Hushpuppies

• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/8 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 3/4 cup self-rising flour
• 1/4 cup diced onion
• 1-2 tablespoons milk to thin batter
• Oil of your choice, for deep fat frying

1. Fill a heavy pan with several inches of oil. Heat oil to 350 degrees. Use a deep fat/candy thermometer for this. It is important that your oil be at the correct temperature so that your hushpuppies will be cooked in the center before getting too brown on the outside.
2. Mix eggs, sugar, salt and onion in a small bowl. In another bowl mix the cornmeal and flour together. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingedients, mixing well. Add milk, if needed, to thin mixture to resemble thick cake batter.
3. When your oil has reached proper temperature, use a small ice cream scoop to drop balls of batter into oil. Do not crowd the pan. They should be round balls. It is interesting to watch them turn in the oil!
4. When your hushpuppies have achieved a medium golden brown crust, remove them to a paper lined plate. Enjoy immediately.
