Hushpuppies
Ingredients
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup corn flour
1 tbsp baking powder
3/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/8 tsp dried oregano leaves
1/4 cup vy fine chopped green onions
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
2 tbsp pork lard
1 vegetable for deep frying
Preparation
NOTE: Corn flour is available at health food stores. Combine all the
dry ingredients in a large bowl, breaking up any lumps. Stir in the
green onions and garlic. Add the eggs and blend well. In a small
saucepan bring the milk and lard (or other fat) to a boil; remove
from heat and add to flour mixture, half at a time, stirring well
after each addition.
Refrigerate 1 hour. In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat 4
inches of oil to 350F. Drop the batter by tablespoonsfuls into the
hot oil. Do not crowd.
Cook until dark golden brown on each side and cooked through, about 1
minute per side. Drain on paper towels. Makes about 30 hushpuppies.
