The basic proportions of this recipe produce an excellent corn cake, but on its own, it does produce a bland product. I added salt and pepper, and would add some cayenne next time. Also, I fried them in bacon fat, which added a lot.
this recipe can only serve as a base as it is pretty bland. next time will add jalapeno, SALT, and possibly cheese.
Delicious and quick -- some of us ate them with yogurt and cilantro; others with maple syrup. Next time I'll add some salt to the batter, and perhaps some chopped jalapenos.
We had them just as the recipe stated. We used a tiny bit of pure maple syrup on each fritter. Wonderful! Will make this a staple in our home.
Trying to understand the absence of salt in this recipe? Verrrrry bland.
Great vehicle for leftovers. I added a handful of grated cheddar, some coarsely chopped green beans, and red pepper flakes. (Also, as everyone has already pointed out, salt.)
