0: Hushpuppies are fried in hot drippings left after frying fish, picking up some of the fresh fish flavor
1: Combine the corn meal, flour, pancake mix, salt, sugar, and pepper in a bowl
2: Beat the egg lightly in a measuring cup, and add the onion and enough milk to fill to the 1-cup mark
3: Mix the liquids into the dry mixture well
4: If not moist throughout, add a tablespoonfull or two more of milk, blending well
5: Put any fish drippings you may have in a heavy frying pan and add enough oil to a depth of 1/4 inch
6: Heat and drop a small amount of batter into the fat
7: If it sizzles, the fat is hot enough
8: Make a test hushpuppy: Drop a teaspoonful of batter in; if it spreads like a pancake, the batter is too thin, so stir a tablespoonful or two of corn meal into the uncooked batter
9: If, after the test hushpuppy has cooked, it is dense and dry, stir 2 or 3 teasponns of milk into the batter
10: When the batter consistency is right, drop the batter from the tip of a teaspoon into the pan; cook 6, 8, or 10 at a time, being careful not to let the hushpuppies overlap while frying
11: Cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes, turn, and brown the other side, about 3 minutes
12: Drain on paper towels and keep hot while frying the remaining hushpuppies
13: Add more oil to the pan as needed, a little at a time, to prevent cooking
14: Fat should be kept medium-hot, to brown hushpuppies
15: Check often so that hushpuppies do not scorch
16: NOTE: In Florida many like to use self-rising flour and corn meal as well as pancake mix in hushpuppies and other breads
17: If you wish, substitute all-purpose flour for self-rising and the pancake mix; use plain corn meal in place of the self-rising type
18: Then to the dry ingredients add 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt
19: Add the liquid ingredients, then proceed with the recipe as directed
