Corn Fritters...Like Hush Puppies Only Awesomer!

I love hush puppies.  I just don't like the fish that goes with them.  And for some reason I feel like there is an unwritten rule that says I can't make hush puppies unless I fry fish.  I know, I know it's free country and I can fry up whatever I want in my kitchen but I always feel like the Hush Puppy Police are out there somewhere, just waiting to pounce on me.  I came across this old recipe for corn fritters and it reminded me of hush puppies without the stigma.  The fritters are light, fluffy and slightly sweet.  A perfect summer side dish.  I served them with honey butter.  You know, just to take the edge off the already deliciousness.  And I can tell you one thing, Mr. Devilish Dish is mighty glad I found this recipe.  Because I walk around constantly saying, "I want hush puppies Daddy." just like Junior says to his father Sheriff Buford T. Justice in Smokey and The Bandit.  Now that I have corn fritters, I don't want hush puppies so much.  Ah...The little things that push that man over the edge!
Okay...Yum!
