Ruth's Fried Salmon Patties

This is my mother's recipe, and it is delicious. She makes these to take to covered dish dinners, and they are always snapped up immediately - not even any crumbs left to take home.

Ruth's Fried Salmon Patties

2 eggs, beaten

salt/pepper to taste

1 Tablespoon dried onion flakes (or 1/2 small onion, chopped finely)

1 handful of cornmeal (1/4 cup)

1 handful of flour ( 1/4 cup)

1 large can of flaked salmon, drained

In a mixing bowl, add all ingredients except salmon. Mix well. Add the drained salmon and mix well. In a large frying pan add 1/4 inch of vegetable oil and heat. Use a large serving spoon to dip out a ball of batter and put it into the hot oil - flattening it into a circle. When it browns on one side turn it over and brown on the other side. Drain and blot on paper towerls.
