| Notes: | The original posted recipe from Carl:
From memory (understand: I never actually made any, just heard Momma and the good folks at Catfish Cabin discussing them), you want a corn meal and egg recipe, with some flour. Pick your favorite one of these (or I'll get Rhonda to dig one up for you); add corn (actually, cream-style is good, too, if you decrease the milk/water/liquid) so that each puppy will contain about 10 kernels or so. Add FINEly chopped jalapenos, just a bit for my taste, or more if you're of a mind. A good puppy should be fried QUICKly, and have about 1/4" of deep brown crunchy coating before getting down to the yummy firm-not-squishy yellow cornmeal inside. For cornbread, BTW, Rhonda insists on Aunt Jemima _White_ cornmeal. To make these in large batches: Scoop the dough onto a lightly greased cookie sheet using a 1 tablespoon serving scoop (at your kitchen supply store as a size 60 disher), freeze, bag, and cook frozen. |
