A very simple recipe. These crispy little patties are fried and served warm, drizzled with honey, maple syrup or honey butter. Ingredients:
1 2/3 cups cornmeal |
3/4 teaspoon creole seasoning |
1 tablespoon minced onion |
1 3/4 teaspoons white sugar |
5 teaspoons shortening |
1 1/4 cups boiling water |
lard for frying |
Directions:
1. Combine the cornmeal, Creole seasoning, onion, and sugar in a medium bowl. Pour in boiling water and shortening; stir until the shortening melts.
2. Melt lard or bacon fat to a depth of 1/2 inch in a large skillet; bring to a temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) over medium-high heat. Shape heaping tablespoons of the dough into flattened balls (thickness is a personal preference). Fry in hot oil, turning once, until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
