1
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir until well mixed.
2
Add Wet Ingredients
Add the chopped onion, milk, and beaten egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
3
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry the Hush Puppies
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
5
Drain and Serve
Remove the hush puppies from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
