Bland. Recipe would be okay for cornbread muffins, but it is a stretch to call it hush puppies.

Looks like the Deen Brothers swiped this from a 1983 Bon Appetite recipe that Leslie in Texas posted on this site. Exactly the same recipe except the Deens put the onions in with the egg mixture instead of the corn meal mixture, and since they go together in the end . . .

I made this to go with dinner tonight but no one liked them. I used onion powder in the place of chopped onion. Made for 123 HITS Tag

I made these after watching the show. they were very easy and quite good, however, i thought they had too much onion flavor. will make them again - adding a little honey or sugar and omiting the onion.
