Hush Puppies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup self rising flour
1 egg
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 large onion, chopped
1 large bell pepper, chopped
1 large jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 (6 ounce) bottle louisiana hot sauce (NOT TABASCO)

Preparation

Mix meal, flour, egg, and milk.
This should be thick.
Add onion and bell pepper. Mix well.
Then add jalapeno and hot sauce.
Refrigerate until thicker.
Drop by spoonfuls off into the hot oil and fry until brown.
Very light and fluffy.
A hush puppy should not be packy.
This sounds hot but the frying makes the jalapeno sweet and the hot sauce only adds flavor.
Salt lightly after taking out of oil onto paper towels.
This is my own recipe.
