These are not bad puppies, but I found the batter to be too dry even after mixing more than I dared to mix. The buttermilk should be increased to at least three fourths cup and maybe add another egg. Of the puppies that did come out, the flavor was good and the texture was lighter than I am used to in a puppy.
