R & L’s Hush Puppies

  • 1 cup self rising corn meal
  • 1/2 cup self rising flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 egg
  • Pepper to suit your taste
  • Buttermilk to make the right consistency


Heat cooking oil (peanut is good, but canola ok too) to about 350,
Using two spoons, dip the mix with one spoon and cut it into the oil with the other spoon.

Stir them so they’ll turn over and cook both sides.

If the oil is too hot they will cook on the outside and be mushy on the inside. Grandddaddy doesn’t like that.

Dad also had the idea to make the mix a little thinner with buttermilk than your hushpuppies for the the zucchini fries.
