Hush Puppies (from Foxfire)
Recipe From : The Foxfire Book of Appalachian Cookery
Serving Size : 10
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk -- or as needed
- 1 medium onion -- chopped
- fat -- for deep frying
Sift together flour, cornmeal, salt, and soda. Add egg and buttermilk
until it's the right consistency to hold its shape when rolled
into a ball. Mix in onion, then roll into balls about 1 to 2 inches
across and drop in deep hot fat. Fry until they're brown and crispy.
Let them drain a bit on some paper and serve hot.
