Yes. I am staring down the leftover corn and thinking: Gee, that would taste pretty marvelous inside a fritter. I haven’t had them in a long time. Of course, thinking about them makes me think of hush puppies. Now I am making myself drool… because the next thought is to bake some cornbread and then fry it up since I do happen to have some strawberry preserves here.

Oh gosh, now what? What will I make? Cornbread for dinner sounds good but fritters for breakfast. MMM. Yeah. I think that is the plan. How will I make the fritters? Very simple. I use the same basic pancake recipe that I used in my apple pancakes and just substitute apple for corn… and DON’T put it in the blender. You want all that kernely goodness intact. That’s what makes the texture so very special.

OR I might just try this other recipe and get my fat calories in for the day.

God I love southern food! I really do want to move there. Real estate is looking mighty good for moving down south…but more on that later.

How do you wash all that down? Not with a glass of milk or juice NO!!!
You have to make some genuine iced tea.

I prefer sun tea, but since the sun produces all these harmful rays now, I’m not trying to make sun radiation tea and start glowing from drinking it.

I make my tea like my mom makes hers. First you take about 6 tea bags and put them in some water in a glass pot on the back burner of the stove *yes it has to be that specific*. Boil it till the water get nice and permeated with the tea leafy goodness. Let the pot cool down a bit, find a pitcher to pour it into. Once the pitcher is found, you can pour your tea on in there and give it a good 3 cups of sugar *or more. I like mine sugary* Stir. Chill the pitcher in the back of the fridge for a few hours and VOILA your tea is done. Serve with a few ice cubes and you are golden.

    “The other recipe” sounds like the one I use, an old one from my mom and her mom. Well, except that ours uses buttermilk instead of sweet milk. ;0) But syrup? On corn fritters? Hush your mouth! Serve them up next to fried catfish and, if you must have something on them, I suggest ketchup! And as long as I’m criticizing: I was taught that the tea must be steeped, never boiled, because boiling will make it bitter. I don’t know that this will actually occur, mind you, because I’ve never dared to deviate from the time-honored tradition of steeping, lol!

    A sweet, sweet, perfectly delicious entry to the Southern Fried Carnival!
