These delectable little balls of fried seasoned cornbread are incredibly
addictive. Be careful; it's easy to fill up on these!
- 2 cups yellow corn meal
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Boiling water
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- Oil for frying
Heat oil in deep skillet or fryer to 375°F.
Mix all dry ingredients except the baking powder. Pour in enough hot
water to make a thick mush, making sure all ingredients are moistened.
Add milk, egg and baking powder and mix thoroughly.
Drop by spoonfuls (or use a small ice cream scoop) into oil, and fry until
golden brown.
Marvelous with fish or shellfish. Fried catfish and hush puppies are a
particularly classic combination.
