Hush Puppies

Hush Puppies

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 1/4 cups yellow corn meal
1 Tbsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp pepper if desired
1 - 15 oz can creamed corn
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
2 Tbsp melted butter or margarine
1/4 cup finely chopped onions

In a large bowl mix together all dry ingredients.  In smaller bowl mix together
the remaining ingredients. Add the wet mixture to the dry and mix thoroughly.
Mixture will be very thick. Heat oil in skillet or deep fryer to 375 degrees.
Using a teaspoon gently slide spoonfuls of mixture into the hot oil. Taking care
to hold the spoon close to the oil to prevent splashing the hot oil on you. When
mixture starts to stick to spoon, simply rinse in a cup of water. Gently stir at
least once to ensure even browning. Remove from oil when deep brown, it takes
approx. 3 minutes. Place on paper towels to drain.
