1 c White corn meal
4 ts Baking powder
1 c All-purpose flour
2 ts Salt
2 Eggs; beaten
Buttermilk
2 lg Onions; chopped
1 cn (12-oz) beer
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix beaten eggs with 1/4 cup of the
buttermilk and blend into the dry ingredients, adding more buttermilk to
barely moisten the mixture. Add the beer to make a thick, soupy,
pancake-like batter. (Skipper says it will take less than a can. The cook
drinks the leftover to avoid waste.) Stir in the chopped onions. Drop the
hush puppies from a Tablespoon into fat heated to about 370?. The batter
should sink, then slowly rise and turn over. Fry until golden brown all
over. Yield: 6 servings.
