Hush Puppies (from Foxfire)

Ingredients:

• 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 more, as needed
• 1 medium onion -- chopped
• oil for deep frying

Instructions:





Sift together flour, cornmeal, salt, and soda. Add the beaten 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.
