Answer 2

Southern Hush Puppies

4-5 servings 20 min

vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups white cornmeal
1/3 cup flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
1 egg

Heat oil in a heavy skillet (about 2- 2 1/2 inches of oil) until hot.
Beat the egg and then mix in the remaining ingredients.
Make sure that your dry ingredients are all moist.
Using a tablespoon, drop balls of batter into the hot oil, about 2 inches long by 1 inch thick.
NOTE: I usually only cook about 4 or 5 at a time.
These should float in the hot oil, but not be covered by it.
You will need to turn these as they cook.
Fry until they are a golden brown and then drain them on paper towels.
Serve with fish- of course!

Answer 6

Hush Puppies

2 c. yellow corn meal
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 lg. finely chopped onion
2 eggs, well beaten
4 T. vegetable oil
Milk
Vegetable oil or other fat

To prepare, sift twice the corn meal, salt, black pepper and baking powder, second sifting into a medium bowl. Now add the eggs and oil; blend well with enough milk to make a stiff dough. Shape into small "fingers" about 3" long and less than 1" thick, or in small balls, about 1 to 1 1/2" in diameter.

Have the fat hot in your cast iron skillet; drop the hush puppies into it and let them cook till golden brown. Drain well and serve hot.
