Heat Oil for Frying
In a large, deep pot, heat 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; if it sizzles, it’s ready.

Fry Hushpuppies
Using a small scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
