Hush Puppies

I found this recipe in a cookbook called "Dinner and a Movie", a cookbook inspired by a TV bit on TBS years ago.

1 1/2 Cups Cornmeal
1/2 Cup Flour
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
Dash of Tabasco
1/2 Bunch Green Onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper
 1 Egg, beaten
1 Cup Buttermilk
8 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 Can Whole Corn
Vegetable Oil for Frying

Cook bacon until crisp. Cool and crumble. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, including cheese. In another bowl, mix wet ingredients, adding the bacon and green onion. Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir together until well incorporated. Mixture will be thick, like pancake batter. Add water if it's too thick. Take large spoonfuls and drop into hot oil. Fry until both sides are golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Finally, take the hot hush puppies and roll in Parmesan cheese.
