I don't know about Doug's recipe, but for a store bought mix, I
strongly suggest 'House of Autry'. It's excellent by itself, but I like to add some chopped jalapeno's. Their seafood breading mix is also very good. It's light and doesn't change the taste of fish from being overloaded with spices like other brands. If you do try 'House of Autry' hush puppy mix, I suggest you back off a wee bit from their suggestion of how much water to add. If you don't, it can be a bit to runny and is hard to get a decent shape on them as you scoop them into the oil. Since they cook so quick, you can snack on them as you're working hard at that fish-fry. :^) I understand your 'boo'boo' for not getting that recipe from your mom, but I was wondering if you had any old cookbooks of hers or if another family member might. It's just possible she wrote that recipe down before she had it committed to memory. -JimL JohnH wrote: When I was a kid, my dad would take me fishing at one of the fresh water lakes in Puerto Rico.

They were the best hp's I've ever had, and I've not been able to duplicate them. I can't even come close! Question: Who has a fantastic hush puppy recipe? Next, what is the recipe. My mom died several years ago, and one of my biggest boo-boos was my failure to get that recipe. Help! John On the 'Poco Loco' out of Deale, MD |

Doesn't do me any good at all. I say hush to my puppy all the time
but it does not work. JohnH wrote: When I was a kid, my dad would take me fishing at one of the fresh water lakes in Puerto Rico.

If she cooked like my grandmother (an AL farm gal) did, it's doubtful...'cuz Grandma was a "pinch of this" and a "handful of that" cook. One of my uncles was determined to get her "recipe" for cornbread (REAL southern cornbread, not the gawdawful stuff that most yankees and city folk eat that isn't even close)...the only way to do it was by following her around the kitchen each time he was around when she made it, grabbing and measuring her pinches and handfuls till he came up with the average amounts. Then he'd make some to find out how close it was to hers. It took him several years of doing that, but he finally nailed it and then gave the recipe to everyone in the family.
