   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2      Cups          Cornmeal
                         Ground cayenne pepper
    1      Cup           Plain flour
    2      Each          Eggs, beaten
    1      Teaspoon      Baking powder
    1      Cup           Buttermilk
    1      Teaspoon      Salt
    1      Cup           Green onion, finely chopped
      1/2  Teaspoon      Soda
    2      Tablespoons   Bacon drippings, hot
      1/2  Cup           Parsley, finely chopped
      1/2  Teaspoon      Garlic powder (to taste)
                         Deep fat for frying
 
 Combine all dry ingredients.  Add eggs, buttermilk, onions, and oil or bacon
drippings.  Mix well.  Drop in deep hot fat by spoonfuls and brown on all sides.
Now, I said above that this makes 48, I've never counted, so I don't know for
sure.  But it sure does make a bunch.
 The main reason why I said 48 is because the program, MenuMaster, won't let you
past that field unless you tell it something. Justin Wilson says, “Hush puppy is
an old Southern term that originated after the Civil War.  People didn't have
enough for themselves to eat let alone feed their dogs, so when the old hounds
started barking from hunger, they would throw pieces of fried corn bread to them,
yelling, 'Shut up, dog!  Hush puppy!”
