Best Hush Puppies
Some years ago, when I was a cook on a large cattle ranch, I thought back to the hush puppies I’d had as a child on a southern trip. I created my own version of them for the ranchers. These go well as part of an old-fashioned fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy, buttermilk biscuits, corn on the cob and pickles! —Karyl Goodhart, Geraldine, Montana
