Justin Wilson's Hush Puppies

It's that time again when many us fish or someone we know might bring over a batch to fry...........yum yum's
This is a great recipe from a great cajun cook. Now deceased, rest in peace Mr.Wilson



Justin Wilson's Hush Puppies Recipe

Deep fat for frying
Ground cayenne pepper
1 c Buttermilk
1 c Green onion, finely chopped
1 c Plain flour
1 ts Baking powder
1 ts Salt
1/2 c Parsley, finely chopped
1/2 ts Garlic powder (to taste)
1/2 ts Soda
2 c Cornmeal
2 tb Bacon drippings, hot
2 Eggs, beaten

48 servings

Combine all dry ingredients.
Add eggs, buttermilk, onions, and oil or bacon drippings. Mix well.
Drop in deep hot fat by spoonfuls and brown on all sides.

Hush puppy is an old Southern term that originated after the Civil War.
People didn't have enough for themselves to eat let alone feed their
dogs, so when the old hounds started barking from hunger, they would
throw pieces of fried corn bread to them, yelling, "Shut up, dog! Hush,
puppy!" 8)

ON-YIONS anyone? I used to watch Justin Wilson all the time with my father and as a little girl enamoured by his humorous tales while stirring his pots. I still fear lifting the lid off the pot of beans. heheh. My father still talks about and tries to talk like the 'ole Cajun.
