hushpuppies

 I've never loved eating seafood, but I've always loved eating at Red Lobster, Joe's Crab Shack, and Long John Silvers.  Why, you ask?  Well, I'll tell you...I heart hushpuppies!

What's not to love about a hushpuppy?  They are beautiful balls of cornbready goodness!  And I just love saying the word...hushpuppy...hushpuppy...HUSHPUPPY!!!

These are incredibly easy to make...not exactly healthy, but incredibly easy.  I blame their lack of health on my husband.  I think he's secretly trying to fatten me up by picking these kinds of recipes.

Hushpuppies

• 2 cups cornmeal
• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 T. baking powder
• 1 t. cayenne
• 1 egg
• can cream style corn
• salt and pepper to taste
• oil for deep frying

Heat 2-inches of oil to 375 degrees in a large skillet. Mix all other ingredients together and drop by tablespoonfuls into the oil.  Cook until golden brown.  Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off excess oil.  Makes about 3 dozen.
