Oh my goodness, I didn’t know what a hush puppy was until I read your post and now I want to make them so badly! I love cornmeal – polenta is one of my weeknight go-to dishes – so I’m bookmarking your recipe for sure! Thanks so much!
I’m loving your recent love affair with southern soul food. I swear, I should have been born in the south, but the good Lord knows that I cannot deal well with the heat. That’s why he placed me in the north. LOL I remember every Sunday after church, my family would go to a seafood restaurant for lunch and they served hush puppies. Now, after all these years, I can make them myself.
Hush puppies remind me of my childhood and all the fish my mom used to fry. These homemade hush puppies look like perfection. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
I like it when the appetizers are crispy on the outside and soft inside – it makes them particularly delicious when dipped into my favorite sauce, yummy!
Delicious! Our 9 year old wanted hush puppies with his ribs and creamed corn for his bday dinner. He likes sweeter cornbread, so this was a perfect recipe. I omitted the onions and doubled the recipe. They came out light, fluffy, and delicious. Thanks for the great recipe. This will be added to my regular rotation!
Awww happy belated birthday to y’all little man!!! I hope he enjoyed them! I’ve never made it without onions but now that you mentioned it, I’m going to try it this weekend. You’re welcome Maressa! Thanks for the great feedback!
Being from the south and an avid hushpuppy eater.. I can say, without doubt, this is an almost foolproof recipe. Almost identical to the one I have used for years. You’re correct in allowing the batter to sit for a bit. I put mine in the fridge for 30 – 60 minutes. Also, I have found they can be reheated, in the oven, with good results. (Single layer, on sheet pan, preheated to 400 degrees for about 5 minutes).
I just want to let you know that I made your hushpuppy recipe and it was perfect. I grew up in Florida and my favorite restaurant was The Catfish Place and their hushpuppy were the best. Mine turned out exactly like them. I fried some gator and the hushpuppy…yummy. Thank you so much for the recipe.
I would love to try these! I would love to try a real Southern bbq in general really. I might have to collect a few recipes and start making my own Southern bbq here in Norway. And you’ve got so many delicious looking of them, so thank you for that!
Being from Houston, I grew up eating hushpuppies a lot, but you can’t find them often in Denver. I’m so excited to run into this recipe because now I can feed that craving at home! These look perfect — just like I remember them. Thanks for sharing!
hushpuppies are definitely a weakness of mine. these look like absolute perfection too. it brings back memories of eating them with a basket of fried seafood on the eastern shore 🙂
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of hush puppies in the food sense, but now you’ve made me want to sample them for myself!
I’ve never made hush puppies before but I sure love eating them. Excited to give your recipe a spin so I can devour them all!
I LOVE hush puppies, but I am so terrified of cooking with hot oil!! I guess I will need to get over that fear, because this looks amazing!

Thank you Kathryn! I’ll have to try to reheat them next time. That’s if we have leftovers which is pretty rare.

I hope you give them a try! Thank you so much Amanda!
Fried goodness! This recipe turned out way better than the hush puppies I made three summers ago. Addictive.
Thank you so much Cameron! 🙂
I have NEVER made hush puppies but you better believe I will be after wiping the drool off my chin! These sound incredible girl!
Thank you so much Melissa! They are crazy good!
My family LOVED these hush puppies! One recipe fed our family of about18 with no leftovers whatsoever. Dad said “You need to make these again!”

I have to admit, I have never heard of these before but they look amazing! Cannot wait to try and make them
They are amazing Karyn. Hope you can try them!
