This recipe is great but I made two versions of this, one with the pepper and hot sauce and one without. The ones without the hot sauce and pepper tasted more like Southern puppies and tasted better. -
I read the instructions several times to see where I went wrong, and decided that I'd done it exactly as given here. We didn't really care for it at all (unanimous). I was looking for a hushpuppie recipe and this isn't hushpuppies. Sorry, but I'd expect honest critique on my recipe just the same. -
Thank you Margie for a wonderful recipe. I was called upon to make the Hughpuppies for my sons annual fishfry. My mother was unable to make them for him this year - and I couldn't find her recipe. So I went searching and found yours. It was the hit of the party! Linda -
This didn't exactly taste like any hushpuppy I've ever had before. But the flavors were so awesome, and they were gobbled up so fast I can't give it any less than 5 stars. More of a corn fritter I would say, atleast the way they turned out at my house. Super hit with the group I served them to. And really easy to make. I will make these again...whatever I decide to call them! Thanks for a keeper recipe. -
The is the BEST hushpuppy recipe I've ever tried. It's not easy to find a good hushpuppy recipe, or at least it didn't use to be. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Leah H.

I live in Louisiana and am the office manager for a plant nursery. Love to cook. My favorite cookbook is New Southern Living by Nathalie Dupree. If I had a month off I would finish testing all of my new recipes.
I have been testing quite a few of the new ones I have found on Recipezaar. There are a lot of great cooks here.
