- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup self rising flour
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 to 1 tsp cajun seasoning (I used Slap Yo Mama)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp grated onion and the juices
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 tbsp butter
- oil for frying
Combine all of the ingredients except the boiling water and butter. Bring the water to a boil with the butter and add to the dry ingredients. Stir to combine. The batter will be kind of wet. Heat the oil in a skillet to medium-high and drop the hush puppies by teaspoon or tablespoon into the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on the first side, flip and cook until browned completely. I cook these at medium high instead of high heat because they will be doughy if you brown them to fast. Serve as an appetizer, with fried fish or just a snack. Don't forget to slather them in butter!
