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!"
