Hush Puppies

I love hush puppies but we all know they aren’t the best thing for you. But I saw this recipe in my google reader and the hush puppy craving came out in full force.

These did not disappoint, they are very yummy!!! I used my medium size cookie scoop to get the balls and that seemed a little big, next time I will use the small one.
