Cajun Hush Puppies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cajun Hush Puppies.

1. Step 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir in the baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper to taste. This blend of dry ingredients will create a flavorful base for your hush puppies.

2. Step 2

   Next, crack in the eggs and mix well until everything is combined. The eggs will help bind the ingredients together, giving your hush puppies a lovely texture.

3. Step 3

   Now, fold in the minced bell peppers and onions, adding a burst of color and flavor to the mix. Then, gently stir in the cream-style corn, whole kernel corn, and chopped pimento peppers. This combination will make your hush puppies moist and delicious!

4. Step 4

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large saucepan to 375°F (190°C). It's important to get the oil hot enough so that the hush puppies fry up crispy and golden brown.

5. Step 5

   Once the oil is ready, drop tablespoon-sized balls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 5 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the hush puppies and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, and enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen!
