Looking for a tasty appetizer that will impress your guests? Look no further than these Smoked Gouda Hush Puppies! These crispy, golden-brown bites are packed with flavor and are sure to be a hit at any party or gathering.

To make these delicious 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
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup milk
- Vegetable oil, for frying

To start, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the shredded smoked Gouda cheese and chopped green onions.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop the batter into the oil, one tablespoon at a time. Fry the hush puppies until they are golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the hush puppies from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve the hush puppies hot, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
These Smoked Gouda Hush Puppies are the perfect appetizer for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside, and bursting with flavor. The smoked Gouda cheese adds a rich, smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the cornmeal batter and green onions.
