Kent's Savory Hush Puppy Recipe

1 cup yellow cornmeal
¼ cup of flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 egg beaten
¾ cup whole milk
1 small onion, diced
4 sweet peppers, diced
2 jalepenos, diced

In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk in the egg and milk. Stir in the onion, peppers and jalapenos.

With floured hands, pinch off the dough and form into about 2 ½ x ½-inch cylinders.

In a deep cast iron skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil to 350 - 365°. Drop the batter into the oil. Fry for about 2 to 2-1/2 minutes or until golden brown rotating. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm. Makes 15 - 17.

Shannon's Sweet Hush Puppy Recipe

½ cup minced sweet yellow Vidalia onion
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
¼ cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons honey
Fry oil

In a skillet, melt the butter. Stir in the onion and cook over medium heat until the onions become tender, about 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk and honey.

Toss the cooked onions into the dry flour mixture. Slowly stir in the milk mixture just until combined. Don’t over stir.

Fill a saucepan about 1 ½ to 2-inches deep with the fry oil. Heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F.

With your hands, form the dough into about 1-inch sized balls. Add a little flour to your hands if needed to prevent sticking. Add to the oil and fry until all sides are a rich golden brown, rotating frequently.

Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes about 2 dozen hush puppies

RIP Frank, the happiest dog 🐾 ever!!!

Kent and Shannon, that was very loving tribute to Frank. I’m sure he had an amazing life with you. Chasing rabbits in heaven won’t be all that different to him.

I am so very sorry for your loss!!! Such a sweet fur baby!

My wife and mother-in-law make a similar type of hush puppy with a Puerto Rican flare. It is good eating. I like the way Kent takes his time to do it right and he explains the methods so people in general can try out his recipes at home.

[c.ranger]

I recently found your channel and absolutely love it. I love the ways and lifestyle of yesteryear. I am so sorry you lost your sweet baby Frank. Dogs are truly "man's best friend". I know it hurts, but be comforted to know you gave him a good life. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and beautiful scenery.

Sorry for your loss🥺. You were blessed with an amazing companion. Was in the park with my old lab prior to watching your video. 13 year old lab on his way to better pastures. Will be saying goodbye soon. Unconditional love. So tough watching them struggle to keep going always hiding their pain to please. Thanks for the Amazing vids! And god bless!
