Oprah's Corn Fritters

Directions

1. 1
   Microwave the corn on high for 2 or 3 minutes.
2. 2
   Slice off the kernels, and set them aside.
3. 3
   In a bowl, mix the cornmeal and the flour well, using a wire whisk.

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and the egg.
6. 6
   Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dryOprah likes using a fork.
7. 7
   Don't worry if the batter isn't completely combined; you want to be careful not to overmix it.
8. 8
   Fold in the corn and add the butter if desired.
9. 9
   If the result is thicker than pancake batter, thin it with a little milk or water.

11. 11
