In a medium bowl, beat eggs slightly. Add flour, baking powder,salt and sugar. Beat until well combined. Add this to the cornmeal mixture and beat until smooth.

In a deep fryer or deep pan, heat enough vegetable oil to be 1-2 inches deep. Temperature should be 375 F. Drop teaspoons full of mixture into hot oil. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Line a baking pan with paper towels and use a wire rack in the baking pan. Drain on the rack.
