Spicy Pickle Hush Puppies have a little kick and taste amazing dipped in a cool and creamy White BBQ Sauce.

Pickles are one of the most under-utilized ingredients in the kitchen. They add awesome flavor to foods. This Dill Pickle Meatloaf is to die for as is this Pickle-Brined Grilled Chicken.

Texture

These Hush Puppies are crispy on the outside with a soft interior studded with diced dill pickles. Equal parts flour and cornmeal produce hush puppies that are wonderfully tender but still have plenty of cornmeal flavor.

Flavor

The finely diced dill pickles add a little zip to these hush puppies and some crushed red pepper flakes add some spice.

Substitute For ButtermilkIf you don’t have any buttermilk, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to one scant cup of milk. Stir and then let sit for 5 minutes.
How To Serve

These Hush Puppies taste great on their own but even better with a white bbq sauce. The bbq sauce is an easy mixture of mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, horseradish, Creole seasoning, and black pepper. It only takes minutes to make and has a nice zip to it.

Spicy Pickle Hush Puppies Recipe Tips

Do NOT overmix the batter. It’s ok if it has a few lumps in it.

Keep the first batch of hush puppies warm in a 200 degree oven while you fry the remaining hush puppies.
