1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal mix
1/2 cup of self-rising flour
1 teaspoon of Lawry's Seasoning Salt
1 teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup buttermilk
2 Tablespoons bacon grease (you can use vegetable oil here but the bacon grease gives it such a wonderful flavor)
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
Oil for deep frying

Heat oil to 350° F.
Mix together the first 5 ingredients.
Add the eggs and buttermilk until mix until well blended.
When the oil is ready, drop the hush puppies in by rounded tablespoons. Flip them over after they begin to brown on the first side. Allow them to brown on all sides flipping several times. Be careful not to overcook them.

**Note: If you like your hush puppies sweet, add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the batter.

Oh, Mama...Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with me. Those are just the most beautiful Hush Puppies I've ever seen! Now I've got to coerce Ian into making a "mess" of his sensational fish and chips, haul out the malt vinigar and make these. Hopefully, mine will come even halfway close to what you made! :thumb::thumb:
