Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Fry Hushpuppies
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
