Jillena s Crab Hush Puppies

1 cup self-rising flour

1 cup self-rising cornmeal

½ teaspoon garlic salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn

½ pound crabmeat

1 onion, diced

2 eggs, beaten

1 quart vegetable oil, or as needed

Mix self-rising flour, cornmeal, garlic salt, pepper, corn, crabmeat, onion, and eggs together in a bowl; let sit for 10 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).

Drop 6 to 8 tablespoon-sized balls of batter into the hot oil; fry until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove hush puppies with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
