Hush Puppies

Ingredients

• Peanut oil, cooking oil, or shortening for deep-fat frying
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 onion, cut up
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup self-rising cornmeal

Directions

Heat 2 inches peanut oil, cook oil or shortening in a heavy saucepan or deep-fat fryer to 375 degrees F. Meanwhile, combine eggs, sugar, and onions in a blender or food processor. Cover and blend or process until smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Stir in flour and cornmeal until well combined. Carefully, drop by rounded teaspoon into hot oil. Fry, about 4 at a time, in the hot oil or shortening for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 minutes or until golden, turning once. Drain hush puppies on paper towels. Keep warm in a 300 degree F oven while frying the remainder. Serve warm. Makes about 25 hush puppies.
