Hush Puppies

1/3 cup oil
1 cup water (boiling)
2 cups old fashioned oats
¾ cup white cornmeal
½ cup skim milk
1 cup Cheddar cheese (grated)
1 egg
2 cups flour (white)
2 beef sticks (cut into ½" pieces) or Jerky (cut into bits)
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Make the dough by combining oil, boiling water and oats.
  3. Let mixture stand for a few minutes, then mix in the cornmeal, milk, cheese and egg.
  4. Slowly mix in the flour. The dough will be slightly sticky.
  5. Take 1-2 Tbs of dough and roll with your hands; press a small piece of beef stick inside and roll again. The beef stick should be completely covered with dough.
  6. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray or use a greased or non-stick pan.
  7. Place balls on the baking sheet and flatten each one slightly.
  8. Bake for 50 minutes for a slightly soft biscuit, or 60-70 minutes for a harder biscuit.
  9. Turn several times while baking. Turn off the oven and leave biscuits in until cool.

Note: For a pretty variation roll the dough and gently press the piece of beef stick into the center. Do not re-roll. Bake as directed above.
