 Qty   Measurement       Ingredient

1-1/2  cup               cornmeal
    1  cup               flour
    3                    eggs, beaten
    1                    onion, grated
2-1/2  cups              milk, hot
    1  cup               corn kernels
    2  tsp               baking powder
    1                    red pepper, chopped
    2  Tbsps             jalapeno pepper, chopped
1-1/2  cups              cheddar cheese, grated
    2  Tbsps             butter, melted
                         oil (for frying)

In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal and flour. Add the beaten eggs to the cornmeal mixture. Stir. Add the onion, milk, corn, baking powder, red pepper, and jalapeno pepper. Stir. Add the cheddar cheese and melted butter. Blend well to form a stiff batter.

In a pot, heat enough cooking oil to fry the hushpuppies. Drop the batter into the hot oil by the spoonful. Fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
