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.
