Recipe View 15 mins Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately and enjoy! (15 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try using buttermilk instead of regular milk.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the batter for a little kick.
Make sure your oil is at the correct temperature before frying. If the oil is not hot enough, the hush puppies will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
Serve with honey butter, tartar sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
