Hush Puppies

1 1/2 cup white corn meal
1/2 cup sifted flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup milk
1 beaten egg
3 tablespoons oil

Heat oil in a shallow pan. Mix dry ingredients. Add the onion, milk, and egg and mix until combined. Drop by tablespoons into the hot oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes, turning when each side becomes golden brown.

Melissa’s note: This is an incredibly small amount of oil for deep frying, so I would bet these are actually going to take about 2-3 minutes per side.
