Ingredients

• vegetable oil or peanut oil
• 1½ cups self-rising cornmeal
• ½ cup self-rising flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• ½ cup buttermilk
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup Price*s Southern Style Pimiento Cheese Spread (or Price*s Original Pimento Cheese Spread - if you like them sweeter) (see the note in the blog post)

Directions

• Pour 3 to 4 inches of oil into the bottom of a heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven. Heat to the oil 350°F.
• In a bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, and garlic salt. Stir in the buttermilk and egg. Mix to combine. Add the pimiento cheese and mix well. If you like your hush puppies a little sweet, add the original spread rather than the southern style. Its a bit sweeter and will give your hush puppies a sweeter flavor. Theyre great either way.
• Once the oil is heated, carefully drop by heaping tablespoons full into the oil. Fry for about 3 minutes then flip to the other side. Cook for an additional 3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
