In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 cup of yellow cornmeal, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of buttermilk and 1 large egg.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Don't overmix, as this can make the hush puppies tough.
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat 1 cup of vegetable oil to 375°F.
Using a small ice cream scoop or two spoons, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the hush puppies until they're golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
