  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      cup           cornmeal
   1      cup           flour
   1      medium        onion, peeled and finely chopped
   6                    scallions, green part -- finely chopped
   2      teaspoons     baking powder
   1      teaspoon      salt
     1/2  teaspoon      freshly ground black pepper
   1      egg           beaten
     3/4  cup           buttermilk

Mix the dry ingredients and the onions together. Blend the egg with the buttermilk and stir onto the dry ingredients. You will have a very thick batter. 

Allow the batter to sit for 1/2 hour and then drop by the tablespoonful into deep fat at 375. Deep fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in a 200 oven until serving.
