1 Video | Photo: Jalapeno Hushpuppies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 quarts peanut oil, for frying
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 (7-ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers, drained or 3/4 cup fresh jalapenos, seeded and finely diced
- 1 (15-ounce) can creamed corn
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Paula Deen's Sweet and Spicy Chili Sauce, for dipping, optional
Directions
Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven.
In a 1-quart mixing bowl, stir the cornmeal, flour, onion, jalapeno, corn, and eggs, until blended. Allow to stand 5 minutes.
Drop the batter by teaspoonfuls into the hot oil. Don't overcrowd; leave room for the hushpuppies to be turned. Cook the hushpuppies until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Keep the cooked hushpuppies warm in an oven while cooking the remaining batter. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste, and transfer them to a serving dish. Serve with Paula Deen's Sweet and Spicy Chili Sauce, if desired.

OMG those are so good! My whole family loved them and the sauce, however I didn't have sweet chili sauce but I did have the hot so I used it and made up the difference with catsup and I put a little dill relish in it .......I didn't have self-rising flour or corn meal..but to make your own.....FOR each CUP of FLOUR AND CORN MEAL add 1 1/4 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. and the other day I saw you making okra fritters, next time I am going to put chopped okra in half of the mix by just dividing mix..........and we can have two flavors....I bet it will be good.............thanks for recipe...I'll look no more, these are perfect!
