Justin Wilson's Hush Puppies

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Cups Cornmeal
Ground cayenne pepper
1 Cup Plain flour
2 Each Eggs, beaten
1 Teaspoon Baking powder
1 Cup Buttermilk
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup Green onion, finely chopped
1/2 Teaspoon Soda
2 Tablespoons Bacon drippings, hot
1/2 Cup Parsley, finely chopped
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic powder (to taste)
Deep fat for frying

Combine all dry ingredients. Add eggs, buttermilk, onions, and oil or bacon
drippings. Mix well. Drop in deep hot fat by spoonfuls and brown on all
sides. Now, I said above that this makes 48, I've never counted, so I don't
know for sure. But it sure does make a bunch.
The main reason why I said 48 is because the program, MenuMaster, won't let you
past that field unless you tell it something. Justin Wilson says, "Hush
puppy is an old Southern term that originated after the Civil War. People
didn't have enough for themselves to eat let alone feed their dogs, so when the
old hounds started barking from hunger, they would throw pieces of fried corn
bread to them, yelling, 'Shut up, dog! Hush puppy!"
