Fried Cornbread
This is an old Louisiana family recipe. In Louisiana, they serve this with boiled cabbage, turnip greens, black-eyed peas, and butterbeans. It is delicious, but takes practice to make it just right.
1 loaf
1 1/2 cups	self-rising cornmeal
1/2 tsp	salt
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 golfballs, 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.
