Best Hush Puppies
Some years ago, I was a cook on a large cattle ranch. One day, I thought back to the hush puppies I'd had as a child on a Southern trip, and I ended up creating my own version of them. They go well as part of an old-fashioned fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy, buttermilk biscuits, corn on the cob and watermelon pickles! My husband is a farmer and also a truck driver. We have two grown children and two younger ones, 6 and 2.

Well I just finished fixing the batter I want to surprise my daughter when she comes home from work I'm covered and put it in the refrigerator until she comes home so when I cook that with some nice red snappers I do hope it comes out well it looks great as a batter but I'll let you guys know if I want to star myself
Great taste, just needed to be a little firmer. I loved the corn in it....I will make it again.
This was a good recipe and our first time trying making hush puppies. I like them a bit more dense, but this could be resolved with a true fryer. We also added chives to the recipe which was a great addition.
