I'm not a big fan of hush puppies, but these were really good. I liked the crispy outer layer and the fluffy inside.

These hush puppies were delicious! I served them with honey butter and they were the perfect side dish for my fried chicken.

These hush puppies were a bit bland for my taste. I think I might add some more spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my hush puppies turned out really oily. I think I might have added too much oil to the pan.

These hush puppies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might add a little more milk next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the hush puppies turned out perfectly. They were golden brown and crispy on the outside, and fluffy and moist on the inside. I highly recommend this recipe!
