vegetable oil; for frying
2 cups self-rising white cornmeal mix
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp white onion; chopped
1/4 tsp salt

1. Heat oil to 350 degrees.

2. Make certain to add enough oil, so the depth is 3 to 4 inches.

3. In a medium bowl, stir together the white cornmeal mix, yellow cornmeal, buttermilk, sugar, diced onion, and salt.

4. Drop by a 1-ounce cookie scoop into the hot oil. Fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Fry only a few at a time for best results. If you add too many at once, the oil temperature may drop, and they make not cook well.

5. Drain on a wire rack.
