Hush puppies are a Southern delicacy and a staple of fish fries and seafood boils. These deep-fried balls of cornmeal batter are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a slightly sweet and savory flavor. Hush puppies are often served with tartar sauce or hot sauce, and they can also be added to soups and stews.
This article features two recipes for hush puppies: a traditional recipe and a baked version. The traditional recipe uses all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt, eggs, and milk. The batter is mixed together and then dropped into hot oil and fried until golden brown. The baked version uses the same ingredients, but the batter is baked in a muffin tin instead of being fried.
Both recipes are easy to follow and make delicious hush puppies. The traditional recipe is a bit more labor-intensive, but the fried hush puppies are crispy and flavorful. The baked version is a healthier option, and the hush puppies are still light and fluffy. No matter which recipe you choose, you're sure to enjoy these classic Southern treats.

BAKED HUSH PUPPIES
Here's a healthier alternative to the usual deep-fried hush puppies. I think these look like mini corn muffins, but they taste the way a hush puppy should. Originally from an August 1983 issue of Bon Apetit from "The Cook's Exchange Readers' Best Recipes".
