===== Directions =====
  - Preheat frying oil to 350-375F.
Mix all dry ingredients. Add in egg, labneh and milk, stir to combine. Add in the remaining ingredients and fold lightly to distribute. Add a dash of water if the batter is too dry. It should be thin enough where it won’t hold its shape when scooped with a spoon, but thick enough that it will go into the fryer as one clump.
Using two spoons or a small portion scoop, drop tablespoon sized dollops of batter into the hot oil. Don’t overcrowd the oil. Cook for about 3 minutes, until golden brown on all sides. Rotate as needed to evenly cook. Fight the urge to put in larger scoops- the outside will be overcooked by the time the inside is done.
Use a slotted spoon to remove hushpuppies from the oil, and allow to drain and cool on a wire rack or paper towel lined plate. Allow oil to come back up to temp before starting another batch.
Serve with your favorite sauces. I personally like to keep it simple with some butter and a little hot sauce.
