a.k.a. HUSH PUPPIES in the United States.





HOT WATER CORNBREAD:


2 cups WHITE degerminated cornmeal


1/2 stick butter


1 tsp. salt


Boiling water


You will need a large seasoned cast iron skillet for cooking the mix. Lightly grease the skillet with corn oil (or lard) to prevent pones sticking to pan. Put kettle on for boiling water and preheat oven to 400 degrees.


In large mixing bowl put 2 cups white, degerminated corn meal, 1/2 stick butter and 1 tsp. salt. When water is at rolling boil, pour enough over the ingredients in the mixing bowl to gain the consistency of mush. Hand beat the mix until all the butter is melted. Drop the mush by large spoonfuls into the preheated, greased skillet on the stove top. Then, move the skillet to the oven for further cooking until the cornbread is brown on top--usually 30-45 minutes. The cooking time is determined by the amount of water in the mush and the thickness of the pones, so start looking in the oven after the corn bread's been cooking about 30 minutes. It should be brown on top.


Serve with additional butter and/or salt.

HOT WATER CORNBREAD


1 1/2 cup corn meal


1/2 cup flour


2 teaspoon baking powder


1 teaspoon salt


1 egg


3/4 cup water or milk


Combine all ingrdients, break your egg in a measuring cup beat seperately from the mixture. Add to the mixture. Continue to mix until thick. Have your oil in skillet or we use a deep fry, at at least 325 to 350 degrees. Drop by spoonfuls into hot oil. When they become the color of light honey remove from oil. Drain on paper towel.


Note: variations of this with the addition of 1 t. jalapeno juice, and slivered onion. Maybe a pinch garlic


powder, onion powder.





HUSH PUPPIES


1 cup self-rising white cornmeal


1/2 cup self-rising flour


1/2 teaspoon salt


1 teaspoon sugar


1 egg


1 cup buttermilk, more or less


1 to 2 tablespoons green onion, minced


dash hot pepper sauce (optional)


pepper or garlic powder, if desired





Combine the cornmeal and flour with the salt and sugar. Blend in the egg and add enough buttermilk to make a thick batter that will drop slowly but easily from a spoon. Add any green onion and other optional ingredients you want, then drop teaspoonfuls into fat (about 375 degrees) at least 3 inches deep. Fry until golden and drain on paper towels. Keep warm in a low (150 degrees) oven until ready to serve.
