Instructions

Heat 1 quart of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C) for frying.
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) to keep the hush puppies warm.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold the buttermilk mixture, green onions, and minced onion into the dry ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Carefully drop tablespoon-sized balls of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches of 6 to 8. Fry the hush puppies until they are golden brown, flipping as needed to ensure even cooking, about 6 to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked hush puppies to brown paper bags to drain excess oil. Repeat the process with any remaining batter.
Transfer the drained hush puppies to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the preheated oven until you are ready to serve.
