Baked Hushpuppies
On the rare occasion that we go out for seafood, the hushpuppies are the first thing gone from mine and my husband’s plates. We love them! And what’s not to love about a fried piece of dough with onion and spices?! I’m not one for frying things at home though so I never considered making them until I found a recipe for a baked version.
These were very good although not really hushpuppy-like. They were more like cornbread muffins but I also have a deep love for cornbread so I’m not complaining. I made them two days in a row if that says anything. ;) They were excellent with fish and are a good alternative to the fried ones.

I have a love for deepr fried food. However, I am reluctant to do it at home because of the mess. Baking the hushpuppies sounds like a great idea!
