Well I found a hush puppy recipe on the web, modified it a little due to my bare cupboards and came up with this:

1 cup corn meal
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 TSP baking powder
1 egg ( I was out of eggs so I added 2 TBSP mayo instead)
1 cup buttermilk (I used regular milk) as needed
1 medium onion diced very fine

mix dry ingredients very well, then add the rest and mix well, should be able to roll these into a ball to fry, I just used a spoon and a butter knife and dropped dollops into the hot oil, fry until a golden brown color. I am going to try it with the egg and buttermilk but the ones I made last night are tasty, I fried them right along with the fish, same oil, just like they do in Dixie.
