Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Heat Oil
In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Fry Hushpuppies
Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Drain and Serve
Remove hushpuppies from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with honey drizzled over or on the side.
