Recipe Summary Hawaiian Hush Puppies

This was given to me by a friend years ago. I have since tweaked it to my liking and think you will like it also. I have eaten it many times with fried tilapia. I call them Hawaiian hush puppies because that's what they remind me of with the pineapples and slight sweetness.

Ingredients | Hawaiian Poi Recipe

oil for deep frying

1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn, drained

1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

2 cups cornmeal

1 cup self-rising flour

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

½ cup minced onion

½ cup white sugar

2 eggs, beaten

1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).

Mix canned corn, pineapple, cornmeal, flour, Cheddar cheese, onion, sugar, eggs, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.

Drop as many teaspoonfuls of batter into the hot oil that the pan will allow; cook until golden brown or until they float to the top, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with any remaining batter.

For thicker batter, use a little more cornmeal until the batter has the consistency of drop biscuits.

You can use your choice of shredded cheese.

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
