I have eaten both pan-fried and deep-fried corn fritters, and I like them
both. I will not become involved in the argument as to which is more
authentic. I think it simply depends on what your mother used to make.

Use the Corn Bread batter (see recipe) and drop walnut-sized balls of
same into deep fat. Have the fat at 375? and cook the fritters until they
are very light golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve with honey for
dinner. If the fat is hot, you should not produce greasy fritters.
