In this video, I’ll walk you through the best hushpuppy recipe and share my top tricks to make them light, crispy, and packed with flavor. 🔥 What You’ll Learn: ✅ The perfect dry and wet ingredient mix ✅ Why you should let your batter rest overnight ✅ The ideal frying temperature for golden perfection ✅ Make-ahead tips to save time and feed a crowd 🥣 Step 1: Understanding the Ingredients: "Hushpuppies come together in two simple parts: dry ingredients and wet ingredients. Mixing them properly is key to getting that light, airy texture we all love!" 📌 Dry Ingredients: • 1 cup granulated sugar • 4 cups Martha White Self-Rising Cornmeal • 2 cups all-purpose flour • ½ tablespoon baking powder 📌 Wet Ingredients: • 1 cup buttermilk or whole milk • 1 cup finely chopped onion • ½ cup finely chopped jalapeños • 4 eggs, beaten "Now, a quick tip—always mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately before combining them. Why? Because it prevents overmixing, which can lead to dense hushpuppies instead of light, fluffy ones!" ________________________________________ 🛠️ Step 2: Mixing the Batter Properly: "When combining, gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring gently. This method ensures an even mix without overworking the batter." 💡 Pro Tip: If you let your batter sit at room temperature, it will start to rise and get puffy. When that happens, press it down with a spoon or your hand before frying. 👉 Best Practice: Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight—this allows the flavors to develop and creates a better texture! ________________________________________ 🔥 Step 3: The Perfect Frying Process "Now, let’s fry these bad boys up! Getting the oil temperature right is CRUCIAL. Too hot, and they burn outside but stay raw inside. Too cold, and they turn greasy." 📌 Frying Tips: ✅ Use clean oil and heat it to 325°F for best results. ✅ Use a #70 melon scoop to portion the batter evenly. ✅ Gently press the scoop against the bowl to level it off. ✅ Carefully drop the hushpuppy into the oil and watch for that sizzle—if it sizzles, you know the oil is hot enough! ✅ Cook for about 2 minutes, turning gently for even cooking. 💡 Using a Fry Basket? Let hushpuppies cook for 30 seconds before shaking the basket to prevent sticking. 💡 No Basket? Use a spoon to gently move them around for even frying. ________________________________________ 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Step 4: Feeding a Crowd - Make-Ahead Tips: "If you're cooking for a big group, here’s a game-changer! Pre-cook your hushpuppies to 75% doneness, then drain them and set them aside. Right before serving, drop them back in hot oil for 30 seconds—this keeps them crispy and fresh without the stress of frying everything last minute." 💡 Bonus Tip: The hushpuppy mix can be frozen for months! Just thaw it in the fridge the day before and you're ready to fry. 👨‍🍳 I'm John Woods, and welcome to All Things Food!
