Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. The oil should be at least 2 inches deep and hot enough for frying (about 350°F or 175°C).

Fry the Hush Puppies
Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Drain and Serve
Remove the hush puppies from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
