Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Hush Puppies
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, carefully drop tablespoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown on all sides.
