   1      c             Masa flour -- or corn meal
   2 1/4  c             Flour
   1      ds            Worcestershire sauce
   1      ds            Crystal hot sauce
                        Solid vegetable shortening -- for deep-frying
                        Creole seasoning
   2      c             Creole dipping sauce -- see recipe

Preheat the oil for frying.

In a saute pan, over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot,
add the onions, peppers, corn, and garlic.

Season with salt and pepper. Saute for about 2 minutes, or until
slightly wilted.

Stir in 1/4 cup of the green onions. Remove and set aside to cool.
Beat the eggs and milk together. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the masa, flour and baking powder, beating and incorporating
until the batter is smooth.

Fold the corn mixture into the batter. Season with salt and pepper.
Season with a dash of Worcestershire Sauce and hot sauce. Set aside.

Drop the batter, 1 heaping tb at a time, into pan of hot oil. When
the beignets pop to the surface, roll them around with a slotted
spoon in the oil to brown them evenly. Fry until golden brown, about
4 minutes.

Remove and drain on two separate paper-lined plates. Season with
Creole seasoning.

Serve the beignets with the dipping sauce on a platter.

Yields: 6 to 8 servings

Notes:
A good dish shouldn't always be complicated or take long to cook.
