1 small onion

1-1/2 cups yellow cornmeal

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg

3/4 cup milk

fat for frying

Peel Onion and cut into 3 or 4 pieces. Lock bowl in position. Insert steel blade. Put in onion

and process until finely chopped. Remove steel blade and insert plastic blade. To onion

add cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, egg, and milk. Process just until all ingredients

are blended. Heat about 2 inches of fat or oil in a skillet until hot. Drop tablespoons of

batter in hot fat and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes. Serve at

once with butter. Yield: About 20 Note from me: The skillet works fine, but a deep fat fryer

works even better. This is the only hushpuppy my wife has cooked for the last 20 years and

I am not about to ask her to change it. I have not found a catfish restaurant in East Texas

that has a hushpuppy that can match the taste of this one.
