Corn Fritters

We are going to have, to go with our burger, we're going to have corn fritters

Oh, I love corn fritters. I do too. I'm going to show you something, and then you tell me what you'd rather do. Okay

What we want to do is just cut our corn off of our cob

Wow, there you, okay. And see, this bunt pan makes a bowl to catch it in

You have to have two of them? I notice there's two. No, you don't have to have two. Okay

Unless you got a bunch of corn. I'll do this one. Okay

I'll try it anyway. And I'll move over here and do this one. Okay. I guess it's all right to get this little bit here on the board so we can..

Yes, it's all right. I've got this big old strapping man in here that can clean up

Okay, good. Is that Michael? That would be you. No, that would be you

Now, I'll save these, Casey, and give them to Lady Bird. Oh, okay

Who's Lady Bird? Lady Bird is my blue and gold macaw. I have a blue and gold macaw

Shut up. No, I just got one. But she's pitiful. Is she a stressor Has she plucked her feathers She has no feathers on her belly back or legs She looks like she ready for the oven So we need a half a cup of flour This is a half a cup I think

Yes. Now we need a cup and a half of self-rising milk. Okay

And while you're doing that, I'm going to measure us out a cup of buttermilk. This is not so easy here

I'm going to put a half a teaspoon of salt. Okay. And if you'll come over here and break two eggs

And all we do now is just mix those up. These are really like hush puppies with fresh corn and cheese

I love this. This buttermilk reminded me of my daddy when he used to love cornbread and buttermilk

You know what? My grandma and great daddy and mom and daddy, yes, you can go ahead and mix that

I can see them right now. I know, right? It's Sunday night for dinner

They would have a big old glass of buttermilk and crumble up their cornbread

All right I need for you to grate us about a cup of that Fontana cheese And we take this off right Yes take off the wax So Casey Yes ma How old were you when you made your first money when you did it professionally I was like 16 years old

I was in a local band, and we played at this. It was called Sparks Park

And where was this? It was in Miami, and they paid us $16. It was four of us, and we got $4 apiece

I was a professional. And how long did it take you after that before you felt like you were going to be successful

I had my first number one record when I was 22, so 16, six years later

What was the first number one? There was a song I wrote called Rock Your Baby by George McRae. Oh, my gosh

Woman, take me in your arms, rock your baby. Yeah, it was a great song

Love that song. I know. It was a great song. It's a sexy song. It was like number one in 51 countries

Wow, that's incredible. Do we have a cup to measure this out

You know what, I'm probably just gonna eyeball it. I'm gonna try a piece of this cheese, I'm hungry

Can we just mix out all that? Yes, so just mix that up

All right, I'm gonna show you a little trick. Okay, I think I've got this pretty good

You wanna dip your spoon in water Okay And then that water will help it slide off Your spoon looks much better than mine No it doesn

I'm gonna let you drop, and I'm gonna start turning. Okay. Because if these don't get turned quickly, they'll get heavy on one side, and then you can never get them turned

If you want to stir with one hand and drop with me. I'm still looking

All right. I'm still here cooking. It's now the Casey Show. These are looking good

I can't wait to taste them. Okay, how you coming with a fritter? Last one

Okay, whatever makes you happy. Look at that. Oh, those look great

Write me a song real quick. Hey, Paula, pop your corn fritters

Pop your corn fritters. Pop them now. All righty. Look at these corn fritters

I hope they're delicious. Actually, I hope they're done. Oh yeah, that's done

That's good. Do you like it? Oh my God, this is delicious
