Hush Puppies, Baked

Recipe Introduction


From "Healthy Meals in Minutes", 1995. These hush puppies are baked, not fried. They are lower in fat and calories than the classic Southern variety.





List of Ingredients



• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  
• 1 tsp baking powder
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 1/2 tsp paprika
  
• 1/2 cup skim milk
  
• 1 egg white
  
• 1 tbsp canola oil
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable spray.
   
   
2. In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, baking powder, salt and paprika. Mix well.
   
   
3. In a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg white, and oil until smooth.
   
   
4. Add milk mixture to cornmeal mixture. Stir until batter is just combined. Shape into 1-1/2 inch rounds with the help of a spoon. If the batter sticks to the spoon, use another flour-coated spoon to help remove it. Place rounds, 1 inch apart, on prepared baking sheet.
   
   
5. Bake hush puppies until tops are firm and golden, about 10-15 minutes. Serve immediately.
