To make these Pimento Jalapeno Hush Puppies, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup diced pimentos
- 1/4 cup diced jalapenos
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup milk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
To begin, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Add the pimentos, jalapenos, and onion, and stir to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk, then add to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop the batter into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
