Heat Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 365°F (185°C).

Fry Hushpuppies
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop tablespoon-sized amounts of batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
