Ingredients:

  • 1 cup self-rising white cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup self-rising flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk, more or less
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons green onion, minced
  • dash hot pepper sauce (optional)
  • pepper or garlic powder, if desired

Preparation:

Combine the cornmeal and flour with the salt and sugar. Blend in the egg and add enough buttermilk to make a thick batter that will drop slowly but easily from a spoon. Add any green onion and other optional ingredients you want, then drop teaspoonfuls into fat (about 375 degrees) at least 3 inches deep. Fry until golden and drain on paper towels. Keep warm in a low (150 degrees) oven until ready to serve.

"THESE HUSH PUPPIES WERE EASY TO MAKE AND SO LIGHT AND TASTY INSIDE. SOME RECIPES I'VE TRIED TURN OUT TOUGH, BLAND, OR CHEWY. I DID ADD A LITTLE MORE ONION, SOME CAJUN SEASONING AND 2 TABLESPOONS OF BACON GREASE TO THE BATTER! (BECAUSE THATS HOW MY GRANDMOTHER DID IT) EVERYONE FOUGHT OVER THEM SO I'LL HAVE TO DOUBLE IT NEXT TIME!"
