Skipper's hush puppies

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup White corn meal
4 teaspoons Baking powder
1 cup All-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Salt
2 Eggs; beaten
Buttermilk
2 larges Onions; chopped
1 can (12-oz) beer

Directions

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.
