Recipe(tried): Corn Fritters

Deb-Don't they have great restaurants in Pigeon Forge? I love the Old Mill. We have a chalet there and go as often as possible. I don't have the Old Mill's recipe but this is the one my Mom always used. I do have the Apple Fritter recipe from the Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant in Pigeon Forge and will also post it.
