Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 jalapeñoes, seeded, minced
1 pack bacon, cooked, crumbled
1 ½ cups yellow cornmeal
½ cup all purpose flour
3 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons sugar
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg, beaten
1 yellow onion, grated
oil, to fry

Steps:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapeños, and bacon, and use a hand mixer to blend until combined.

  • In a separate bowl, add the buttermilk, egg, and onion, and stir until combined.
  • Slowly add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat a pot of oil to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Dip the cream cheese balls into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated on all sides.
  • Add the hush puppies to the oil and fry until golden brown on all sides.
  • Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel lined-plate to drain.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

These hush puppies were just okay. They were a little too bland for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

These hush puppies were a bit too dry for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding some milk to the batter next time.

These hush puppies were a bit too greasy for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These hush puppies were amazing! The bacon, cheddar, and jalapeño flavors were all perfectly balanced, and the hush puppies were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making these again.
