• 1 quart vegetable oil, for frying hush puppies
• 1 cup white cornmeal
• 1 1/2 teaspoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 small onion, finely minced

In a deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees F. Sift together dry ingredients into a medium bowl; in a small bowl stir together buttermilk, egg and onion. Stir wet ingredients into dry; stirring to mix well but do not overbeat. Drop one tablespoon at a time into the hot oil. In about three minutes, the hush puppies will turn golden brown and float to the top. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm. Makes about 12 hush puppies.
