Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Cornmeal
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Green onions, finely chopped
• 0.25 cups Sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
• 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 4

Fold in the chopped green onions and sun-dried tomatoes until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the oil is deep enough to fully submerge the hush puppies.

Step 6

Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry 4-5 hush puppies at a time to avoid overcrowding.

Step 7

Cook each batch for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the hush puppies are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the hush puppies from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat until all the batter is used.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer, optionally with a dipping sauce of your choice.
