Cheddar and Poblano Hush Puppies

Cheddar and Poblano Hush Puppies are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that will leave your taste buds wanting more. These crispy, golden-brown balls of goodness are made with a combination of cheddar cheese, poblano peppers, and cornmeal, giving them a unique and flavorful taste.

To make these Cheddar and Poblano Hush Puppies, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced poblano pepper
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- Vegetable oil for frying

To start, mix together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced poblano pepper, and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg, then pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Heat a few inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop the batter into the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the hush puppies for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
These Cheddar and Poblano Hush Puppies are the perfect appetizer for any occasion. They have a crispy exterior and a soft, cheesy interior with a slight kick from the poblano peppers. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or honey mustard, and enjoy!
