Why is it that you two can
always scatter one my threads with ONE post?
Actually, I want to start messing around with a recipe for Hush Puppies. More like a variation, I want to start with a basic 50/50 mix of corn meal and corn flower with baking powder and some herbs and maybe some bacon crumbles thrown in.
The twist is that I want to borrow from the process of making Bagels and heat a pot of water to boiling while heating up some cooking oil. Once the water is boiling, I plan to add a tea spoon of salt and a table spoon of sugar to the water. For the batter, I want something a little stiffer than pan cake batter but not much thicker.
I plan to (tea) spoon the batter into the pot of water. It should sink and start to cook. When the dough is cooked enough to make the baking powder active, they should then float to the surface. After that, allow to dry off on some paper towel and chuck them into the hot oil and deep fry until golden brown.
