How to Make Brenda's Sweet Hush Puppies

In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the eggs, milk, and melted butter. Stir until just combined; don't overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped onion.
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (350°F/175°C).
Drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve warm and enjoy! Perfect as a side dish or a delicious snack.
