Hush Puppies

Ingredients:
1½ Cups Cornmeal
1 Cup Flour
½ tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Salt
½ tsp Pepper
Pinch Cayenne Pepper
2 Eggs
1½ Cups Buttermilk
½ Bunch Thinly Sliced Spring Onions, white and green parts
Vegetable Oil, for frying

Method:

1. Mix together all the dry ingredients in a large bowl until well combined. Add the eggs and buttermilk and mix until batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
2. Stir in the green onion until well combined. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
3. While batter is resting, heat the oil. Drop batter into oil, using about 2 tablespoons for each hush puppy. Fry, turning with a slotted spoon until dark golden brown, 3-5 minutes.
4. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Keep warm on a wire rack in a pre-heated 100°C oven until ready to serve.

Makes about 20 hush puppies.
