Hushpuppies

I NEVER fry anything! Here are my reasons:
1. I've had friends and family catch their house on fire while doing it.
2. My cousin was badly burned while doing it.
3. It's fattening and clogs your arteries.

However, I made an exception a couple of months ago for my all-time favorite thing in the world - hushpuppies.  These are so good!  I did take every precaution I could think of.  I put them on the back burner, I used my handy screen cover while doing them and I tried to keep the oil at a simmer rather than rolling boil.  Anyway, all was safe and sound in the end. 

I used House Autry's mix for them - this is the best breading and mix according to my very Southern, Uncle Dick.
