Bob Garner s Hushpuppies

Anonymous Tue May 23 19:33:56 2006

3 cups self-rising white cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 medium onion -- chopped fine

2-1/4 cups buttermilk

2 tablespoon bacon drippings

Combine dry ingredients. Add buttermilk and bacon drippings, stir until well blended. Pour

about four inches of peanut oil into a frying skillet or deep fryer and heat to 350F. Spread

batter evenly, 1/2 inch thick, on flat surface of a pancake turner. With a knife, push 1/2 inch

wide segments of batter into the hot oil, cooking only a few at a time. When hush puppies

float, turn them so they brown evenly. Drain on paper towels.
