“Hush, Puppy!”
Where did the hush puppy get its name?
One story is that men often took their dogs along when they wentfishing. As the men fried the fish thecaught, the dogs got hungry and started barking. To quiet them, the men fried cornmeal batterwithout any fish in it and fed it to the dogs, saying, “Hush, puppy!”Quote from Addy’s Cookbook
Ingredients:
1 small onion – chopped fine1½ cups cornmeal½ cup flour1 tablespoon baking powder½ tsp. salt1 egg3//4 cup milkOil for frying

Crack the egg into a medium mixing bowl and beat it with afork until it is well mixed.
Add the onion pieces and milk to the egg and mix well.
Stir the egg, milk, and onion pieces into the cornmeal andflour mixture.
Place about 2-3 inches of oil in a deep-fat fryer or skilletover medium-high heat.
When the oil is hot, carefully drop the batter into the pan.Use one heaping teaspoon of batter for each hush puppy. You may fry 5-6 hush puppies at once.
The hush puppies will sink into the hot oil. Then they will rise to the top. After 1-2 minutes, the hush puppies will begolden brown.
