1 1/2 cups self rising yellow or white cornmeal
1/2 cup self rising flour
1 egg, beaten lightly
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup fat free buttermilk
Using a deep pot, preheat oil for frying to 375 degrees F.
Using a mixing bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the onion. In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk and egg. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until blended. Drop the batter, 1 teaspoon at a time, into the oil. Dip the spoon in a glass of water after each hush puppy is dropped in the oil. Fry until golden brown, turning the hush puppies during the cooking process.
