Whether you’re hosting a fish fry or a shrimp boil, be sure to serve fresh fried, golden Hush Puppies! They’re yummy, crunchy cornmeal bites!
Hush Puppies are the perfect poppable bites of slightly sweet cornbread that balance the salty richness of BBQs and Fish Frys! Bring out your flour, cornmeal, other pantry staples, buttermilk, eggs, and high-temperature oil to make the best Hush Puppies for your next fish night!
I’m sure you’ve heard the lore surrounding the name “Hush Puppies,” and often, this famous name is believed to have originated with either cooks, cattle drivers, or Civil War soldiers tossing fried cornbread to dogs or kids to get them to quiet down. Now, I don’t know about dogs, but my kids and I for sure won’t speak for at least five minutes when chowing down on these amazing Hush Puppies! Fried cornbread batter creates a great crispy breading with a fluffy middle that has just the right amount of sweetness to compliment all the heavy dishes served on the fish night or at a BBQ.
