Instructions: Preheat the fryer.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, hot sauce, onions and cheese. Mix together. Stir in the eggs, buttermilk, water and hot sauce. Mix until fully incorporated.

Fry one tablespoon of the batter at a time. Fry the hushpuppies for 2 to 3 minutes or until they are golden brown. Stirring constantly will ensure even browning.

Remove from the oil and drain on a paper plate. Season with Creole seasoning.
