Servings: 6
Equipment
- 1 cast iron skillet or pan
- 1 Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 c cornmeal
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 c boiling water
- 1 tsp sugar optional
- 3 tbsp oil olive oil, vegetable or bacon grease
Instructions
- In a bowl add cornmeal and boiling water together, stir. Add in sugar and salt, stir. Let sit as you heat the pan and oil.
- Use your hands to form dough into patties, about 3 inches in diameter. The thicker they are the longer they will take to cook and middle may not get done to your liking. I prefer 3/4" thick for best results.
- You can deep fry these with a pan full of hot oil or just saute with a few tbsp until golden brown on both sides and cooked thru into the center.
- I prefer to use bacon grease and saute over medium high heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy and fluffy/moist in the center.
