Stagecoach Hush Puppies

Submitted by CandyTX

"No egg or milk in this because this is how they were made while "on the trail". I got this from a recipe book from a museum we visited recently. Made them and they were pretty good! A little thick, definitely not fluffy!"

Really love how authentic these are and they taste wonderful. I went to a certain Stagecoach Inn many times when I lived in Texas, wonderful food and these taste really good. I think boiling the water like when you are making polenta is the key here. Really turned out great. Thanks for posting.

These were fair. Consistency was okay but flavor was definitely lacking.

Yummy, Crunchy Goodness. Just found out, no dairy for me. I added chopped onion to the water. I believe my Daddy would approve.
