To make these delicious Pimento Cheese Hush Puppies, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup pimento cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 egg, beaten
- Vegetable oil, for frying
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, pimento cheese, green onions, and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, drop the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the hush puppies from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
These Pimento Cheese Hush Puppies are a perfect appetizer or side dish for any meal. They are crispy on the outside and soft and cheesy on the inside. The pimento cheese adds a tangy and slightly spicy flavor that complements the sweetness of the cornmeal. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce, and watch them disappear in no time.
