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!

- In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk and egg.
- Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until blended.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove and place on a papertowel lined plate. Enjoy!
