Made with a combination of cornmeal, flour, Parmesan cheese, and herbs, these hush puppies are bursting with flavor.

To make Parmesan and Herb Hush Puppies, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 egg
- Vegetable oil, for frying

In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, water, and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop the batter into the oil, about 1 tablespoon at a time. Fry the hush puppies in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
Remove the hush puppies from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve the hush puppies warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
These Parmesan and Herb Hush Puppies are the perfect combination of crispy and savory. The Parmesan cheese adds a rich and nutty flavor, while the herbs give them a fresh and fragrant taste. The texture is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making them the perfect bite-sized appetizer.
