A cornbread fritter is one of those wonderful treats that can be enjoyed as part of breakfast, alongside a dish such as chili or as a snack whenever the mood hits. Our cornbread fritters recipe is both simple and speedy, taking less than 30 minutes and including the prep time. Buttermilk and a little sugar make these fritters extra delicious. Enjoy them warm for instant smiles.<\/p>\n
In a large bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk the buttermilk and egg until everything is combined.<\/p>\n In a deep-fat fryer or skillet, heat 2 inches of oil to 375\u00b0F. Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls into the oil. Fry them until they’re golden brown, for about two minutes on each side. Drain them on paper towels and let them sit for about 10 minutes. Enjoy them while they’re warm.<\/p>\n Store the cornbread fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator once they’re cool. Place parchment paper or wax paper between layers to keep the fritters from sticking to one another to layer them. They’ll keep refrigerated for three to four days.<\/p>\n Yes, the fritters freeze nicely; layer them with sheets of parchment paper or wax paper between them and keep them in zippered freezer bags. They’ll keep in the freezer for about three months.<\/p>\n A cornbread fritter is a fun-sized fried cornbread treat that’s a little crunchy on the outside and nice and tender on the inside. They’re sometimes called hoecakes or Johnny cakes.<\/p>\n The oil is hot enough when a small amount of batter dropped into it starts frying immediately. If that doesn’t happen, the oil needs to be hotter. If the oil is smoking, it’s too hot.<\/p>\n A slotted spoon works wonderfully when it comes to removing the cornbread fritters from the hot oil; the oil is much too hot to let it get on your fingers. Placing the fritters on a cooling rack with a paper towel-covered baking sheet is another way to drain the grease and let the fritters cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Imagine cornbread, but in a fried and fun-sized form.
