I love these sweet Jiffy hush puppies. The honey Jiffy cornbread mix makes for the sweetest, yet most savory bite. These are homemade and seriously really simple to make. Mix all your ingredients in a bowl and drop them in to hot grease for about 3 to 4 minutes each. They’ll be so golden and crispy. Serve these with butter or honey for the perfect bite!
Ok. Don’t be intimidated by this homemade hush puppies recipe. This is one of the simplest and most delicious recipes I’ve made in a long time. These are so perfect for any fish fry or cookout. I loved using this honey Jiffy cornbread mix. It makes them perfectly sweet yet savory at the same time.
Equipment You’ll Need
Ok. When I fry food, I always do it the old-fashioned way. I use a skillet and grease. I’ll heat the temperature up to around 350 and that’s it. If you have a fryer, by all means use it!
I found that using a cookie scoop was the easiest way to portion out the hush puppies. I also didn’t cut the onion. I grated it with a cheese grater. I liked the way it softened up the onion on the inside instead of having big chunks.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Honey Jiffy Mix:
You’ll need one box of the Jiffy honey cornbread mix.
Cornmeal:
I added in more cornmeal. The texture of the batter needs to be thick.
Eggs:
You’ll need two large eggs.
Onion:
You’ll need one white onion. Maybe medium sized. Instead of cutting it, you’ll grate it with a cheese grater.
Pimentos:
You’ll use about a tablespoon or two of pimentos. This is the little jar of pimentos. I use them in so many recipes.
Milk:
You’ll need about a quarter of a cup of milk.
How to Make Jiffy Hush Puppies
Step One:
Fill a large skillet or fryer with vegetable or canola oil. Make sure it’s at least 2 to 3 inches deep. Heat until oil reaches 350 degrees.
Step two:
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Using a cookie scooper or two spoons, drop a ball of batter directly into the hot grease. They will flip over themselves while cooking. Remove once they are a golden brown. Serve and enjoy!
