Ingredients

  • 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups cornmeal
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup baking powder
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 5 eggs
  • 3 bell peppers, minced
  • 3 onions, minced
  • 1 (14 ounce) can cream-style corn
  • 1 (14 ounce) can whole kernel corn
  • 1 cup chopped pimento peppers
  • 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Step 1
Mix flour, cornmeal, sugar, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, black pepper, eggs, bell peppers, onions, cream-style corn, whole kernel corn, and pimento peppers in a large bowl.

Step 2
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 3
Drop 6 to 8 tablespoon-sized balls of batter into the hot oil; fry until each hush puppy is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove hush puppies with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with any remaining batter.
