just going to go ahead and mince it up
0:23
really good you know it's all about
0:25
Flavor when you make hush puppies
0:28
there's only six ingredients that we're
0:30
using for this recipe plus
0:35
seasonings I'm going to be using half of
0:37
a yellow onion and take all this stuff
0:42
off so I've cut off the both ends and
0:45
we're just peeling off that outer layer
0:47
we're just going to chop it in
0:51
half cut that half into fours I'm going
0:54
to take my small food processor I'm just
0:58
in I love this little thing it's so easy
1:00
to use you just drop it on there push
1:06
down and as fast as that look aty split
1:10
all right we're going to hold on to
1:11
those we're going to start with one and
1:14
1/2 cups of self-rising yellow cornmeal
1:18
mix now it's self-rising so it already
1:21
has the leavings in here to make them
1:26
up I'm using a measuring tool here half
1:36
two to that we're going to add in half a
1:47
flour and then we're going to add in for
1:51
sweetener 1 tablespoon of sugar or you
1:54
can put in honey we're going to take out
1:58
sugar and we're going to put in Honey
2:01
this is the good stuff pure Texas honey
2:04
we get it from a farmers market down the
2:06
road one tabl spoon yay Thomas por that
2:10
was a Thomas por is add one egg we're
2:13
going to crack it into a bowl make sure
2:17
there and then over there into the sink
2:24
fork beat this up a little bit I'm going
2:27
have Thomas go get some buttermilk
2:31
keys I'm just kidding it's in the
2:36
refrigerator all right in go the
2:42
y'all did I say half a
2:49
cup now if you don't have buttermilk you
2:53
can take your measuring cup you can put
2:55
in about half a tablespoon of lemon
2:58
juice or vinegar fill it up to the half
3:01
cup line with regular milk Stir It Up
3:06
let it sit for just a minute and then
3:09
buttermilk so we're going to add
3:15
this now we got to add some
3:18
spices we're keeping it simple we're
3:20
going to be using this Cajun all
3:22
seasoning it's got onion powder garlic
3:25
powder paprika it's got like red peppers
3:28
in here and and it's like a pepper blend
3:32
that's about it in some paprika so we're
3:35
going to be using this one teaspoon if
3:37
you don't want to use this you can use a
3:39
mixture of garlic powder onion powder
3:42
paprika little bit of salt and maybe
3:46
some black pepper if you want that in
3:48
there we're going to take our whisk
3:54
together make sure you get down to the
3:58
bottom now look at it if you feel like
4:00
you need to add some extra milk to it
4:03
you can do that also we're going to need
4:11
more we're going to go from the Whisk
4:15
while I pound it all out there we go wo
4:20
spatula you don't want it runny because
4:25
your hush puppies so you want a nice
4:30
we're going to take our minced onion
4:32
we're going to place that in you can
4:34
also like d seed and D membrane
4:41
jalapeno and mince that up also or you
4:44
could just dice it up and put it in
4:46
there if you want to do
4:48
that I ate all my jalapeno he ate them
4:51
all so this is what he gets right here
4:54
that looks pretty good you want it to
5:02
we're going to make the hush puppies
5:04
you're going to need several tools and
5:06
equipment first thing you're going to
5:07
need is a large Dutch oven or you can
5:10
even do this in a cast iron skillet but
5:12
you want to make sure it's really deep
5:14
it can hold about 2 to 3 inches of
5:16
cooking oil we've got a thermometer to
5:20
check the oil we've got a spider it's
5:25
kind of a spider tool that we can get
5:27
them out with we've got our scoop this
5:30
is a cookie scoop it's a 1 and 1/2 inch
5:32
that'll make the perfect size Hush Puppy
5:35
we've got some canola
5:37
oil as they come out of the Dutch oven
5:40
you're going to need a rack this will
5:43
kind of help drain your Hush Puppies
5:46
I've got it in a sheet pan lined with
5:48
some parchment paper or foil for easy
5:51
clean up now we're going to have our
5:54
oven preheated at 200° so that as we're
5:57
putting them on the rack on the sheet
5:58
pan we can put put them in the oven let
6:00
them stay warm while we finish the
6:03
batches up all right let's start we've
6:05
got our Dutch oven on a medium high heat
6:10
we're going to add in about 2 to 3 Ines
6:21
two and I'm just probably going to put
6:23
it all in there there we
6:27
go we're going to bring this to about
6:31
350° and we'll use our thermometer to
6:34
check it as we go along until we get to
6:36
that temperature now this was a 40 flu
6:38
ounce bottle our oil is to Temp we're
6:42
going to take our cookie scoop we're
6:43
going to go into our batter it's had
6:45
time to rest and get nice and puffy so
6:48
we're just going to scoop along the edge
6:51
there should look like that and then
6:54
we're going to place it
6:56
in we'll do about eight of them for
7:01
you want it to let it rest on the bottom
7:02
until it pops up don't go in there start
7:05
moving around or you're going to tear up
7:10
Puppies Let's see we got four five
7:15
six and we'll do about seven right there
7:17
so we can keep an eye on them now as
7:19
they've had time to rest pop them up but
7:22
it's very important that you let them
7:23
sit down there and form a crust before
7:25
you pull them up it's going to take
7:28
about 2 to 3 minutes we're going to
7:29
going to start rotating these around
7:31
till they get nice and golden brown
7:34
don't those look beautiful look at
7:37
them all right while she's doing that
