Hey guys. I was getting tired of the same old recipes that I use every year, and then I found this website that has a bunch of favorite celebrity recipes. So far, I've tried Faith Hill's cornbread, Tim McGraw's Chicken and Dumplings, Gwyneth Paltrow's Flounder with Miso Sauce, and Oprah's Southern-Style Corn Fritters (which I posted the recipe for below). They were all great. Here's the link:

Try them and tell me which ones you liked. Happy Holidays!
Oprah's Southern-Style Corn Fritters:
Just right with maple syrup, fruit syrup, or honey! Can it get any sweeter?
What you need:
2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup self-rising flour
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg, beaten
2 ears corn, shucked, or 1/2 cup frozen or canned corn
2 Tbsp. melted unsalted butter, optional
Milk or water, if needed
What to do:
Microwave the corn on high for 2 or 3 minutes. Slice off the kernels, and set them aside.
In a bowl, mix the cornmeal and the flour well, using a wire whisk. This will make your fritters very light. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and the egg. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry—Oprah likes using a fork. Don't worry if the batter isn't completely combined; you want to be careful not to overmix it. Fold in the corn and add the butter if desired. If the result is thicker than pancake batter, thin it with a little milk or water.
Heat a skillet or a griddle to medium, spray with Pam, and add spoonfuls of batter. Cook the fritters for 2 minutes per side. A great way to tell if they're ready to turn is to look for little bubbles all over the surface. You might have to make a few fritters before they start coming out perfectly. Serve with honey or your favorite syrup.
