Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Mix in Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix the chopped onion, buttermilk, and beaten egg. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Fry the Hush Puppies
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
