Looking for sweet hush puppies recipes, sans onions

I like hush puppies, but I can't stand onions. I live in the Northwest,
so they're not exactly common around here in resturants, but I remember
having some at a resturant in South Carolina that didn't have onions.
Can anyone give a few recipes for sweet hush puppies?

2 cups yellow corn meal
2 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Boiling water
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
Oil for frying
Heat oil in deep skillet or fryer to 375°F.

Mix all dry ingredients except the baking powder. Pour in enough hot water
to make a thick mush, making sure all ingredients are moistened. Add milk,
egg and baking powder and mix thoroughly.

Drop by spoonfuls (or use a small ice cream scoop) into oil, and fry until
golden brown.

NOTE: Increase sugar if you want them sweeter.

Essentially, you can leave the onion out of any recipe; this is mine -
the kids love them.

Hush Puppies Nancy Dooley

1 C. yellow cornmeal
1/4 C. finely diced onion (optional)
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper or 1 T. minced jalapeno pepper (optional)
1 beaten egg
1/4-1/2 C. buttermilk
Oil for frying

Blend together dry ingredients. Stir in onion and jalapeno, if using.
Add beaten egg and gradually add buttermilk until a thick batter is
formed (batter will be thick and a little lumpy). Drop teaspoonsful
into hot oil; fry until golden brown, turning once. They are done when
they float on the oil. Drain on paper towel and serve immediately.

Sweetened fried cornmeal, i.e. Hush puppies is quite uncommon. Us'
ns don't add sugar. You' ns can add sugar to your taste.

And add a little sugar to any recipe. I make mine like you do when I bother
to make them. I don't often deep-fry stuff.

2 cups yellow corn meal
2 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

I think 1/3rd flour to 2/3rds cornmeal works much better. They
puff up more and a lot less dense, making them more edible for
me.

Different strokes. :-) I prefer them more dense and I like the grittiness
of more cornmeal.
