Description

Another great recipe from Grandma Blacknall’s recipe box: baked hushpuppies!

Making a pot of chili for game day? These baked hushpuppies are a great addition to your menu! You can also just add these to a finger food buffet. Everyone will love them!

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Cornmeal
  • ½ cups Flour
  • 1-½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 whole Egg, Beaten
  • 6 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Red Pepper & Jalapeno
  • ¼ cups Chopped Green Onion
  • ⅓ cups Skim Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 24 teaspoons Honey

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425F.

Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl.

Beat egg in a separate bowl.

Finely chop red pepper, jalapeno, and green onions.

Combine all ingredients and stir until moistened.

Spoon about 1 tablespoonful into greased muffin pans. I used a mini muffin pan to make them more finger friendly. Plus, I just love mini anything!

Bake at 425F for 15 to 20 minutes for regular muffin pans and about 8 to 12 minutes for mini muffin pans.

Although I added more sugar than Grandma Blacknall’s recipe called for, I still thought they needed something sweet. So I after I pulled them out of the oven, I spooned a little bit of honey over the top of each hushpuppy while they were cooling in the muffin pans. This was the perfect touch in my opinion, but experiment and find what’s perfect for your family! I also added in the jalapenos to give it a touch of spiciness. I didn’t really notice it too much, but you could leave it out if needed!

Tried these tonight…they’re great! I didn’t have any peppers on hand, so I left them out. And I didn’t care for the honey, but the hushpuppies were wonderful. They turned out just like the photo. One note: this recipe makes 6 regular-size muffins. Yum!

These were very good. I made them and let them set for a bit before cooking, and they raised very well, and I just popped them out of the pan and drizzeled the honey on top. They were a big hit with the chili! Thanks

I thought these had wonderful flavor, and were a great alternative to traditional hushpuppies (I mostly avoid deep frying anything because I hate the oil clean-up).

Without really measuring the veggies, I used about half a red pepper and half a jalapeno (seeded), and three or four green onions. I used mini muffin pans, so I chopped eveything up super fine. That way there were no giant chunks of jalapeno to bite into, but it still provided a hint of spiciness that I really liked.

I do like these better with the honey on top, although I don’t thnk I used anywhere near a whole teaspoon on each – I just squeezed a little dollop on (probably closer to 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon) and spread it over he top with the back of a spoon.

These accompanied green beans as sides to our BBQ pulld pork sandwiches, and were great. Even my 15-month-old devoured two of them!

Oh my gosh, I can’t wait to try these! New oven being delivered Tuesday and I”m starting my “gonna ‘fix’ this and that” list. Here in Texas we say, we going to “fix this for supper” or “we’re fixin’ to go.” Not sure how that all fits into the English grammar but that’s what I’m “gonna do!” This recipe hits the top of the list! Thanks for sharing.

Doubled this recipe to serve with baked catfish at our weekly Wednesday Night Dinner, and they were certainly a hit. They look like mini cornbread muffins, but they eat like hush puppies! They taste fine by themselves or with the honey. I can see these pairing well with a bowl of chili or as a stand-alone appetizer. Easy to make and there are numerous options available with or without jalapenos, depending on the crowd you are serving. Thanks for contributing this recipe.
