Tips:
- For a spicier hush puppy, use more jalapeños or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be sure to heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the hush puppies. If the oil is too hot, the hush puppies will brown too quickly and be undercooked on the inside. If the oil is not hot enough, the hush puppies will absorb too much oil and be greasy.
- Serve the hush puppies immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces for hush puppies include tartar sauce, ranch dressing, and honey mustard.
