Notes
Bacon grease is an option for making fried cornbread fritters. It will add a lot of flavor.
You can use a slotted spoon to lift the fritters out of the frying pan.
For this recipe, I used a cast-iron skillet. But you can use your favorite skillet.
You can use fresh corn, but I used canned corn to save time.
