Recipe(tried): Hush Puppies

I walked away from the computer and started thinking that maybe what you are looking for is a recipe for Hush Puppies. Anyway, here is a recipe for them as well.

Hushpuppies from River Road Recipes published by The Junior League of Baton Rouge, Inc.

1 c. cornmeal
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1 c. flour
1 egg
3/4 c. milk
Dash of red pepper (cayenne)
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 Tbl. grated onion

Sift dry ingredients into bowl. Beat egg, add milk, and add this to cornmeal mixture. Add onion and red pepper. Drop by spoonsful in hot deep fat (375 degrees F) and fry until golden brown. Should you like a lot of crust, these may be patted flat. I usually get about 1 dozen hush puppies from this recipe but you might want to make them smaller.

"While there is a great deal of speculation as to the origin of hush puppies, there should be no speculation on the tastiness of these."
