Prepare the Batter
In a medium bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, parsley, baking powder, seasoned salt, onion powder, and garlic salt.
Add to this the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Stir well.
Fry the Hush Puppies
Using a large Dutch oven, preheat peanut oil for frying to 350-360 degrees. Drop by small scoops or tablespoons into hot oil. Cook in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch, turning so that all sides are browned.When deep fat frying always return the oil to the desired temperature before frying each batch.
Remove hush puppies from hot oil with a long-handled wire strainer. Drain on a baking sheet covered with paper towels or a wire rack. Makes about 20-25 hush puppies.
