"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

• This is an excellent recipe, and I made these this evening. Its not mentioned here explicitly, but I heated my oil to about 325 deg F before adding the hush puppies. I then fried them about 2 minutes before flipping them over for another 2 minutes until they were a proper brown color. The crispiness of these hush puppies are unmatched and I would recommend this recipe to anyone.

• I legitimately just registered for this page just so I could leave a comment! So happy to find this recipe. My father just handed over his grandmother’s hand written recipe, missing crucial instructions, for her burnt sugar cake for me to try to bake for him. I also cruised through Pinterest to see if I could find one similar in order to get a better idea of how to do it. Yours is the first out of many that called for separating the eggs and folding in the beaten whites and also the specific use of the same syrup pan to make the icing!. I will use my great grandma’s measurements and your instructions. Thanks so much - really excited to try it out now!.

• Reading this post makes my mouth water.This was a family favorite when my grandmother was alive. The rule in her kitchen was the sugar needs to smoke-- so yes, we literally burn it... and keep a close eye on it. I'm inspired to include this in our staff baking contest tomorrow. Off to the kitchen!!
