A Fistful of Dollars: Clint Eastwood's Hush Puppies
adapted from The Cookbook of the Stars, edited by The Motion Picture Mothers
makes about 25-30 puppies and about 3 cups of sauce
1/2 cup AP flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups corn meal
3/4 cup milk
canola oil, for deep-frying (or see note)
Mix dry ingredients and add onion. Combine eggs and milk, beat, and add dry ingredients. (Note: Mr. Eastwood suggests making them around a teaspoon in size, I found about a heaping tablespoon to work better.)
Deep-fry in hot oil. (Note: Mr. Eastwood suggests pairing this with fried fish and using the same oil you fried the fish in. This is a good idea.) Cook until golden brown. Drain oil on paper.
