1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until well mixed.
2
Prepare Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined. Add the finely chopped onion and stir until evenly distributed.
3
Combine Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be thick.

4
Heat Oil
In a large, deep pot or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry Hush Puppies
Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to crowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the hush puppies with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
