Down Home Hush Puppies

1 1/4 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 1/4 Cups White or Yellow Cornmeal
1 1/4 teas. Watkins Baking Powder
3/4 teas. Salt
1/4 teas. Watkins Cayenne Pepper
1 Cup Milk
2 Large Eggs
1 Small Onion - finely chopped
Watkins Original Grapeseed Oil for Deep Frying

In a medium bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and pepper.  In a small bowl, beat the milk and eggs. Add to the dry ingredients with the onion. Stir just until combined. In a large skillet, preferably cast-iron, add enough oil to come halfway up the sides. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot, but not smoking (365 F).  Using 1 tablespoon batter for each hush puppy, carefully drop the batter into the hot oil. Fry, turning once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Using a skimmer, transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve hot.
