and Cornbread Recipes

Old Recipe Book >> Bakery >> Cornbread

Hush puppies are a favorite with fried fish. Fry them in the fat in which the fish has been cooked, it gives them more flavor.

I wish I had the recipe for Bubba Gumps Hush Puppies. We had some when we ate at Bubba Gumps Seafood Restaurant in Times Square.

Southern Hush Puppies

Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Combine eggs and milk; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Stir in cheese, pepper, corn, and onion (do not over-stir batter).

Pour oil to depth of 2 inches into a small Dutch oven; heat to 375. Carefully drop batter by rounded tablespoons into oil; fry puppies, a few at a time, 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels.

Cornmeal Mush

This is something mom used to buy in the grocery store, and slice it and fry it, and serve with butter and syrup. I haven't seen this in the store in a very long time. Fortunately, I have the recipe!

2 3/4 c. water
1 c. cornmeal
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1 c. cold water

To unmold the cornmeal mush, loosen edges with a spatula. Turn out onto a cutting board. Cut into 1/2-inch slices, dip into extra cornmeal. Fry in a small amount of hot bacon drippings or a combination of oil and bacon drippings. Turn to brown both sides. Serve with butter and hot syrup. Delicious with bacon and eggs, too. Wrap unused cornmeal mush in plastic wrap and store in refrigerator.
