Ingredients:

2/3 cup of cornmeal

1/3 cup of self-rising flour

1/3 cup of low-fat buttermilk

Oil for frying

1 large egg

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, self-rising flour, low-fat buttermilk, and large egg. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well blended. The mixture should have a moist consistency, but not be too runny.

2. Heat a skillet with oil. (You can use ~3 tablespoons of coconut oil, or use your preferred oil.)

3. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. (The cooking technique used is similar to traditional pancakes.)

4. Cook the fritters until they turn brown on one side, then flip them over to brown the other side.

 

5. Once the fritters are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. Blot any excess oil by gently pressing the fritters with the paper towels.

6. Serve!
