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!
