Add a photoYou can use any cheese you want, but if you love pimento cheese liked I do, these are especially tasty.
Ingredients
- 6 oz. pimento cheese (see links or use store-bought)
- 2 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal*
- 1/2 cup minced onion
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg, beaten
- oil to fry
- Southerners like to cook with self-rising ingredients. To make it at home, to each 3/4 cup + 3 tbs. cornmeal, add 1 tbs. baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.
Directions
- Batter:
- Combine wet ingredients with the dry ones.
- Barely mix together.
- Take a 1/2 tsp. of cheese and form dough around it to make fritters about 2-2/12 inches.
- Heat 1 inch of oil over medium high and fry the fritters until golden brown on all sides.
- Transfer to a paper towel on a plate.
- Best served hot with butter.

I'm not a fan of pimento cheese, but I bet these would be just as delicious with cream cheese (or a mixture of cream cheese and chives, which is what I intend to use) :)
