Southern Hushpuppies
"Often served with fried fish, Hushpuppies are a classic southern side dish! According to legend, fishermen would fry up bits of the leftover cornbread batter from dinner and then give it to their dogs as a snack. “Hush, puppy” soon become hushpuppies. Some folks will tell you that the term actually came about in the Civil War when soldiers wanted to keep their dogs quiet. As with many such regional foods, the real origin is murky. And you know what? I’m ok with that. At the end of the day, hushpuppies are easy to make and quite delicious!"

I have made these in the past and they would not come out with much flavor. When I was a kid I used the recipe on the cornmeal package and they tasted great. I thought I was using the same ingredients and this recipe also looks like what I made. I will give it another try and see.
