Directions

Sorghum Bourbon Glaze

  • 1

    Combine the sorghum, bourbon and vinegar in a small sauce pan and reduce until thick, about 10-14 minutes.

  • 2

    Set aside until finished frying the duck puppies.

Duck Puppies

  • 1

    Combine cornmeal, self-rising flour, baking soda, salt and sugar in a bowl.

  • 2

    In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk and egg. Use a wire whisk to mix together until well incorporated.

  • 3

    Fold the dry ingredients into the buttermilk-egg mixture, gently stirring until a dough is formed.

  • 4

    Use a 1- or 2-ounce scoop to portion dough and roll into balls. Press an indent into the middle of each ball with your thumb, making a hole. Fill each hole with the chopped duck confit meat, and then shape the dough over the hole. This makes 12-16 pieces.

    In a deep fryer preheated to 325 degrees F, fry the duck puppies for 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately.

Plating

    Use mini plastic injectors and fill them with the sorghum glaze. Insert into the puppies to inject the glaze. For family style, sorghum glaze can be served as a dipping sauce. Serve in small basket with liner or decorative bowl.
