Reviews
The most fluffy hushpuppy recipe that I have cooked. I add minced jalapeños as well.
This has to be the best hushpuppy recipe ever! So tasty! I only wish the lemon-herb recipe was included…I bet that would take these over the moon!
Love it!!!!!!!!
Wow, I just made them today and they were awesome!! I doubled the recipe since I had guests coming over. I also added some diced jalapeno which really kicked up the flavor. I had read some other recipes which added more sugar, but these were just the right balance of sweetness without being overpowering. Thanks Ayesha!!
Easy to make! My brother in law who happens to dislike Hush puppies, loved this recipe!
WOW… First time making hush puppies and they were great I didn’t have buttermilk so I used half a cup of real milk with a tablespoon of vinegar it turned out great
LOVE THE RECIPE. BUT, WHERE IS THE RECIPE FOR THE LEMON HERB BUTTER??
What is the sauce on the side. There is no “watch” setting for her recipe and I did not tape it ahead of time. Could you share it? Love my instant pot as well!!
