These fritters pair perfectly with breakfast or brunch! Top them with a fried egg or some salsa & sour cream! My husband tops them with honey for a sweet & savory kick!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup yellow cornmeal

1/2 cup flour

1 cup buttermilk (regular milk will work too)

3 tablespoons melted butter

1 large egg, lightly beaten (room temp)

1/2 cup sharp cheddar, grated

2 jalapeño peppers, diced

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 pinch salt

To Make: Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar & salt in a mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine milk egg & melted butter.

Fold in dry ingredients with wet and combine.

Fold in cheese & jalapeños.

Scoop the batter into a greased skillet (medium heat) & lightly fry for a few minutes on each side until golden brown.

Enjoy!
