- Mix the cornmeal, self-rising flour, low-fat buttermilk, and big egg in a basin. Stir the ingredients together until they are completely combined. The consistency of the mixture should be damp, but not too liquid.
- In a skillet, heat up some oil. (You are free to use about three tablespoons of coconut oil, or whatever oil you choose.)
- Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the heated oil, eliminating any excess batter from the pan. (The method of cooking is similar to that of making regular pancakes.)
- Once the bottoms of the fritters have browned, turn them over and cook for another minute or two.
- When the fritters are done cooking, place them on a paper towel-lined dish. Press the fritters lightly with the paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Get ready to serve!
