Hush Puppies
(Yields 2 ½ dozen)
Ingredients:
1 ¾ cup yellow corn meal
2 cups sifted flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1-cup cream style corn
1 average green pepper
2 Tbsp minced chives, if desired
1 large egg
1-cup milk
Deep fat for frying
Directions:
Sift together the corn meal, flour, baking powder and salt. If used, add the minced chives and pepper. In a medium sized mixing bowl, beat egg until yolk and white are combined; beat in milk to combine. Add sifted dry ingredients, stirring lightly until moistened, add corn. (Batter thickens quickly after mixing.) Drop a heaping teaspoonful of batter for each hush puppy into hot deep fat. Fry only a few at a time, until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes, turning once. (Do not pierce with fork when turning.) Drain on paper towels.
