1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon of onion powder

In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well. Add in the diced onion, red bell pepper, and parsley. Stir until combined. In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk and egg until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is combined and there are no lumps. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, use a spoon to drop small amounts of the hush puppy batter into the skillet. Fry the hush puppies for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. Remove the hush puppies from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Serve the hush puppies hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
