Ingredients:
6 cups peanut oil
1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg, lightly beaten
Directions:
Using a deep pot, preheat oil for frying to 350 degrees F.
Using a mixing bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, baking
soda, and salt. Stir in the onion. In a small bowl, stir together the
buttermilk and egg. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients
and mix until blended. Drop the batter, 1 teaspoon at a time, into the
oil. Dip the spoon in a glass of water after each hushpuppy is dropped
in the oil. Fry until golden brown, turning the hushpuppies during the
cooking process.
