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.

Jello Cake

Ingredients:

•  2 pkgs single layer white cake mix (Jiffy or similar)
  
•  1 pkg Jello (or other brand) gelatin (flavor is your choice)
  

Prep:
Prepare white cake mix per pkg directions, except add the pkg of gelatin to the dry cake mix. Mix well with electric mixer until you get a uniform color and your mixer leaves "wake trails" behind it.

Pour into a 13 x 9 cake pan and bake at 350 for about 50-60 minutes. Cool and frost with your favorite frosting.

Apple Johnny Cake

Ingredients:

•  4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin
  
•  1 c water
  
•  1 c brown sugar
  
•  1 t cinnamon
  
•  1/4 t ground cloves
  
•  1/4 t allspice
  
•  2 pkgs corn bread mix (Jiffy brand or similar)
  

Prep:
(The Jiffy mix requires an egg and 1/3 cup milk per pkg, other brands may have different requirements). Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease and flour a 13x9 cake pan. Submerge the apple slices in the water while you are coring and slicing the apples to prevent them from turning brown. When they are all sliced, add the brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves and allspice to the apples and water. In a saucepan, bring the mixture to a boil.

Mix one pkg of the corn bread according to pkg directions and spread it carefully in the bottom of the cake pan. Ladle the apple mixture on top gently (don't clobber the batter!), leaving enough left over to top the cake. Mix the second pkg of corn bread and spread it over the apple filling in the pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until the top is an even golden brown. Spread the remaining apple filling over the top of the cake while it is still warm.
Cut after cooling.
