This recipe uses a fair amount of Baking Powder so check the date on your container.
Everyone thought they really were more like mini corn muffins than hush puppies, but good and so much better for you.
I use my 24 cup mini muffin pan and grease them well with Crisco. They took about ten minutes to put together and 15 minutes in the oven and no greasy mess from frying them. I use my 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to put them in the pan and that goes quite fast. I don't get quite get 24 so I put water in the three empty cups so my pan won't warp.
Folks, if you like hushpuppies this is a really good way to go. My grandson, who is my biggest hushpuppy fan gave them 2 thumbs up, so I make them often.

These look good, will give them a try, making beans and fried taters for tonight.
ReplyDeleteSherry, the beans and fried potatoes sound good.
DeleteThey look like mini mexican cornbread.
ReplyDeleteJR, They taste like that but not spicy. But hush puppies are cornbread just usually deep fried.
DeleteOh I bet those would go well with a big bowl of Chilli!
ReplyDeleteClare, they go good with chili and of course fish. Really we like them with navy bean soup the best. Just the right size.
