1 medium onion chopped fine

2-1/4 cups buttermilk

Combine all dry ingredients. Add buttermilk and bacon drippings and stir mixture until well

blended. Pour about 4 inches of cooking oil into saucepan or deep fryer to 350F. With a

teaspoon, scoop some batter and with your finger slid it into the oil. As hush puppies float
