I've never been a hushpuppy fan but these were really great. A nice spicy kick that my 2 year old liked, also. I was worried they might be greasy but they turned out great and we even reheated them the next day in the oven and they stood up just fine. Next time, I will divide the recipe in half, it made an awful lot, even for the 6 of us. Next time I'lI read the servings better.

Although the flavour was great, the whole family found them VERY dry...I'll have to keep looking for our favourite hush puppy recipe

Great recipe! I had these with Cajun Catfish #7476. I couldn't find self-rising corn-meal, and I used regular flour instead, but they still came out great. I'm going to look for the self-rising in the future and see what difference it makes. Thanks for sharing!

I've never been able to find a hush puppy recipe that I was truly happy with...until now! These fried up crispy and packed just the right amount of heat. This will be my standard hush puppy recipe from now on. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

These were very very good, but a little bit dry compared to the hush puppies that I am use to. we loved the flavor, but next time I would add a bit more onion to mine, but that is to our tastes :-) We enjoyed them very much, and I thank you for posting this wonderful recipe.
