Hush Puppies:
Vegetable oil

1 can cream-style corn (about 8 oz.)
2 tablespoons buttermilk
In a deep-fat fryer, or saucepan,heat oil(2-4 inches) to 375 degrees.Mix the cornmeal,flour,sugar,baking powder,salt and the cayenne.Stir in the remaining ingredients until just combined.Drop batter by the tablespoonfuls into the hot oil.Fry a few at a time,turning over one, or two times,until dark golden brown,about 4 to 5 minutes.Drain on paper towels.Keep warm in 175 degree oven until all are done.
