When oil is hot, spoon walnut-sized tablespoons of batter into your hands and smooth out a bit. (It helps to wet hands first.) Drop into hot oil, a few at a time. Fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Makes about 20.

SOUTHERN HOT WATER CORNBREAD

Steps:

• 1. Bring water to boil. Heat about a half inch of grease in cast iron skillet.
• 2. Mix cornmeal and salt in large plastic (heatproof) bowl. Add enough boiling water to wet cornmeal and make it stick together.
• 3. Chef's Note: We prefer yellow cornmeal as it gives more of a corn flavor when fried. A lot of people prefer white cornmeal. Two big NONO's! NO sugar and NO leavening!
• 4. Rinse hands in cold water to prevent burning and sticking. Take a scoop of cornmeal and pat out with your hands into a pone or patty. Fry. Continue until pan is full.
• 5. Let fry until yellow and firm on one side and then flip to cook other side. I make my pones some thick and some thin to please everyone! Experiment and find the right size to suit your family.
• 6. Let drain on paper towels. Leftovers can be reheated in oven.

HOT WATER CORNBREAD

Steps:

• 1. Put a teapot full of water on the stove to boil. If using a pot, I would probably use at least 2 quarts. You may or may not need all the water.
• 2. (*Note: You can use less cornmeal or more, depending on how many you make. Number it makes, depends on how large you make your "rounds".) Put the cornmeal in a large bowl. DO NOT USE a metal bowl as it will be too hot to handle. Make a "well" in the middle of the meal.
• 3. Put a skillet on stove with enough oil to fry. Just use your judgement on this. Depending on your skillet, maybe an inch. (I just never give thought to the exact amount of oil).
• 4. When water is boiling hot...rolling hard boil....., slowly pour a little in the middle of the meal. Be careful and not let it splash on you. Just judge by the amount of cornmeal you use. Stir the meal into the water. It will get very thick. Slowly add more water until it is the consistency of thick cream of wheat of oatmeal. (The picture pretty well shows the consistency you want it to be.)
• 5. Once your skillet with the oil is hot enough for frying, using a large spoon (I use a heaping tablespoon-actual spoon and not a measuring spoon), drop the mixture into the skillet, being cautious not to splash the oil on you. You can gently spread out a little if it seems too thick. Allow it to fry 'til it loosens from the pan. This should be a golden brown. Then turn it and cook 'til that side is a golden brown, or deeper to your taste.
• 6. Carefully remove from skillet and put on paper towel lined plate. Serve and enjoy...
• 7. Note: When adding the boiling water, if you get it too "wet" you can still use the the mixture. It will take longer to cook and will be thinner as the water cooks off, and be crisper. It will also "spit and splatter" at you when it hits and cooks in the oil. I realize this is not giving "specific" measurements. It really doesn't matter if you use a cup or meal or 4 cups, for a crowd. As long as you have plenty of hot, boiling water and add it slowly. I never use all the teapot of water when I make it. But I make for a smaller number of people now. Please let me know if you have any questions.
