My review
Quick and Easy Hush Puppies
Denise
"I don't normally like hush puppies. They are generally too dry, too dense, and too bland for my taste. After tasting some in a restaurant that I actually liked, I decided to come up with a recipe of my own. This one deliberately uses stuff right out of the pantry so that it can be whipped up quickly and served fast."

Ready In
- Mix corn muffin mix, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl until blended.
- Stir eggs and evaporated milk into dry ingredients until moistened.
- Stir cream-style corn into mixture to make a moist batter. Let batter stand while oil heats.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 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.
- Remove hush puppies with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with salt if desired.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- This recipe is written for the Jiffy® corn muffin mix, which is very sweet. If you use another brand the balance of flavors will be off and you will likely need to adjust the seasonings.
- If the hush puppies are not done enough, you can put them in the microwave for 30 seconds to finish them.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.

As written, these are too wet to hold their shape in the oil (I tried, lol), so adding some flour to the mix to thicken it up is the perfect remedy (for a 1/2 recipe I think I added between 1/3 ...
