Dixie Crossroads Corn Fritters

Lennie's Note:

I have been meaning to post this recipe for a long time; these are absolutely delicious! Dixie Crossroads is a fantastic seafood restaurant in Florida, and they serve these before each meal. At the restaurant you can buy the fritter mix, but they also give out the recipe so you can make them from scratch.

I can't beliebe I found this! I'm 35 weeks pregnant and although I think the craving issue subsides, all I have wanted is Dixie Crossroad corn fritters! My family used to take my sister and I there all of the time (are they still open?) and we love these! I didn't want a corn fritter unless it was sweet which ost weren't. I'm making these tonight! Thanks again for posting.

Love them!!! Anytime my family would take a car trip to Orlando or to the NE...we would make it a point to stop by Sandpoint. After they closed down, it was Dixie Crossroads for their corn fritters. I made this recipe and I could not keep them on the table long enough before they were all gone ;)
