Add the corn, red pepper, green onion, and hot sauce to the batter. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour and no more than 24 hours.

When you are ready to use the batter:

Fill the Cuisinart™ Deep Fryer with vegetable oil to the maximum line. Preheat to 375˚F. While the oil is heating, place the egg white in a separate mixing bowl and beat until stiff but not dry peaks form. Carefully fold the white into the batter in 2 additions, using a large rubber spatula. Be sure to completely incorporate the two.

When oil is ready, lower the basket in the oil. Carefully spoon ¼ cup of batter at a time in to the oil. Fry in batches – do not overcrowd – for a total of 4 to 6 minutes, turning fritters halfway through cook time. Lift basket and let the oil drain out. With a pair of tongs, place on layered paper towels to drain, season with salt and serve.

1cup cornmeal (yellow or white)

¹⁄³

cup plus 1 tablespoon buttermilk

3tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

pinch freshly ground pepper

Fry about 3 to 4 minutes, turning to cook on all sides after they start to float, until crispy and golden brown on the exterior. Lift basket from oil and let drain. Use tongs to transfer Hush Puppies to layered paper towels. May be kept warm on a wire rack placed on a jelly-roll pan in a preheated 200°F oven.

Variations to Hush Puppies:

Add 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped seeded fresh jalapeño pepper to the batter.

Hush Puppy Batter may also be used to make Corn Dogs or Mini Corn Dogs. Dust hot dogs or mini wieners in flour. Coat with a layer of Hush Puppy batter, about 1⁄8-inch thick. Lower basket into preheated oil. Gently add coated dogs to hot oil and cook until golden brown and floating. Turn with tongs to cook evenly on all sides. Lift basket and let drain.
