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.
