Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 cup very finely chopped onion
1/2 cup very finely chopped green pepper
1/2 cup very finely chopped green onion, green tops only
1 egg, beaten

In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, pepper; mix well, breaking up any lumps.
2
Add chopped onions, green peppers, green onion tops and egg, stirring thoroughly.
3
Note: Mix will be very dry.
4
Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours, but no longer than 3 hours or batter will get too moist.

This is a hit year after year at an annual get-together. The platter never makes it very far from the chef.

I love these. I've got the cookbook from where this recipes comes, and it's one of my cooking bibles. These hush puppies are plain fun to eat and colorful. If you want a variation that puts an interesting spin on this recipe - or have a sweet tooth - add some frozen or canned corn kernels. Crazy as it sounds, kids love these.

I was searching for a hushpuppy recipe that would come close to the sweet ones I would get at southern seafood restaurants served with honey butter. I left out the green peppers and the green onions. Although the hushpuppies were a little too sweet to use the honey butter, the recipe was awesome. I'll make it many more times, but I'll probably cut the sugar a little.

I made this last night and while the flavor was wonderful, I had issues with the hush puppies staying together in the oil. I'm sure that I did something wrong but I'm not sure what. I'll try again and rate it next time!
