SOUTHERN HUSH PUPPIES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy skillet (about 2- 2 1/2 inches of oil) until hot.
• Beat the egg and then mix in the remaining ingredients.
• Make sure that your dry ingredients are all moist.
• Using a tablespoon, drop balls of batter into the hot oil, about 2 inches long by 1 inch thick.
• NOTE: I usually only cook about 4 or 5 at a time.
• These should float in the hot oil, but not be covered by it.
• You will need to turn these as they cook.
• Fry until they are a golden brown and then drain them on paper towels.
• Serve with fish- of course!
