Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | All-purpose flour |
| 1/2 cup | White sugar |
| 1/2 cup | Cornmeal |
| 2 tsp | Baking powder |
| 1/4 tsp | Salt |
| 1/8 tsp | Pepper |
| 1 | Onion (chopped) |
| 1/2 | Green pepper (chopped) |
| 1/2 | Green onion (chopped) |
| 1 | Egg |
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, white sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add chopped onions, green peppers, green onion tops, and egg to the dry mixture, stirring thoroughly. Note: The mixture will be very dry.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 2 hours, but no longer than 3 hours to prevent the batter from becoming too moist.
- Shape the dough into small balls for deep frying.
- In a deep skillet, wok, electric frying pan, or a proper deep fryer, heat your preferred deep-frying oil to 330°F (165°C).
- Carefully slip the hush puppies into the hot oil, then turn the heat to low. Fry in small batches until they turn dark golden brown, approximately 4 minutes.
