how to make Captain D’s Hush Puppy at home

•  Whisk all items: Take a small-medium bowl. Place the flour mix, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, a pinch of salt, grated onion, pepper, and sugar as the amount I mentioned above. Mix it properly. Then add 1 cup of buttermilk / whole milk to the dry mixture and whisk all items thoroughly.
  
• Make a thick batter: Whisk all the items very smoothly. Give it a thick batter. Ensure no lump is found. Whisk it until you get your desired consistency.
  
• Heat the oil: Place the frying pan on the stove and pour enough oil on the pan. Heat the oil 350 degrees to 365 degrees. As the hush puppies ball will be deep-fried so, the oil depth from bottom to top will be 4-5 inches.
  
• Drop batter round in hot oil: Take a one-ounce cookie-scoop and scoop to the batter and drop into enough heated oil. You can drop multiple scoops of batter if enough space is in the pan. Just don’t make the balls stick to each other. 
  
•  Flip halfway through: Fry them for a few minutes, around 2 minutes. Then flip the hush puppies halfway through. For the best result, don’t pour many balls into the pan at a time. They may stick to each other, and the oil temperature will be decreased for deep fry. Ensure each portion of hush puppies will be fried deep and colored golden brown.
  
•  Transfer hush puppies on a paper towel: When all hush puppies are fried deeply and colored  golden brown, just turn off the stove and transfer all the puppies on a paper towel. It absorbs the excess oil from the puppies. Let it cool and absorb for a few minutes. Be careful of one thing lastly that each side of puppies must be crunchy outside and moistened inside.
