I grew up eating catfish at the many restaurants on Caddo Lake.  It didn’t matter which place you visited, the five courses were always the same: catfish, French fries, Cole slaw, green tomato relish, and hushpuppies.  I’m not saying that I liked the hushpuppies the best, but they are much like potato chips – you can’t eat just one.  Here is a recipe for jalapeno hushpuppies I think you will like.

2 cups cornmeal                                   1 cup flour

2 eggs, beaten                                      3 tsps baking powder

1 ½ tsps salt                                         1 small can cream corn

3 jalapeno peppers, chopped                ¼ bell pepper, chopped

1 small onion, minced                            buttermilk

A pinch of soda

Combine all ingredients using just enough buttermilk to create the consistency of cornbread batter.  Shape and drop into medium-hot oil and cook until golden brown.  Enjoy.
