Also known as Johnny Cakes or Hoecakes, fried cornbread fritters are a staple side dish in the southern U.S. They look a bit like a cross between cornbread and a pancake, and they don't take much effort to whip up for a quick side dish. You can make them as big or as little as you like; however, keep in mind that the smaller fritters are much easier to flip. Serve the fried cornbread fritters alongside chili, fried chicken, beans and greens, or any other Southern-inspired cuisine.

Ingredients

butter
honey
Neutral oil
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup bacon drippings
1 cup water
1/4 cup self-rising flour
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups cornmeal

Method

01

In a medium bowl, mix cornmeal, salt, self-rising flour, water, bacon drippings, milk, and egg to form a batter thick enough to drop out with a tablespoon.
02

Heat a cast-iron skillet until it's hot but not smoking. Add oil and let it heat up. Drop batter by the tablespoon into the skillet. Let it cook until the edges are bubbling and the center is set.
03

Using a spatula, flip the fritters to cook on the other side. Remove the fritters to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with honey and butter, if desired.
