Recipe - North Carolina Hush Puppies

1 cup Corn meal
One fourth teaspoon Soda
1 tablespoon Flour
One fourth teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Sugar
One half cup Buttermilk; *note
One fourth cup 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, substitute One half 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., One fourth c. finely chopped onion, less sugar, etc. But, at the coast of NC
the above type recipe is usually served. Judy Garnett, pjxg05a, Raleigh,NC
