To make these Cheddar and Scallion 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 chopped scallions
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- Vegetable oil, for frying

To start, mix together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped scallions, and stir until everything is well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until a thick batter forms.
Heat a few inches of vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop the batter into the oil, one scoop at a time. Fry the hush puppies for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the hush puppies from the oil with a slotted spoon, and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil. Serve the Cheddar and Scallion Hush Puppies hot, with your favorite dipping sauce.
