This recipe has been in my family for several generations. In Louisiana, we serve this with boiled cabbage, turnip greens, black-eyed peas, and butterbeans. It is delicious, but takes practice to make it just right. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups boiling water |
Directions:
1. Mix cornmeal and salt together in large mixing bowl.
2. Pour approximately 2 cups boiling water over dry ingredients.
3. Mix well.
4. After the mixture cools slightly, shape mixture into balls about the size of golfballs, one at a time. You must wet your hands with water before you make each ball.
5. Flatten the ball with your fingers.
6. Fry in skillet (preferably cast iron) with about 1/2 inch of hot oil.
7. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
8. Delicious!
