Growing up in the south, fish and hush puppies are a staple. I've just recently gotten this recipe from my mother in law who owns a local restaurant. Letting the batter sit for a while before cooking will result in fluffier hush puppies.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 large onion, finely chopped (i usually use more than one, but i like onions!)
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
peanut oil (for frying)
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients.
2. Mix well.
3. Will be rather thick, but that's what you want.
4. Heat oil to 350°F.
5. Drop by spoonful into oil (it helps to have a glass of water on hand to dip the spoon into before dipping into batter. The batter will easily roll off the spoon).
6. Let fry for about 5-6 minute on each side.
7. Be sure to flip so that they brown evenly.
