     Title: Justin Wilson's Hush Puppies
Categories: Cajun, Breads
  Servings: 48

      2 c  Cornmeal                                 Ground cayenne pepper
      1 c  Plain flour                         2    Eggs, beaten
      1 ts Baking powder                       1 c  Buttermilk
      1 ts Salt                                1 c  Green onion, finely chopped
    1/2 ts Soda                                2 tb Bacon drippings, hot
    1/2 c  Parsley, finely chopped           1/2 ts 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!"
