Recipes Hush Puppies

2 cups cornmeal

2 T all-purpose flour
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
1 t coarse salt
1/2 cup grated onion
1/4 cup sliced green onion
1 large egg yolk
1 cup buttermilk
6 large egg whites
Canola oil, for frying

1. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir in onions. Combine egg yolk and buttermilk; stir into cornmeal mixture until combined.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat egg whites until stiff. Gently fold into cornmeal mixture.
3. Fill a large deep skillet with 2 to 3 inches oil. Heat oil until it reaches 375 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches, drop batter 1 t at a time into the oil and cook, turning once until the hush puppies rise to the surface and are golden brown. 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve immediately.
