Southern Treat

I made this recipe to go with my French Fried Shrimp. There is something about a hush puppy that is the perfect combination to fried seafood.

Hush puppies are basically little fried balls of cornbread. The insides are soft and moist. The outsides are crisp.

I used a self rising cornmeal, which gave the hush puppies a very light feel. They were super airy!

The little bits of onion give the balls a little extra flavor. I think it would be grate with some diced up jalapeño as well.

Using the buttermilk gives the puppies a small amount of tartness.

Hush puppies are super simple to make, only take a few minutes to fry, and are absolutely delicious!
