Crispy Hush Puppies
Ingredients
  • 2 (8.5 ounce) packages dry corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy®)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1 (14.75 ounce) can cream-style corn
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
  • 1 pinch salt to taste
Instructions
1
Combine the corn muffin mix, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl to create a uniform blend.
2
Combine eggs and evaporated milk, stirring until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
3
Add cream-style corn to the mixture, blending until a moist batter forms. Allow the batter to rest while heating the oil.
4
Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), ensuring it reaches the optimal temperature.
5
Carefully drop a small amount of batter into the hot oil, keeping close to the surface to minimize splashing. Fry hush puppies in batches until they turn golden brown, approximately 3 minutes per batch.
6
Use a slotted spoon to remove the hush puppies from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with salt if desired.
