Ingredients & Directions
                
     1 c  Self-rising flour
     1 c  Cornmeal
   1/8 ts Salt
   1/4 ts Baking soda
     1    Egg
 1 1/2 c  Buttermilk — or as needed
     1 md Onion — chopped
          Fat — for deep frying
 Sift together flour, cornmeal, salt, and soda.  Add egg and buttermilk
 until it’s the right consistency to hold its shape when rolled into a ball.
 Mix in onion, then roll into balls about 1 to 2 inches across and drop in
 deep hot fat.  Fry until they’re brown and crispy. Let them drain a bit on
 some paper and serve hot.
