Clip on a candy thermometer and heat over medium to 360 degrees F. Meanwhile, whisk cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt and cayenne in a large bowl. Add corn and scallions; stir until evenly coated. Whisk egg and buttermilk in a medium bowl until well blended. Add the buttermilk mixture to the cornmeal mixture and gently mix just until moistened. Using wet hands, form the dough into 24 balls, about 1 tablespoon each. Coat 2 metal spoons with cooking spray and use them to carefully lower 8 balls into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle with some of the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Return the oil to 360 degrees F and repeat with the remaining dough in 2 more batches. To prepare dipping sauce: Combine yogurt, lemon juice, dill, parsley, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Serve with the hot hush puppies.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients.
