1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
2
Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and chopped onion until fully blended.

3
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
4
Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry Hush Puppies
Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the hush puppies are golden brown, turning them halfway through.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the hush puppies from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm as a side dish or snack.
