Como fazer Alligator Hush Puppies
- Dice the cooked alligator meat into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, sauté the chopped onion (if using) in a small amount of oil until softened. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the diced alligator meat and the sautéed onions.
- Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. This allows the cornmeal to hydrate and the hushpuppies to become more tender.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 365°F (185°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature.
- Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry 8-10 hushpuppies at a time.
- Fry the hushpuppies for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust cooking time based on size of hushpuppies.
- Remove the cooked hushpuppies from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the Alligator Hush Puppies hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
