Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste and transfer them to a serving dish. Serve with Paula Deen's Sweet and Spicy Chili Sauce, if desired.

Steps:
- Using a fine-meshed sieve over a large bowl, sift together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cayenne. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the buttermilk, egg, and scallions, until a batter is formed. (Take care not to over-mix the batter or the hushpuppies will be dense.)
- Pour the oil for frying into a large heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 375 degrees F. Working in small batches, using a greased teaspoon, drop spoonfuls of batter into the oil, turning once, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the hushpuppies to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately.
- Cook's Note: Using a greased spoon (vegetable oil spray works well) helps to release the batter from the spoon. Additionally, if you drop the batter off of the tip of the spoon it will form ball shapes; if dropped off the side it will form oblong shapes.

Steps:
- Whisk 3/4 cup cornmeal, 1/4 cup flour, 2 tablespoons sugar and 3/4 teaspoon each baking soda and salt in a bowl. Stir in 1 beaten egg, 1/2 cup each buttermilk and corn kernels, 1 minced jalapeno, 4 minced scallions, and pepper to taste. Deep-fry spoonfuls of the batter in 350 degrees F vegetable oil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
Tips:
- Use cold beer: Cold beer helps to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the hushpuppies tough.
- Fry the hushpuppies in hot oil: The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Frying too many hushpuppies at once will lower the temperature of the oil and make them greasy.
- Serve the hushpuppies hot: Hushpuppies are best served hot and fresh out of the fryer.
Conclusion:
Paula Deen's hushpuppies are a delicious and easy-to-make Southern classic. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect hushpuppies that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Serve them with your favorite seafood dish or as a snack, and enjoy!
