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.
