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! -Karyl Goodhart, Geraldine, Montana

TRUE SOUTHERN HUSH PUPPIES
I spent many a night at "Henry's Fish and Grill", one of the top restaurants in Mississippi, and had these wonderful hush puppies with fresh caught bass that we would catch and the chef so graciously prepared. It wasn't until my cousin married one of the chefs that I ever got the recipe. I never gave it out, but now they are sadly no longer there and I want to pass on this beautiful recipe. I hope you enjoy it--and Chef Henry, this is your recipe.

Steps:
- Mix all together and drop in hot oil by teaspoonfuls drain on paper.
Tips:
- Use cold beer or buttermilk: The carbonation in the beer or buttermilk helps the hush puppies to rise and become light and fluffy.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the hush puppies tough.
- Fry the hush puppies in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when you drop the hush puppies in.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Overcrowding the pan will prevent the hush puppies from cooking evenly.
- Serve the hush puppies hot: Hush puppies are best served hot out of the fryer with your favorite dipping sauce.
