  2. In a medium bowl whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  3. Make a well in the center of the cornmeal/flour mixture, add egg to well and whisk together.
  4. Stir in the buttermilk and melted butter.
  5. Stir in the Sriracha, cheddar cheese and green onions/sun-dried tomatoes (if using).
  6. Spoon mixture into the cavities of the prepared pan (the cheddar will make it look a bit lumpy).

  8. Allow donuts to cool in pan for at least 5 minutes before running an offset spatula around the edges of the donuts. Remove from pan and enjoy.
