Hushpuppies

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

oil for deep frying
1-1/4 cup yellow corn meal
1/2 cup flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 pinch of salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 small onion, finely diced
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup whole kernel corn
1/4 cup sliced green onions

Procedure:

In a home style deep fryer, such as a Fry Daddy, heat oil according to manufacturer's directions. In a large bowl, combine corn meal, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well blended. Add diced onion, egg, milk, corn, and sliced green onions. Continue to mix until all ingredients are well blended. The batter should be smooth and free of any lumps. Using a soup spoon or a small ice cream scoop, dip one hushpuppy and deep fry as a sampler. The hushpuppy will be done when it floats and is golden brown. Correct seasonings and cooking time, if necessary. Continue to fry until all are done.

Yield: 15-20 Hushpuppies
