Description

This fried bread is a staple at Mama’s house with chicken and dumplings, or any other meal for that matter. Make plenty, it will disappear quickly!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Boiling Water
  • 2 cups Self Rising White Cornmeal Mix
  • 2 cups Canola Oil

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, gradually add the boiling water to the cornmeal. Mix until water is absorbed and mixture is stiff enough to hold together when you make it into a patty. Let the mixture sit for a minute to cool enough to handle. In a deep cast iron skillet, pour oil to about 1 inch deep and heat over medium-high heat. Shape patties out of the mixture, in an oval shape and about the size of your palm. Dip your hands in a bowl of cool water as you do this to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands. You can adjust the thickness of the patty to suit your taste, keeping in mind that the thinner it is, the crisper it will get and the thicker it is, the longer it will take to cook through. Mama always made hers thin, about 1/2 inch or so, because Daddy like them crisp. Place in the hot grease and fry on each side 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on a plate with paper towels and serve up! You will probably have to cook these in batches, so keep an eye on your grease that it doesn’t get too hot.
