In a large bowl whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Stir in grated cheddar until well combined. In a smaller bowl, beat together egg with water, soured milk, and butter. Add onion, peppers and chiles to dry ingredients, followed by rest of the wet ingredients. Mix lightly with a fork until just combined. Using a small 2 ounce cookie scoop, drop dough into hot oil. I cooked about 8 at a time. Fry until golden brown on both sides – about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from fat and drain on paper towels. Serve warm. Makes 4 dozen.
