Jiffy Hush Puppies

Fish n' Chips is one of my favorite meals, and these go great along side.

Ingredients:

• 2 boxes Jiffy mix
  
• 1 cup flour
  
• 1 egg
  
• 2 tsp. baking powder
  
• 1/2 tsp. salt
  
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped fine
  
• 3 cloves of garlic, chopped fine
  
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of Emeril's Essence (BAM!)
  
• Milk
  

Combine all ingredients except milk. Just before cooking, add milk. Drop by teaspoons into deep hot fat. Cook until done (about 2 minutes at 350 degrees). Flip over halfway through cooking to brown both sides.

Emeril's Bayou Blast (AKA "Essence" or "BAM!")

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 Tbs. paprika
  
• 2 Tbs. salt
  
• 2 Tbs. garlic powder
  
• 1 Tbs. black pepper
  
• 1 Tbs. onion powder
  
• 1 Tbs. ground cayenne pepper
  
• 1 Tbs. dried oregano
  
• 1 Tbs. dried thyme
  

Prep:
Combine all ingredients. Makes about 1/2 cup. I find it works best in a shaker bottle so you can control the amount used!
