Jalapeno, Green Chile and White Cheddar Hush Puppies
Jalapeno, Green Chile and White Cheddar Hush Puppies
2 cups cornmeal
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely grated extra sharp white cheddar cheese
1/2 cup finely minced onion
2 jalapeno peppers, finely minced
4 roasted green chiles, chopped (or 1–4 ounce can)
1 egg
2/3 cup water
1/2 cup milk mixed with 1-1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/2 cup butter, melted
Oil for deep frying
Heat oil in deep fryer to 375. 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.
