4 Cups Medium-fine cornmeal (I like stone ground)
4 level teaspoon Baking Powder
4 Tablespoons Flour
2 level teaspoon salt

Add:

4 cups Milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 chopped yellow onion

Drop by tablespoons into hot grease. Cook until golden and floating, turningseveral times to cook all around. Drainon paper towels, or, preferable, a split open brown paper bag.

I'll have to check the original recipe--over the years I have tripled and quadrupled this recipe for larger groups, and may have included too much milk. I followed this recipe last night and it was too thin.--Still a great recipe, but I'd start with 2 cups of milk and then increase the amount until it gets to the proper consistency.
