Corn Fritters
 
Makes about 2½ dozen
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
  • 1 cup minced onion
  • 1½ cups self-rising cornmeal mix
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded fontina cheese
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
  1. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add corn and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 6 minutes or until onion is tender.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together cornmeal mix, flour, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and eggs. Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened; stir in cheese and corn mixture.
  3. In a medium Dutch oven, pour oil to a depth of 3 inches, and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360°. Using a 1½-inch spring-loaded ice cream spoon, carefully scoop batter into hot oil, and fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Let drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
