Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Add a little butter to the skillet.

Add chopped onions and frozen corn niblets to the skillet and cook for about five minutes.

In a bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and 1 egg until mixed.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just moistened.

Check the heat of the skillet by inserting a wooden spoon; if it sizzles, the grease is hot enough.

Use a spoon dipped in water to drop the batter into the hot grease.

Fry the fritters for about three minutes on one side before flipping them to the other side.

Continue flipping the fritters until they are golden brown on both sides.

If desired, add fontina cheese to the remaining batter and mix in.

Serve the fritters warm.
