Fried food absorb oil-gagirl
I have always made good hush puppies until the last several years..Even using hush puppy mix. they absorb way too much grease and aren't eatable..I know that the oil is suppose to be real hot before dropping them in. The other week we were over at DH son's and I mentioned this to him and his brother in law while visiting..his BIL was a chef at one point ...and I said since I started using Olive oil I haven't been able to make good hushpuppies..He told me that Olive oil does not get as hot as it needs to, to fry them....and I got to thinking and that is what I had been cooking them in . So I went back to using Crisco Oil and now they are not greasy anymore. Seems the Olive oil can not get hot enough to fry something that needs a lot of heat
