Hush Puppies

These are a treat directly from the Southeastern United States. Typically served with any fried seafood meal (along with french fries and coleslaw), these are a yummy treat almost anytime!


Ingredients:

2 cup corn meal; self rising
1 small onion; finely chopped
3/4 cup milk
1 egg; slightly beaten
1 vegetable oil or shortening

  • Combine corn meal and onion, add milk and egg, stirring well.
  • Carefully drop batter by tablespoonfuls into deep hot oil, preheated to 370°F.
  • Cook only a few at a time, turning once during cooking process.
  • Fry until golden brown (approx 3 to 5 minutes).
  • Drain well on absorbent towel.
Yield about 2 dozen.

Note: If you are unable to find self-rising corn meal, substitute
1 cup corn bread mix (or 1 1/2 cup corn meal) and 1/2 cup self rising flour
