4. Fry the Hush Puppies:

   • Heat oil in a deep frying pan or Dutch oven to 370°F (190°C).

Tips for Perfect Hush Puppies

• Oil Temperature: Maintain a consistent oil temperature of 370°F (190°C) for crispy hush puppies.
• Batter Consistency: The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape when dropped into the oil but not too stiff.
• Flavor Variations: Experiment with different spices or add-ins like chopped jalapeños or shredded cheese for unique twists.
