There is a restaurant on Isle of Palms right outside of Charleston, SC called Coconut Joes. They serve the BEST coconut hush puppies! I wanted to try and duplicate the recipe but could not find it any where so I came up with these and they tasted great! They are still no coconut Joes but they are the closest thing I'm going to get without having to get a job at the place and stealing the recipe. I hope you enjoy them!

Using a mixing bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. stir in the onion.
Step 3

In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk and egg.
Step 4

Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until blended.
Step 5

Add the coconut extract, and cream of coconut to the mixture and stir. Then add the coconut flakes. Mix it all together until well blended.
Step 6

Drop the batter, 1 teaspoon at a time, into the oil or if you have a small cookie scoop then use that. Do not crowd. The hushpuppies will grow larger as they fry. Turn them half way through so that both sides are golden.
