Susan'S Hush Puppies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 c. milk or 1/4 to 1/2 c. buttermilk
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 c. self-rising flour
1/2 c. self-rising corn meal mix
1/2 large onion, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten
cooking oil

Preparation

Mix milk and lemon juice together and set aside for 5 to 10 minutes to sour; add egg and beat well.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, corn meal mix and onion, mixing well.
Add only enough of the milk mixture to moisten the dry ingredients; the batter should be thick (don't overmix).
Allow batter to stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Using a small spoon, drop batter into hot oil, rinsing the spoon in between the drops of batter in a glass of cold water.
Avoid stirring the batter.
Cook until medium brown and floating.
Makes 1 dozen hush puppies.
