These fritters were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of fritters, but these were really good. The batter was light and fluffy, and the onions were perfectly cooked.

These fritters are a great way to use up leftover cornbread mix. I always have some on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

These fritters are a great appetizer or side dish. I served them with a dipping sauce made from sour cream and salsa.

I tried making these fritters in the oven, but they didn't turn out as well as when I fried them. I think frying is the way to go.

I found the fritters to be a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of oil next time.
