Calabash Style Hush Puppies

Serve these hot with honey butter and be prepared to go, "MMM MMMMMM!"
(serves 6-8)

3/4 cup self rising flour
1 cup self rising corn meal (not a mix)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 small sweet onion, finely minced
1 pinch Johnny's Garlic Seasoning*
1 pinch onion powder
1 pinch Old Bay seasoning
1 T. sugar
3/4-1 cup buttermilk
Canola oil for frying

In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour and cornmeal. Add egg, onion, and spices. Add buttermilk and stir with a fork just until blended. Mixture should be fairly stiff. Add a little bit more buttermilk, if necessary. Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep pot to 375. Drop dough by teaspoons into hot oil and fry until hush puppies rise to the top and are golden brown. Remove from fryer and drain on paper towels.

"You are amazing just the way you are! Diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires are all brilliant. Sunrises and sunsets are both breathtaking. Roses and orchids are both spectacular, and every single star in the sky shines! Why compare yourself to anyone else? You are exquisite, rare, and beyond compare!"

Have FUN today!!!
