HUSHPUPPIES

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal
1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 eggs
1-2 cups buttermilk
Oil for frying

Preparation

Combine cornmeal, flour, onion and eggs. Add 1 cup buttermilk, adding additional buttermilk to make mixture moist but not soupy. Heat 2 inches oil in a Dutch oven to 350 degrees. Drop by scant tablespoonfuls into hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Makes 6-8 servings. (WILLARD’S NOTE: Best if cooked in the hot grease you’ve just used to fry your catfish.)
