Ingredients:

Serving

fritters
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 small can chopped green chiles or jalapenos
1 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
16 oz cheese, freshly grated ( i use cojack and monterey jack , usually , but almost any similar texture cheese will work
oil to fry
for dipping sauce
1 granny smith or similar tart, green apple, cored, peeled and wedged or roughly chopped
2 roasted red peppers, roughly chopped
1/4-1 tsp red chili flakes (i use my own blend, and i use a heaping t, but it is hot , so reduce , as desired)
1/4 cup honey(or more , if desired, to taste)
1 oz jack daniels whiskey
juice from 1 lemon

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, cilantro, baking powder and salt. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. See Photo
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and fold together gently to combine well. Don't over beat, but make sure it's mixed well. See Photo
Add chilis and cheese and fold.
Let rest about 15 minutes
(Hopefully you've timed it so in this 15 minute, you can finish the dipping sauce, below! :)
Fry in 355 oil for 3-5 minutes depending on the size you make them(see note). It's important to keep the oil temp at between 350-360 at all times.
Drain well and serve with sauce.
For Dipping Sauce
Combine all ingredients except whiskey in heavy sauce pan and simmer about 1 hour, stirring occasionally See Photo. breaking up pieces as it cooks, to distribute the flavors. See Photo
Let cool about 10 minutes then transfer to blender or food processor.
Add whiskey and puree until smooth.
Taste and add more honey, if desired, the blend again.
Sauce can be served warm, room temperature or cold.
**Please note. I like to make fritters using my trigger ice cream scoop, but when they are that large, they are harder to get cooked through without browning too much on the outside. A cast iron pan and a thermometer really are best for this. So, if you're worried, just use a cookie size scoop or about 2T of batter a time...then you just have bite sized fritters! :)
