1/4 pound Plus 2 Tbsp unsalted butter

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; mix well,
breaking up any lumps. Work the butter in by hand until the mixture
resembles coarse cornmeal, making sure no lumps are left. Gradually stir
in the milk, mixing just until dry ingredients are moistened. DO NOT
OVERBEAT. Spoon the batter into 12 greased muffin cups. Bake at 350F until
golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. The finished muffins should have a
thick crust with a cakelike centre. From Paul Prudhomme’s Louisiana

Justin Wilson’s Hush Puppies
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 48 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cajun Breads
Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 cups Cornmeal
1 cup Plain flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Soda
1/2 cup Parsley — finely chopped
Deep fat for frying
Combine all dry ingredients. Add eggs, buttermilk, onions, and oil or
bacon drippings. Mix well. Drop in deep hot fat by spoonfuls and brown
on all sides. Now, I said above that this makes 48, I’ve never counted, so
I don’t know for sure. But it sure does make a bunch.
The main reason why I said 48 is because the program, MenuMaster, won’t
let you past that field unless you tell it something. Justin Wilson says,
“Hush puppy is an old Southern term that originated after the Civil War.
People didn’t have enough for themselves to eat let alone feed their dogs,
so when the old hounds started barking from hunger, they would throw
pieces of fried corn bread to them, yelling, ‘Shut up, dog! Hush puppy!”
