Recipe: Hush Puppies

Hush Puppies

2 cups sifted fine, stone or water ground white corn meal
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 tablespoon baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon minced yellow onion
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
4 - 5 tablespoons cold water

Stir corn meal, sugar, soda and salt together. Place onion in a small
bowl. Add egg, buttermilk and beat until frothy. Pour all at once into
the meal and stir lightly to mix. Add just enough of the cold water to
make dough a good dropping. Fry in a deep fat fryer for about 2
minutes or until evenly browned.
Makes about 2 dozen.
