    Directions:

    Sift flour, corn meal, baking powder, salt, paprika, and celery seed. Slightly     beat egg with 1 tablespoon sour cream and add mixture. Stir in milk and     oysters. Drop the fiddlers a few at a time into a deep fat fryer. Fry until     golden brown. Place onto a paper towel to drain with a slotted spoon. Season     with salt.
