INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Cornmeal

¼ Cup Unbleached Flour

2 Teaspoons Sugar

¾ Teaspoon Baking Powder

¼ Teaspoon Baking Soda

¼ Teaspoon Salt

1 Beaten Egg

½ Cup Sour Milk or Buttermilk

¼ Cup Sliced Green Onion

Cooking Oil For Deep Fat Frying

In a medium bowl stir together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and set aside.  In a separate medium bowl combine the egg, sour milk or butter milk and green onion.  Add the egg mixture all at once to the flour mixture.  Stir just until moistened and make sure not to over-mix.  The batter should be lumpy.  Drop the batter by tablespoons into the deep hot oil.  The oil should be at least 375° F.  Fry for 3 minutes until golden brown and turn once.  Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
