Instructions

In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix in onions, bell peppers, cream-style corn, whole kernel corn, eggs, and pimentos until well combined.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Carefully drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches of 6 to 8. Fry for about 5 minutes, until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the hush puppies to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining batter.
