Ingredients

1 c. white corn meal (water ground)
1/2 c. flour
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 to 1 c. milk
1 Tbsp. grated onion

Preparation

Rub bowl with garlic.
Place corn meal, flour, baking powder and salt in bowl.
Add eggs and enough milk to make a stiff batter.
Add onion and mix well. Cover bowl and place in refrigerator until batter becomes spongy.
Heat shortening to 375\u00b0.
Drop batter from a tablespoon and fry 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on absorbent paper.
The large amount of baking powder gives a puff ball lightness.
Don't use self-rising flour or corn meal. If
you do, cut amount of baking powder.
