Jalapeno Hushpuppies

Ingredients

  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 Cup Cornmeal
  • 1 1/2 Tb. baking powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 cup dried onion
  • 3/4 tsp. Cajun seasoning
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups diced pickled jalapenos
  • Oil for frying

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients.
In a smaller bowl, mix all other ingredients. (The vinegar with curdle the milk a little.)
Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture all at once. Stir until just blended.

Heat a large pot of oil to 375 degrees F. Drop the hushpuppy mix by the spoonful into the hot oil. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Check the first few for doughy-ness. Repeat with the rest.

Scoop out of the oil and place on paper towels. Salt if needed.
