Bob Garner's Hush Puppies

Recipe Ingredients

3 cups	187g / 6.6oz	Self-rising white cornmeal
1 cup	62g / 2.2oz	All-purpose flour
1 tablespoon	15ml	Sugar
1 teaspoon	5ml	Baking powder
1 teaspoon	5ml	Onion - chopped fine (medium)
2 1/4 cups	533ml	Buttermilk
2 tablespoons	30ml	Bacon drippings

Recipe Instructions

Combine dry ingredients. Add buttermilk and bacon drippings, stir until well blended. Pour about four inches of peanut oil into a frying skillet or deep fryer and heat to 350F.

Spread batter evenly, 1/2 inch thick, on flat surface of a pancake turner.

With a knife, push 1/2 inch wide segments of batter into the hot oil, cooking only a few at a time.

When hush puppies float, turn them so they brown evenly. Drain on paper towels.
