I love hush puppies anytime of the year, but Christmas time I add extra ingredients just to be festive. Great as an appetizer, snack or with chili, stews or soups.

Notes """
10

Any seasoning, cheese or add in you like you can substitute in this. Some ideas are bacon cheddar, jalapenos, pepper jack, mozarella. The possibilities are endless. I hope you enjoy 😘
11

Add the buttermilk right before oil is hot enough to start dropping batter in. If you mix it in to soon, it activates the levening and you want to do that with the hot oil not buttermilk. These are so light and fluffy if you do this step.
