I figure folks who have been making hush puppies for the past couple of hundred years didn't have special tools.
How do you make your fritters, Timothy?
No secret recipe here, Zhizara! I make regular cornbread mix with slightly less milk and then add cooled, cooked and crumbled spicy sausage and shredded cheese to the mix. Then just drop it by spoonfuls into hot oil until browned nicely.
I mix black pepper and butter together and serve it with the fritters.
Thanks!!! I've wanted to make fritters for a long time, since Mrs. Paul's corn fritters were available in the freezer section many, many years ago. They were soooo good, but they stopped making them.
It's nice to know of an easy way to make hush puppies too. A neighbor lady used to make them with tiny bits of onion when I was a kid. They were really good.
I always have some Jiffy cornbread mix on hand.
