Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a large bowl, combine all Dry Ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all Wet Ingredients.
Pour the Wet Ingredients into the Dry Ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Heat about 2 inches of Vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the hush puppies with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Serve immediately.
