Yummie Hushpuppies.

[MySuicidalTurtle]

Hello, I got a recipe for Hushpuppies here Open Original Shared Link and made them. They came out great and were easy. I added a little bit of xanthum gum and made a few without onions and pepper for my Mom and the rest with. I think they taste good heated up the next day, too. If you make them remember to cut some in half to check and see if they are done in the middle before taking them all out. Oh, I didn't use any Essence and subsituted all-purpose flour with brown rice flour.

Vegetable oil, for frying

1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 3/4 teaspoons salt

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

3 eggs, lightly beaten

1/3 cup minced green onions

1 cup milk

1/4 cup vegetable oil

Essence, for seasoning, recipe follows

Pour oil to a depth of 3 to 4 inches and preheat to 370 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cayenne. Whisk together the eggs, green onions, milk, and 1/4 cup of the vegetable oil. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until combined.

Carefully spoon 6 or 7 rounded tablespoonfuls of the batter into the preheated oil. Fry the hushpuppies, in batches, until golden brown, stirring constantly for overall browning, 2 to 3 minutes per batch.

Remove the hushpuppies and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Season with additional salt and Essence, if desired. Serve immediately.

I might be wrong, but dosen't Cornmeal contain wheat flour?

No, it's made from corn and I called the company to ask and make sure they were gluten0free even though I read the product was so on their website. Thanks for the concern though.

Bob's Red Mill makes a gluten-free all purpose flour that is fabulous! I'm using it in all my old recipies now to make them gluten-free. Thought this would help, since I know alot of the plain grain flours don't always work in substitutions.

I have been dying for hushpuppies I can't wait to try these! Thanks so much for not only finding the recipe but trying it out first!

Edit: I made these over the weekend and they were a huge hit!

For people that cannot have dairy there are a lot of hush puppy recipes that do not contain milk, I have never used milk in hush puppies, also no flour, just corn meal, and there is no need for xantham gum. Hush puppies are just an old Southern food that used to be made on the river banks at fish frys, orginally to feed the hound dogs (& the kids)... So if you cannot have the above things just check the mainstream recipes for Hush Puppies until you find one that does not use milk or flour.

There is a good recipe on the Clabber Girl Baking Powder can & website. It does have milk though.
