"This is a very old fashioned recipe. The cornbread is shaped into little cakes and fried, rather than baked. They are served with maple syrup over them." |

1 cup |
|
cornmeal |
|
1 tsp |
|
salt |
|
1 tsp |
|
white sugar |
|
1 tbsp |

DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, salt, and sugar. Add boiling water and shortening; stir until shortening melts.
Pour oil or bacon fat to a depth of 1/2 inch in a large skillet and heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Shape cornmeal mixture into flattened balls using a heaping tablespoon as a measuring guide. Fry each in hot oil, turning once, until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve at once with maple syrup or honey.
NOTES: If you double the sugar for flavor becareful of a quick burn time.
