1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
about 2 cups boiling water

Mix cornmeal and salt together in large mixing bowl. Pour approximately 2 cups boiling water over dry ingredients. Mix well. After the mixture cools slightly, shape mixture into balls about the size of golf balls, one at a time. You must wet your hands with water before you make each ball. Flatten the ball with your fingers. Fry in skillet (preferably cast iron) with about 1/2 inch of hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
