Variations & Tips
For a twist on traditional hush puppies, try adding some chopped jalapeños or shredded cheese to the batter for extra flavor. You can also experiment with different spices, like smoked paprika or garlic powder, to suit your taste. If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitute by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for a few minutes. For a lighter version, you can bake the hush puppies in a muffin tin at 400°F for about 15 minutes instead of frying them.
