We got a deep fryer for Christmas, so we wanted to try it out, finally! We made some hushpuppies to go along with next week's video, which will be a big ol' shrimp boil. This is a simple and delicious recipe, and you certainly don't need a deep fryer to do it. You can easily deep fry these in a dutch oven or whatever you usually use to deep fry. Deep fryer just makes things a little easier and can cut down on splatter.
We added a little too much liquid to ours, and it came out a little loose, but it's a very forgiving recipe. If it's too wet it might spread a bit more in the oil, but as you can see, even our fairly loose batter stuck together well and puffed up nicely as it cooked. They were delightfully light and fluffy inside and crisp and delicious on the outside.
Also, sorry for not labeling my video posts and wasting everyone's time.

Still, it's really no effort to label them. I get that a video loading in an otherwise mostly text and non graphical-intensive website can be trouble if you don't have reliable fast broadband.
