October 3, 2017 at 9:42 amThanks for your recipe for CRISPY FRIED SOUTHERN CORN FRITTERS! They look so nice and crunchy! I have a question for you, would these freeze well? I would think so but I am always interested in what you have to say. Rosie. One other thing, is there any remote chance you can change this gray lettering to black. I find it very hard to see so I hope my spelling is okay. Love getting your email recipes, keep them coming 🙂
