      Title: Justin Wilson's Hush Puppies
 Categories: Cajun, Breads
      Yield: 48 servings

      2 c  Cornmeal
      1 c  Plain flour
      1 t  Baking powder
      1 t  Salt
    1/2 t  Soda
    1/2 c  Parsley, finely chopped
      1 x  Deep fat for frying
      1 x  Ground cayenne pepper
      2 ea Eggs, beaten
      1 c  Buttermilk
      1 c  Green onion, finely chopped
      2 T  Bacon drippings, hot
    1/2 t  Garlic powder (to taste)

  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!"
