Buttermilk Hush Puppies

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
shortening or oil for deep frying

Heat 2 to 3 inches of shortening or oil to 365 degrees in deep fryer or deep saucepan.

Combine cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and salt in large bowl. Stir in buttermilk, egg, and onion. Mix well.

Drop by teaspoonfuls, a few at a time, into shortening or oil. Fry 2 minutes or until dark golden brown. Turn as needed for even browning. Remove with slotted metal spoon. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

Note: You can substitute self-rising cornmeal mix for the cornmeal, salt, and baking soda.

Makes 8 servings.
