Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.

Blend in egg and buttermilk. The dough should be thick enough to drop from a spoon slowly but easily, add more buttermilk if needed.

Mix in green onion, cheese, and spices.

Heat cooking oil to 375 F in a medium to large size pot, oil should be deep enough for hush puppies to float.

Drop teaspoonfuls of batter into the cooking oil and fry for 3 minutes until golden brown. Dip spoon in a glass of water after dropping each hush puppy in the hot oil

Remove to a draining rack to drain and keep warm while frying the rest.
