Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick but pourable.
Frying
- 4
Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle and float to the surface.

Fry Hush Puppies
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the hush puppies from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
