Ingredients
- A generous drizzle of oil
- A full cup of water
- A heaping cup of golden cornmeal
- A pinch of flavorful seasoned salt
Step 1
Begin by heating a drizzle of oil in a trusty cast iron skillet over a gentle medium heat. Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, let the water come to a cheerful boil.
Step 2
Next, grab a bowl and add a generous heap of cornmeal. With care, slowly drizzle the boiling water into the cornmeal, stirring diligently until a velvety mixture forms. Don't forget to sprinkle in some seasoned salt to jazz up the batter.
Step 3
Using your artistic flair, drop dollops of the batter into the shimmering oil using a spoon. Let them sizzle until the edges turn a delightful shade of brown, approximately 5 minutes. Gently flip the bread over and press it down with a spatula to achieve a satisfyingly flat shape. Continue to fry until the bread is cooked through and the edges are perfectly golden, about another 5 minutes. Once done, transfer the crispy creations to a waiting paper towel to soak up any excess oil. Enjoy your homemade fried delights!
