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.
1/2 cup butter 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 3 tablespoons water 1/2 cup nuts 1 cup sugar 2 eggs, beaten 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 well ripened bananas
Mix together and pour into a greased and floured loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 1 hour.
A friend had some better instructions, so I am moving them up from Comments. Eventually, I will re-write the recipe here, but until then… Patch August 25, 2019 at 3:05 pm | Edit | Reply I think Grandma was leaving out all the instructions she knew to do, like I did when I was copying down 23 different banana bread recipes or whatever it ended up being. 😀 (And when I was developing a new muffin recipe, or an applesauce bread recipe, etc, I just wrote down ingredients and skipped all the instructions. My grandchildren will despair! Hahahah.) Read the ingredients by rows instead of columns, and then it’s more clear: butter and sugar go together, because they’re creamed together. Then you add the vanilla and the eggs. It works best to combine the dry ingredients (the next 4 things) in a separate bowl so that they’re well distributed when the dry and the wet come together. Not sure why the water and bananas are last, I normally add bananas after eggs. Not sure if it will change texture or consistency, or not.
