These might look like pancakes, but they’re not. Trust me, once you try them, your life will never be the same

1. 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.
2. In a skillet, heat up some oil. (You are free to use about three tablespoons of coconut oil, or whatever oil you choose.)
3. 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.)
4. Once the bottoms of the fritters have browned, turn them over and cook for another minute or two.
5. 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.
6. Get ready to serve!
