Tips:
- Use cold beer: Cold beer helps to create a light and fluffy batter. You can use any type of beer, but a light beer will produce a less dense hush puppy.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the hush puppies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature: The oil should be hot enough to fry the hush puppies without burning them. Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan with a few inches of oil. Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the hush puppies.
- Fry the hush puppies in small batches: Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the hush puppies. Fry them in small batches so that they have room to cook evenly.
- Drain the hush puppies on paper towels: After frying, drain the hush puppies on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
