Notes
-You can add different ingredients to customize the flavor of your hush puppies. Try adding some fresh herbs such as dill or parsley, spices like garlic powder, or even cheese for a cheesy twist.
-For an extra crunchy texture, try adding some crushed crackers to the mix.
-If you’re in a time crunch, you can also bake the hush puppies in the oven. Preheat oven to 400°F and bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
-Make sure you cook the hush puppies in batches to ensure even cooking.
-Allow the hush puppies to cool slightly before serving so they don’t fall apart.
