I copied a recipe for sweet Hushpuppies posted on this forum by Patrish, a couple of years ago. That recipe is not here anymore and I seem to have misplaced my copy . It has been requested for me to once again supply the Hushpuppie batter for an upcoming fish fry. So, Patrish, If you can find the time and would not mind sharing again, I would greatly appreciate it if you would post that recipe again.
