Notes
- Today’s recipe is sponsored by the wonderful people over at Old El Paso™.
- Use a cookie scoop (small ice cream scoop) to form the perfect hushpuppies. Be sure to taste the first fried hushpuppy to ensure it is cooked through and salted to your liking.
- To store Beer Battered Hushpuppies, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
- To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes until crispy and heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy. If reheating from frozen, add a few extra minutes to the oven time.
