Steps:

• First, start by heating up enough oil in a pot to submerge the hush puppies. The oil temperature should reach 365 degrees F before you can start frying.
• In a bowl, combine the flour, corn meal, salt, granulated garlic, cajun seasoning, baking powder, baking soda and sugar. Whisk together to mix.
• Add the egg to the corn meal mixture and pour in the buttermilk and oil. Whisk together to combine.
• Finely grate or mince the onion.
• Fold the onion into the batter with a spatula so you don't over mix.
• Scoop 2 tbsp of the batter using a cookie scoop and drop it into the hot oil. Do not over crowd the pan, otherwise the temperature of the oil will drop. I usually fry about 5 at a time but this could vary depending on the size of your pot.
• Fry the cajun hush puppies for 3-4 minutes or until you achieve a golden brown color on all sides. Flip them throughout the process so that all sides cook evenly.
• Transfer them to a paper towel lined plate to soak up the excess oil.
• Finally, garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve.
