SOUTHERN HUSH PUPPIES

INGREDIENTS
1 quart peanut oil, for frying hush puppies
2 cups white cornmeal
1 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsps sugar
1 1/2 tsps. salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 small onion, finely minced
1 egg, beaten

DIRECTIONS
In a deep-fat fryer, preheat oil to 375 degrees.

Combine all the other ingredients, adding the egg last. Mix well and drop, one tablespoonful at a time, into the hot fat. Do not overcrowd.

When done, in about 3 minutes, the hush puppies will turn golden brown and float to the top. Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon or tongs and rain thoroughly on paper towels.

Serve the hush puppies warm.
