Looking for a unique and delicious way to enjoy cornbread? Look no further than these mouth-watering Maple Cornbread Fritters! Made with a blend of sweet and savory flavors, these fritters are the perfect appetizer or side dish for any meal.

Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- Oil for frying

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying the fritters. You want it to be around 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop the batter into the hot oil. This will help ensure that each fritter is the same size and cooks evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. This can cause the fritters to stick together and not cook properly.

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, egg, and melted butter.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
4. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
6. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
7. Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve the fritters warm with a drizzle of maple syrup on top.
