These are a great compliment to fish or chicken.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups corn meal
• 2 Tbsp. baking powder
• 1 1/4 cup milk
• cooking oil

• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 cup onion, chopped up fine
• 1/2 cup water

Directions:

First, heat about 1/2 inch of cooking oil to about 360 degrees F, because the rest of it doesn't take long. While it is heating, mix the corn meal, baking powder and salt. Then jumble in the onions. Blend in the milk and water next, maybe adding a little more corn meal ( if necessary), until the dough is stiff enough to be able to be handled. Shape dough into oblong thumb-sized cakes and drop them into the fat and fry. Turn occasionally until they are done, about 15 minutes.
