Hush Puppies

Ingredients:

1 cup self-rising white cornmeal
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk, more or less
1 to 2 tablespoons green onion, minced
dash hot pepper sauce (optional)
pepper or garlic powder, if desired

 

Direction:

Mix together the cornmeal and flour with the salt and sugar.

Blend in the egg and add enough buttermilk to make a thick batter that will drop slowly but easily from a spoon.

Toss in any green onion and other optional ingredients you want, then drop teaspoonfuls into fat (about 375 degrees) at least 3 inches deep.

Fry until golden and drain on paper towels. Keep warm in a low (150 degrees) oven until ready to serve.
