About Fried hush puppies
Fried hush puppies are a beloved Southern side dish made from a simple cornmeal-based batter mixed with flour, eggs, milk or buttermilk, and seasonings like salt, sugar, and onion powder. Often dotted with chopped onions or jalapeños, the batter is shaped into small balls or oblong pieces and deep-fried to a golden brown. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, hush puppies are typically served alongside fried fish, barbecue, or other comfort foods. While they provide energy from their carbohydrate content, they are high in calories and fat due to the frying process. With minimal fiber and protein, hush puppies are best enjoyed in moderation. Originating in Southern U.S. cuisine, they reflect the region's rich tradition of hearty, flavorful dishes but should be balanced with nutrient-rich sides for a healthier meal.
