Cheddar-Beer Hush Puppies
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. This sounds very good, on my to make and taste list.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups medium grain cornmeal
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bottle lager, (12 oz / 330 ml)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded, (3 oz / 85 g)
- 2 fresh Jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
- cooking oil, for deep frying, as needed
Instructions
- Fill a saucepan with 3 inches of cooking oil. Heat to 180 C (350 F). Line a baking sheet with 3 layers of paper towels.
- While the oil is heating, add to a large mixing bowl the first 7 ingredients and whisk together.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the lager and egg.
- Slowly whisk the beer mixture into the cornmeal mixture until smooth.
- Stir in the cheese and jalapenos.
- When the oil is hot, work in batches, drop the batter by heaping tablespoons into the oil. Fry 2 minutes or until golden brown, turning as needed.
- Transfer hush puppies to the prepared baking sheet to drain.
- Repeat cooking the remaining batter until all are cooked.
- Serve as side dish, enjoy.
