Quick and Easy Hush Puppies
Description
These quick and easy hush puppies use corn muffin mix and are nicely spiced with garlic and onion powder.
Ingredients
•
2 (8 1/2 ounce) packages dry corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy®)
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1 teaspoon onion powder
•
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•
3 eggs
•
1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
•
1 (14 3/4 ounce) can cream-style corn
•
1 quart vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
•
1 pinch salt to taste
Directions
1
Mix corn muffin mix, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl until blended.
2
Stir eggs and evaporated milk into dry ingredients until moistened.
3
Stir cream-style corn into mixture to make a moist batter. Let batter stand while oil heats.
4
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5
Gently drop a teaspoon of batter at a time into the hot oil, staying as close to the oil as possible to avoid splattering. Fry hush puppies until golden brown, about 3 minutes per batch.
6
Remove hush puppies with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with salt if desired.
