Hushpuppies

From: Country Cookin'

Ingredients:
2 cups corn meal
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup water
1 onion, diced

Mix all ingredients and drop by teaspoonfuls into very hot deep fat. Hush puppies should turn over by themselves when brown on one side. Remove when golden brown to absorbent paper.

What I did differently from the recipe:
I halved it.

What I'll do differently next time:
I'm not sure....

Verdict:
Well, these were interesting. Something else needs to be added to this recipe. Anybody know what it is?? We couldn't put our finger on it. They were good, but it was almost like if we could find this one missing ingredient they would be so much better.
