This recipe comes from the Food Network Magazine and yes, that’s Deen as in Paula Deen, these are her sons and this is a recipe from their cookbook “The Deen Bros. Take It Easy”.  I made a pot of chili today (“Family Favorite Chili”) so these went along nicely.

2/3 cup yellow cornmeal

1/3 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

1/3 cup milk

2 eggs, lightly beaten

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 Heat oven to 450.  Grease 24 cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray.

2  Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in medium bowl.

3  In a separate bowl, mix onion, milk, eggs and butter.  Fold egg mixture into flour mixture just until moistened.

4  Scoop 1 tablespoon of batter into each cup.  Bake 10 minutes, or until hush puppies are firm to the touch and golden brown around edges.
