl well.
Put the wet ingredients in the dry ingredients all at
once. Stir until just blended.
Heat the oil to 375.
Drop batter into to hot oil by the spoonfiuls.
Cook 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Salt if desired.
MY ADAPTATION OF THE RECIPE:
For the three of us I cut the recipe in 1/2--for using
just for hush puppies I should have cut it down to 1/4.
I cut the amount of onion powder and jalapeno in 1/2
again. So basically a 1/4 amount for
those two ingredients.
I used my homemade Cajun Seasoning recipe for that spice.
VARIATIONS:
This recipe is not as cornmeal tasting as most hush
puppies if you desire that increase the amount of cornmeal to taste and
slightly ingrease the baking powder and baking soda.
Leftover batter can be used as "breading" for
other foods. My original batch was used
the next night to batter fry homemade chicken nuggets. It could be used with
any number of ingredients.
Leave out the jalapenos and Cajun seasoning and use this
batter for a fry bread/sopapilla recipe.
Leave out the jalepenos and Cajun seasoning. Fry per recipe then roll in cinnamon sugar
for a "fried donut" type dessert.
