In a medium bowl, stir together the first six ingredients (through salt). Make a well in the center of flour mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the next three ingredients (through green onions). Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).
In a 3-qt. saucepan or deep-fat fryer heat 2 inches (5cm) vegetable oil to 375 °F (190 °C) or each hush puppy, drop a slightly rounded tablespoon of the batter into hot oil. Fry, three or four at a time, 3 minutes or until golden, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
