hush puppy recipe

It's not often that ANYTHING Martha Stewart does is something that I would do at home, but the TV happened to be on while I was folding clothes and I saw this--YUMMY!

Hush Puppies

Serves 6 to 8

2 cups cornmeal   2 tablespoons all-purpose flour   1 teaspoon baking soda   1 teaspoon baking powder   1 teaspoon 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° on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches, drop batter, 1 teaspoon 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.               Note: Recipe from "Southern Country Cooking from the Loveless Cafe," by Jane and Michael Stern

I am a true Southern girl, and this hushpuppy recipe really caught my eye. I have to agree that this is about the first thing I've seen on Martha that has ever caught my eye. This is very similar to how I make hushpuppies, but I think the 6 egg whites whipped will make them really fluffy and light instead of packy.
