I love corn fritters. Can't wait to try your recipe!!

My mom made fried cornbread with a doughnut hole in the center. She used cornmeal, salt, and egg. She fried it on top of the stove in an old iron fry pan in extremely hot grease. That's the limit of the family's knowledge of mom's secret recipe. I am seeking the details of that old recipe. Would greatly appreciate any help that you could provide. Thank you, Rhett

Made these tonight for the family. The only change I made was after they had cooled a bit I sprinkled confectioners sugar on top. They were excellent!

When my husband told me HE wanted to cook dinner I KNEW I could count on Paula to provide a wonderful but easy recipe for him to follow so I pointed him to the Corn Fritters! Sure enough! They were so delicious, very simple to make and yes, he did it all on his own! So proud of him and Paula, thank you for your visits to our dinner table via your fantastic recipes and my Paula Deen cookware. You're my inspiration every time I step into my kitchen!

Just wanted to show my continued support for you and your shows. Jealousy has a ugly way of rearing its ugly head. You are blessed and are needed. To say your cooking is responsible for anything other than great memories and comfort is rediculous. We are responsible for all of our actions and as ou point out, everything in moderation. My grandmother cooked he same way you do and she lived until she was almost 90! And no, she didn't have heart disease or diabetes. So, please continue doing what you do. We all love you and support you. God bless and remember--favor ain't fair but it sure feels fabulous. Happy cooking!

Well hello you all from PA ! ! What a great way to eat corn! My freezer is just filled with fresh corn, right off the cob. We have eaten corn bread, corn pudding, corn soup and just plain corn with butter. I had to find another way of eating corn. Came across this great receipe for corn fritters, and the family loved it. They have even asked if I would consider making a few dozen for Christmas. Paula has once again, proven to be a crowd pleaser with her yummy receipes. This may sound a little corny, but keep up the good work!

I made a batch of these and they are divine! My husband has never had real southern cooking and so I knew this would be a good one to try on him, he'd never heard of such a thing. I love sharing my southern heritage with a northern Californian. He's not a big sweet food fan, so I had him dab them in some of his habanero sauce and loved them. He ate so many he lost count, stuffed his face! Then made sure I saved the left overs and had more today. Great warmed up in the microwave on medium heat for 40 seconds, it turns them warm enough to eat without making them mush. So we get to enjoy them for a few days more! Easy to make and fry up. Great with grilled ribs. Just wonderful! Thank you Paula for sharing your love of cooking with us.

I love watching your show, and if ever I come your way I would dearly love to meet up with you. I try to make your recipes but unfortunately some of the ingredients are hard to find. Just one question, Paula - in all the cookery programmes I watch the meat is not washed.... is it pre-washed before the show?? Keep strong and may god be with you and your family. xx

Dear Paula, Since Smucker's took over the company that made Three Rivers Corn Meal, and then discontinued making it, I cannot find a suitable replacement. I understand Smuckers also makes Martha White, Pillsbury and White Lily. My cornbread does not taste the same using any of these. I went to the web site for "Three Rivers Corn Meal" and found this info. Also found many complaints and a host of folks who used Three Rivers and their disappointment and failure to make good cornbread. Please suggest a brand that you use. Thank you so much. Betty Owens, A loyal fan of yours!

I made these corn fritters to go along with fried fish and cole slaw. I added one can of chopped green chiles, 1/4 cup of chopped onion and about 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese - they were a huge hit!! I must admit, mine didn't look as pretty as Paula's though.
