This Southern-style side dish is addictive! Our incredible Golden Cornbread Mix is blended with seasonings, jalapeno and cheese and then fried up into little balls of happiness! Serve them up with fried fish or barbecue for an incredible meal.
Add vegetable oil to a shallow pot to a depth of 1 ½ inches. Preheat to 350°F. Whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder and Cajun seasoning until combined. Add cornbread mix, jalapeno (decrease or omit if you don’t want your hush puppies to be spicy), green onion and cheese, then stir until combined.
Using a 1 ounce scoop, drop balls into heated oil. Be sure to not overcrowd the pan. Fry until deeply browned, about 3–5 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels or a rack. Serve immediately.
