Spicy Booty Hush Puppies

Crispy outside, tender inside, with a smoky kick from Spicy Booty Rub.

Ingredients

• 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix

• 1 egg

• ¼–⅓ cup buttermilk

• 1½–2 teaspoons Spicy Booty Rub

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• Oil for frying

Directions

1. Heat frying oil to 350°F.

2. In a bowl, combine the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, flour, and Spicy Booty Rub.

3. Add the egg and ¼ cup buttermilk. Stir until combined.

4. Add a little more buttermilk, if needed, until you have a thick scoopable batter.

5. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

6. Drop small spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil.

7. Fry for about 2–3 minutes, turning as needed, until golden brown and cooked through.

8. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving

Serve warm with Spicy Booty Comeback Sauce for dipping or a light drizzle.

Optional

For a more traditional hush puppy flavor, add 1–2 tablespoons very finely minced onion to the batter.

Best for sampling: make them small and bite-sized so they fry quickly and stay easy to serve. (Check out the Spicy Booty Comeback sauce: a tangy “cocktail sauce” that works perfectly with hush puppies)
