Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be thick.
Frying

Heat Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter in; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

Fry Hushpuppies
Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Cook Until Golden Brown
Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the hushpuppies are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
