Least-Messy Way to Drop Hush Puppies?

[Count Porcula]

I'm cleaning my deep fryer, and while I'm at it, I'm thinking about hush puppies.,

I always make a mess when I fry them, and it's hard to control the batter when I drop them with a spoon.

Does anyone here have a better way? The batter is always somewhat loose, so I can't make balls out of it. I was thinking I might put the batter in a plastic bag, cut the corner off, and squeeze batter out.

Freeze the balls for a few minutes

Freeze the balls for a few minutes

This or thick batter and two spoons.

Maybe I'll try two spoons and see if that works.

I like my puppy's round, a bag works ok but you get cigar shapes, a ice-cream scoop with the flipper on it works well, give it a swipe in the oil some as you go along so the batter doesn't stick.

That's a great idea!
