Grit Fritters image

I had these grit fritters at Bone's in Atlanta. They are rich and creamy and easy to make. I found the original recipe online at http://www.americascuisine.com/dynamic/dsp_recipeDetail.cfm/recipeId/93/category/appetizers/city/atlanta Bone's serves them as a side item without the sauce. Try these at home - you won't be disappointed!
