In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, onion powder, and garlic salt.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg before adding it to the dry ingredients; then pour in the whole milk.Mix well until all ingredients are combined and the batter has the consistency of bread batter.If the batter seems too thin, add more cornmeal or flour as needed.
In a deep frying pan or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 365°F (185°C), ensuring there is enough oil to submerge the hush puppies.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil.Be careful not to overcrowd the frying pan, and let the hush puppies cook until they become golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Once the hush puppies are done, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack to drain the excessoil.You may want to serve your Long John Silver's Hush Puppies warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
