Heat canola oil to 375 degrees.
Combine baking mix with milk and garlic powder; mixture will be thicker than pancake batter and a little thinner than biscuit dough.
When oil is up to temp (use a candy thermometer or when a piece of bread dropped in the oil sizzles and turns brown...without burning).
Individually dip the meatballs in batter, completely coating them, then gently add to oil, cooking only two meatballs at a time, turning in oil to insure even cooking.
When cooked to a deep brown, remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Continue until all meatballs have been batter fried.
