The other day the kids asked if we could make hush puppies but we were out of cornmeal so I had to say no.
Fast forward to today...cornmeal had been purchased and the kids asked again...so it's hush puppies for supper tonight.
We love Capt'n D's hushpuppies but they are deep fat fried and are 100 calories for each small pup.
A few years ago I came across a recipe for oven baked hushpuppies - so when the craving hits - we make our own.

Oven Baked Hush Puppies
2/3 c yellow cornmeal
1/3 c flour
1 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/2 c minced onion
1/3 c skim milk
1 T vegetable oil
1/8 t salt
1 egg beaten
Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Combine onion, milk, oil, pepper and egg. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients - stirring until just moistened.
Spoon 1 T into mini muffin pans coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 450 degrees for 10 min or until lightly browned. Remove from pan immediately.
The kids loved them, but upon tasting them, ds remarked that he thought we ought to buy some store-bought ones some time. Hmmm guess they are not quite up to the Captain's standards for him.
