    Good recipe for hushpuppies. I served them with melted red pepper jelly just like Blue Smoke in NYC! I think it is better than the sauce included in the recipe.

    These were off the hook, best hushpuppies I've ever had. I added a little more cheddar and left out the jalapeno because I didn't have any. Great!

    Very good! I'm not a big fan of hushpuppies but I really enjoyed these. They were light, fluffy, & little spicy.
