My dearly departed hero named Justeen Wilson couldn't cook his way out of a wet paper bag..but will say the boy had one of the best hush puppy recipes I ever tried. This is an old email thread whereas Joe Wells was passing the recipe off to Bill Arnold. Only thing I can gharantee is if you cook em right they the best you ever had.

Experimenting with some hush puppies today also. I
got to do about 1500 of them or so in about a week. I am going to try my
handy dandy mortar bag and see how fast I can whup them out!

Justin Wilsons Hush Puppies
Recipe By:
Serving Size: 48
Preparation Time: 0:00
Categories: Cajun
Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method
2 cups Cornmeal
1 Ground cayenne pepper
1 cup Plain flour
2 Eggs beaten
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1 cup Buttermilk
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Green onion finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon Soda
2 tablespoons Bacon drippings hot
1/2 cup Parsley finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder (to taste)
1 Deep fat for frying
Combine all dry ingredients. Add eggs, buttermilk, onions, and oil or
bacon drippings. Mix well. Drop in deep hot fat by spoonfuls and brown on
all sides. Now, I said above that this makes 48, I've never counted, so I
don't know for sure. But it sure does make a bunch. The main reason why I said 48 is because the program, MenuMaster, won't let you past that field unless you tell it something. Justin Wilson says, "Hush puppy is an old Southern term that originated after the Civil War. People didn't have
enough for themselves to eat let alone feed their dogs, so when the old
hounds started barking from hunger, they would throw pieces of fried corn bread to them, yelling, 'Shut up, dog! Hush puppy!" Shared by "Fred
