Equipment

Ingredients

Sauce

  • 1 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup sweet relish
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha or your favorite hot sauce

Hush puppies

  • 1 cup medium grind cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup flour plus more for dusting the dogs
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
  • 1/2 a medium sized onion minced
  • 2 jalapenos minced
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 25 mini hot dogs
  • oil for frying

Instructions

Sauce

  • Mix all the sauce ingredients and store in the fridge until ready to use.

Hush Puppies

  • Preheat frying oil to 350
  • Combine the cornmeal, flower, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, paprika, ad cayenne in a large bowl. Stir.
  • Add the onion, jalapeno, garlic, milk, and egg and stir until fully mixed.
  • put the dusting flour in a shallow bowl. Add about 5 of the mini hot dogs to the flour and roll them around.
  • Shake all the excess flour off as good as you can, then transfer to the cornmeal mix.
  • One by one, use a spoon to get a hot dog out of the batter so that it is still fully coated, and drop it into the hot oil. This is the trickiest part of the recipe but I quickly got the hang of it after the first few.
  • While the first 5 are frying, you can start dusting the next batch with flour and add them to the cornmeal. Make sure to rotate the hot dogs in the hot oil as they cook so they brown evenly.
  • When they are nicely golden brown, transfer to a drying rack and sprinkle with some salt.
  • Serve with the sauce.
