New Bedford tradition says these toads are to be eaten with creamed codfish.
1 cup corn meal
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
salt milk sugar, if desired
Mix the meal, flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the egg, unbeaten, and enough milk so that walnut-sized portions can be dripped into deep fat (360 degrees F) for frying to golden brown.
