1
Chop the Onion
Finely chop the onion and set aside.
2
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.

3
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well blended. Then, add the chopped onion and mix until combined.
4
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

5
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it bubbles and rises, it's ready.
6
Fry the Hush Puppies
Using a spoon or a small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning them halfway through for even cooking.
7
Drain and Serve
Remove the hush puppies using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
