  1. Pour oil in a large pot and begin preheating on medium-high heat.
  2. Place all ingredients for the hush puppies into a large bowl and whisk together to create a thick batter.
  3. Once the oil has reached 350 degrees F fry large (2 tablespoon) spoonfuls of batter for about 5 minutes, flipping every 2 to 3 minutes. This will take several batches.
