2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup flour
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 beaten eggs
2 TBSP butter (melted)
1/3 cup milk

Grease a mini muffin tin pan (it should have 24 mini muffin cups). In a bowl add yellow cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper--stir to mix. In another bowl add chopped onions, milk, beaten eggs and melted butter--stir to mix. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture--stir just until mixed. Drop 1 TBSP of the batter into each of the greased mini muffin tin cups. Bake at 450 degrees for 10-11 minutes or until browned around the edges. Cool slightly before removing them from the mini muffin tin.
