Food Processor Hushpuppies

Side Dishes

1 small onion
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
fat for frying

Peel Onion and cut into 3 or 4 pieces. Lock bowl in position. Insert steel blade. Put in onion and process until finely chopped. Remove steel blade and insert plastic blade. To onion add cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, egg, and milk. Process just until all ingredients are blended. Heat about 2 inches of fat or oil in a skillet until hot. Drop tablespoons of batter in hot fat and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes. Serve at once with butter. The skillet works fine, but a deep fat fryer works even better.
