Hush Puppies

Ingredients

• 2 cups yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large finely-chopped onion*
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Accent
• 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• Milk or buttermilk

Instructions

1. Mix first eight ingredients. When well mixed, add 1 beaten egg, then slowly add milk or buttermilk until the mixture is a thick mush.
2. Deep fry in hot fat heated to 360 degrees F. Drop a heaping tablespoon full of the batter at a time into the fat and fry until golden brown. Cook only a few at a time and let oil get hot again between batches.
3. Serve very hot with lots of butter.

Notes

* Scallions are good to use because the green color looks nice.

You can also add finely chopped bell pepper to this.
