Description
Give traditional hush puppies a Tex-Mex flavor with some Pepper Jack cheese and poblano peppers. Then use buttermilk, Greek yogurt and Ranch seasoning to make a sauce to dip these tender, fluffy little puppies in. Yum!
Ingredients
- Hush Puppies:
- 1 1/2 c. self-rising cornmeal
- 3/4 c. self-rising flour
- 1 1/2 T. sugar
- 1/2 c. shredded Pepper Jack cheese
- 1/4 c. chopped poblano pepper
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 c. buttermilk
- vegetable oil
- Dipping Sauce:
- 1/4 c. Greek yogurt
- 2 T. buttermilk
- 1 T. Ranch seasoning mix from a packet
Steps
- Hush Puppies:
- In a bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, cheese and poblano pepper; add in egg and buttermilk: stir mixture just until combined. Let batter stand for at least 10 minutes.
- In a Dutch oven or similar deep pot, heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to measure temperature and allow oil to come up to 375 degrees. When oil reaches that temperature, drop batter using 2 teaspoons or a small cookie scoop. Add only 3-5 hush puppies at a time, to keep the oil temperature from dropping. Cook hush puppies for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown in color.
