Ox decided to violate the recipe guidelines and fry this in the same fat from the Fried Chicken recipe. I feel that this is cheating and urged him to have two separate pots of red hot fat on his stove and to stop being a wuss. He was petulantly unwilling to see the light of reason. I relented when he pointed out that it was his house, his food and that he was cooking, so if I wanted to eat...I mean, I'm not a martyr.Ox made home-made mayonnaise for the Green Goddess dressing, using an Alton Brown recipe. He said it was easy.
Holy crap! The first hushpuppie literally flipped itself in the fryer! It was like magic. Maybe the rest will do it too...spell check doesn't like hushpuppy. Thinks it should be pushpin. Okay, the hushpuppies not only flip themselves when they're ready but they form themselves into perfectly round balls. Sean Brock Magic!
This was the perfect day to make these. Sports radio keeps talking about balls - tacky balls, old balls, soft balls (Deflategate). Now I get to talk about puppy balls. These were amazingly delicious. The four minute kicker in the oven resulted in light fluffy insides with crispy, golden exteriors. Lovely with the Green Goddess Dressing.
