Paula Dean Corn Fritters

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, can't beat good food and good times with the ones you love. It is also a perfect time to try out some new recipes. I found this receipe on The Food Network from Paula Dean. It tastes a lot like corn bread only better!

In a medium bowl combine, combine cornmeal mix, flour, sugar, and salt. In a small bowl, combine milk and eggs. Add milk mixture to cornmeal mixture, stirring well. Stir in butter and corn.
