Hushpuppies

Directions

1. 1
   Whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt, to taste, in a large bowl.
2. 2
   In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal and flour.
3. 3
   Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until incorporated and the batter is thick.
4. 4
   In a heavy-bottomed pot, (Dutch oven) heat enough peanut oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 360 degrees F.
5. 5
   Working in batches, drop the batter, 1 tablespoon (I like to use a small ice cream scoop) at a time, into the oil, being careful to not overcrowd the pot.
6. 6
   Fry until deep golden on all sides, turning in the oil for even cooking, about 5 minutes.
7. 7
   Transfer the hushpuppies to a paper towel-lined dish and sprinkle with salt while hot.

   Enjoy!
