Crush Puppies Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk the egg, milk and onion; add to dry ingredients just until combined. , In a cast-iron Dutch oven or an electric skillet, heat oil to 365°. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into oil. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 2-1/2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.

Steps:

• For the dough: Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Add the sugar, yeast, 1 cup of the flour and 1 cup warm water to a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Press down to remove excess air from the bag. Close the bag tightly and squish the ingredients in the bag until well mixed. Let the bag sit for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.
• Add the butter, oil, salt and another cup of flour, close the bag and mix well. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour and mix again until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the dough begins to pull away from the bag.
• For the topping: Whisk together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Pour the dough out of the bag onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough until it comes together and is not sticking to the board. Using your fingers, flatten out the dough into a circle about an inch in thickness. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture on top of the dough. Gently roll the dough (like a burrito) to make the shape of a loaf. Tuck the sides of the dough under to keep the cinnamon mixture inside. Place the dough seam-side down into the prepared loaf pan and cover with a kitchen towel. Let the dough rest and rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Once the dough has risen, remove the towel and bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan.

Steps:

• Put the cereal in a large bowl and set aside.
• Melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter together in a saucepan over low heat. Pour over the cereal and toss to coat thoroughly. Add 4 cups of the chocolate wafer cookies and toss to coat. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish, then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup cookie crumbs over the top.
• Add the melted chocolate to a piping bag fitted with a fine round tip.
• To make gravestones, pull apart the sandwich cookies and remove the frosting. On the flat side of the cookies, add a border of chocolate around the edge and "RIP" at the top of each. Decorate the graveyard with marshmallow ghosts, gummy worms and gravestones.

Steps:

• Place the crabmeat on a paper towel and cover with another paper towel. Press lightly to remove any excess liquid. Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and brown sugar in a medium bowl until they are incorporated evenly.
• Next, add your buttermilk and egg and stir completely into mixture to loosen it up. Spoon in your crab meat and mix completely. Follow this with the corn, green onion, jalapenos and garlic. Incorporate the Parmesan and bacon (you can increase the amounts of Parmesan and bacon if you like, and want that to be more of a dominant flavor over the crab). Cover bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate for an hour to congeal for frying.
• Heat 5 inches canola oil to fry in a medium pot to 350 degrees F.
• Scoop 1-ounce balls from the hush puppy mixture and fry in batches, stirring and prodding occasionally, until evenly golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a paper towel to blot any excess oil.
