Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -- -- --

1 c Corn meal

1/4 ts Soda

1 tb Flour

1/4 ts Salt

1 t Sugar

1/2 c Buttermilk -- *note

1/4 c Water

1 Egg -- beaten

Mix all dry ingredients together. Then add egg,

buttermilk, and water. Drop by spoonful into hot deep

fat. Fry to a golden brown. (If a deep pot is used,

the hushpuppy will float to the top when done).

*NOTE: If you don't want to buy buttermilk,

1/2 c. milk with

1 T. lemon juice added.

Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes. It works just as

well. Please note: You can make variations of this

recipe in several ways: i.e., 1/4 c. finely chopped

onion, less sugar, etc. But, at the coast of NC the

above type recipe is usually served. Judy Garnett,
