I’ve had this recipe in my try-it file for quite awhile now. You know how you have the best of intentions of doing something, but you keep putting it off until tomorrow? Then it slips your mind for awhile and before you know it, six months have passed and you STILL haven’t done it. When I first saw this recipe I knew I wanted to try it. Hush puppies without deep frying? Get out of here I thought! No way could they taste as good as one of my secret guilty pleasures, hush puppies from Long John Silvers. I was right to, they don’t taste like LJS. But why should they? They’re baked, not deep fried like the restaurants version. They came out tasting delicious, with a slight crunch to them on the outside, but nice and soft on the inside. They’re a lot lighter and healthier to, what with not swimming around in all that oil. They paired perfectly with the fish fry we had last week, and will be a welcome addition to our menu in the future.
Baked Hush Puppies
2 cups corn meal
1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 green onion with the green top, finely chopped
2 eggs
1 cup milk
Mix the corn meal, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together. Add the onion and mix well. Whisk the milk and eggs together, then add to the flour mixture and blend well.
Drop by tablespoon onto a well oiled baking sheet.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned
