Speaking of hushpuppies, I need help with them. My wife has been known to fix them (using Zatarain's HP Mix) and while the taste is very good, they get all soaked full of oil while cooking. I have hypothesized that this would not be a problem if they were dipped in batter before deep frying. Is this correct, or is there another solution?
