How To Make old fashion cornbread with a twist

Step 1

Heat enough oil in a large heavy bottom skillet on high heat.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together cornmeal and salt. Stir in enough boiling hot water that the cornmeal mixture comes together enough to spoon (not too thick and not too thin.
Step 3

When your oil is hot but,not smoking,you can either spoon your mix in the oil or shape each piece.Fry in oil about 5 minutes depending on how think the cakes only flip once.you want them to be golden and crispy.They absorb alot of oil so be sure to drain on paper towels.
Step 4

Note: These little gems are good served with beans.I make them when I have beans and fried chicken.
