Ingredients:

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup yellow cornmeal

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 large egg

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 cup minced onion

2 cups vegetable oil

Directions:

Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture. In another bowl stir together egg and buttermilk.

Add wet to dry ingredients. Stir until moistened. Stir in onion.

Pour oil into 10-inch cast iron skillet, and heat to 375°F. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into oil, and fry in batches 3 minutes on each side or until golden. If you have a tablespoon size ice cream scoop use that. I use one to keep all the hushpuppies the same size. Drain on papers towels….serve hot and enjoy!
