Hush Puppies image

Hush puppies are found on menus throughout the South and in many homes as well, an ace accompaniment to most of the region's meals. They are fritters, essentially: sweet cornmeal dough that is fried until golden brown. The recipe here comes from Craig Claiborne, the longtime food editor at The New York Times who was from Mississippi.

My hush puppies didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked, but they still tasted good. I think I might have needed to fry them for a little longer.

I followed the recipe exactly and my hush puppies turned out perfectly! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with honey butter and they were a huge hit.

These hush puppies were a bit too greasy for my taste, but they still had a good flavor.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of cornmeal, but I was pleasantly surprised! The hush puppies were light and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

I've tried many hush puppy recipes, but this one is definitely my favorite. The cornmeal gives them a wonderful crunch and the onions add a nice savory flavor.
