Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 Eggs
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Finely chopped onion
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg, then add the milk and finely chopped onion. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing. The batter should be thick.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure consistent frying temperature.

Step 5

Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter into the hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet.

Step 6

Fry the hush puppies in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried hush puppies to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Serve warm as a delightful side dish with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside fried fish or BBQ.
