Yield: 6 Servings
Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
1 cup | White corn meal |
4 teaspoons | Baking powder |
1 cup | All-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons | Salt |
2 \N | Eggs; beaten |
\N \N | Buttermilk |
2 larges | Onions; chopped |
1 can | (12-oz) beer |
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix beaten eggs with ¼ 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 370ø. The batter should sink, then slowly rise and turn over. Fry until golden brown all over. Yield: 6 servings.
