Colorful and flavorful spicy hush puppies packed with bell peppers and pimento peppers, perfect with tangy tartar sauce.
Ingredients:
  • 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups cornmeal
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.25 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
Instructions:
  • Combine 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 mixing bowl.
  • Preheat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375°F (190°C).
  • Scoop up 6 to 8 tablespoon-sized portions of batter and gently place them in the hot oil. Fry until each hush puppy turns a beautiful golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the hush puppies to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
