And you wonder why we're fat. 
Here's a rough conversion of the Paula Deen recipe to Metric. I'm unsure just how well it will work, since I'm assuming "self-rising cornmeal" is even harder to find in Europe than here in the US.
1.5 L peanut oil
240 g cups corn meal or Polenta
60 g self-rising flour
2.5 mL baking soda
12.5 mL baking powder
6.25 mL teaspoon salt
240 mL cup buttermilk
1 small onion, chopped
1 egg, lightly beaten
Directions
Using a deep pot, preheat oil for frying to 177 degrees C.
Using a mixing bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the onion. In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk and egg. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until blended. Drop the batter, 1 teaspoon at a time, into the oil. Dip the spoon in a glass of water after each hushpuppy is dropped in the oil. Fry until golden brown, turning the hushpuppies during the cooking process.
The peanut oil is authentic, but to save money, corn or canola/rapeseed oil is just as useful.

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
