Recipe - One More Hushpuppy Recipe

1 cup Cornmeal
2 teaspoon Baking powder
One half teaspoon Salt
1 Onion, small to medium
1 Egg
One fourth cup Milk or water

From the cook book "Cross Creek Cookery" By Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
(1949)

She goes on to write that she was shown by a another cook to pat out the
dough and then poke a hole in it so that there would be more crispy crust
which she thought was good. She also noted that she had heard of people
adding corn but she believed if you added corn you could no longer call
them Hushpuppies. It was also made clear that beer could be used instead of
water or milk, however those that drank beer had little worth while
judgment as to what tasted good. Miss Rawlings personality pours out in her
writings. She must of been a force to reckon with at the Cross Creek
restaurant.
