Southern Hush Puppies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    vegetable oil
    1 1/2 cups white cornmeal
    1/3 cup flour
    2 tablespoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    3/4 cup milk
    1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
    1 egg
Preparation
    Heat oil in a heavy skillet (about 2- 2 1/2 inches of oil) until hot.
    Beat the egg and then mix in the remaining ingredients.
    Make sure that your dry ingredients are all moist.
    Using a tablespoon, drop balls of batter into the hot oil, about 2 inches long by 1 inch thick.
    NOTE: I usually only cook about 4 or 5 at a time.
    These should float in the hot oil, but not be covered by it.
    You will need to turn these as they cook.
    Fry until they are a golden brown and then drain them on paper towels.
    Serve with fish- of course!
