Preparation:
Combine dry ingredients. Add buttermilk and bacon drippings, stir until well blended. Pour about four inches of peanut oil into a frying skillet or deep fryer and heat to 350F. Spread batter evenly, 1/2 inch thick, on flat surface of a pancake turner. With a knife, push 1/2 inch wide segments of batter into the hot oil, cooking only a few at a time. When hush puppies float, turn them so they brown evenly. Drain on paper towels. |
