How to Make Amazing Hush Puppies

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Add 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup buttermilk, and 1 large egg to the bowl.
3. Gently mix until just combined; do not overmix.
4. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper.
5. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
6. Carefully drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
7. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pot as this can lower the oil temperature.
8. Remove hush puppies with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
