For extra flavor, try adding a tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or chives to the batter. If you don't have self-rising cornmeal, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to 1/2 cup of regular cornmeal. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preference. For a milder flavor, use a smaller pinch or substitute with a dash of your favorite hot sauce. Make sure the oil temperature is consistent. If it's too low, the hush puppies will absorb too much oil and become greasy. If it's too high, they'll brown too quickly on the outside and remain undercooked on the inside.
