Tallahasse Hush Puppies- Recipe Box #7

I'm not sure where this box came from...possibly Red Oak, Iowa.  Here it is:

I've always been a fan of hush puppies, so here's a tasty one:

Here's the recipe:

Tallahasse Hush Puppies

2 c. corn meal

2 t. (tsp?) baking powder

1 t. (tsp?) salt

1 1/2 c. milk

1/2 c. water

1 large onion

Sift the dry ingredients together.  Add milk and water.  Stir in chopped onion.  Add more meal or milk as may be necessary to form a soft but workable dough.  With the hands mold pieces of dough into pones (oblong cakes, about 5 inches long and 3 inches wide and about 3/4 of an inch thick).  Fry in deep fat or oil until well browned.

Enjoy!
