My husband believe it or not makes this recipe. It has been handed down from his Great Grandparents!! **Note: you have to use real buttermilk liquid in this. I try it with powdered buttermilk and the recipe wasn't the same.

I'm not a big fan of cinnamon sugar, so I topped my fry cakes with powdered sugar instead. They were still delicious!

These fry cakes are a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables. I sneak in some mashed sweet potatoes, and they never even notice.

I made these fry cakes gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend. They turned out great! My whole family loved them.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I substituted flax eggs in this recipe. They worked perfectly, and the fry cakes were still delicious.

These fry cakes are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I always have some leftover after Thanksgiving, and this is a delicious way to use them up.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fry cakes didn't turn out as good as the ones in the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These fry cakes were a bit too greasy for my taste, but they were still pretty good. I think I'll try making them again with less oil.

I'm not usually a fan of fry cakes, but these were surprisingly good. They were light and fluffy, and the cinnamon sugar topping was the perfect touch.
