Steps:
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapeños, and bacon, and use a hand mixer to blend until combined.
- Using a teaspoon, scoop out the cream cheese mixture and roll into a ball. Place onto a parchment paper-lined sheet tray and freeze for 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, add the cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and cayenne pepper, and whisk to combine.
- In a separate bowl, add the buttermilk, egg, and onion, and stir until combined.
- Slowly add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Preheat a pot of oil to 350˚F (180˚C).
- Dip the cream cheese balls into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated on all sides.
- Add the hush puppies to the oil and fry until golden brown on all sides.
- Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel lined-plate to drain.
- Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
