2 c. self-rising cornmeal
1 sm. onion (finely chopped)
3/4 c. milk
1 egg (slightly beaten)
vegetable oil or shortening

Combine cornmeal and onion; add milk and egg, stirring well. Carefully drop batter by tablespoonfuls into deep hot oil (370 degrees); cook only a few at a time, turning once. Fry until hush puppies are golden brown (3 to 5 minutes.) Drain well on absorbent towels. Makes 2 dozen.
