I have a friend in Nashville
- Hi there, Zzzadig! -
with whom I regularly correspond.
We share recipes.
He sent me a recipe for fritters the other day
and I made 'em.
With minor adjustments.
And I thank you, Zzzadig.
Here's his recipe:
Fritter:
1.5 cups white cornmeal
.5 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup oil
1 cup milk or buttermilk
2 eggs
pinch of salt
1 cup corn of your choice and whatever else you might like (chopped green chilies, poblanos, cheese chunks) these were plain.
Fry on griddle or cast iron.
Aren't these pretty?
This is what I'd call a hush puppy,
and a damn good hush puppy at that.
I've been trying to find a good hush puppy recipe
since I've never much liked hush puppies in restaurants
except for an un-named one Mr. Hawthorne and I went to
in Boone, North Carolina, years ago.
Un-named because I can't remember the name.
I'll have to check and see if I blogged it.
I DID! I DID!
It was Mike's Inland Seafood.
That one was really good.
And I asked the waitress for the recipe
but she refused to comply.
Bitch.
I also had an excellent corn fritter/hush puppy
at Hummingbird's
in Clingan's Junction, California,
October 13,
on the way to Sequoia National Park.
while we were on our trip.
-September 15 - November 14 -
Those were really terrific.
They had a big chunk of melted cheese in the middle.
This is the one we had in Hummingbird.
I gotta work on that puppy.
I want the cheese in the middle.
Will report back to you later on that issue.
