Bubba Gump Southern Hush Puppies
"These are really good hush puppies. This recipe is quite different than most recipes I have tried. The cream corn, cheese and jalapeno peppers really make these hush puppies special. I got this recipe from an old church cookbook I found one day in the attic."

I haven't tried this yet, I was just looking for a recipe for Hush Puppies with creamed corn and came across this. I have to giggle a little bit, wondering what old church the recipe came from. I realized I have a Bubba Gump cookbook, and lo and behold the exact same recipe almost word for word lol. Can't wait to try it. -
wow. Definitely too many for the 4 of us, but no one complained about taking them home. Light, not dense, flavorful and definitely going in my dinner party menu file. I'll use these with our seafood feeds and as a small, easy biscuit for the grandkids. I used chives instead of onions and it worked out great. Left out jalapenos, but putting them in next time. Great flexible recipe. Used 1 tsp baking powder for each cup of corn meal and flour, because I had no self rising in the pantry. -
These are sooo good and easy to make. I made medium size cakes (the size of crab cakes) and serve them with beans & rice. Wonderful! -
These were very good. I used regular flour and corn meal and that was a mistake. Use self-rising only. Great flavor.

I live in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas. I love to cook. When I am not busy being a nurse, I try to make homemade meals for my family. I collect cookbooks and all kinds of recipes from magazines and newspapers. Someday I would love to go to a culinary school to learn how to cook like the great chefs on t.v.
