- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon white sugar

Directions
Accumulate all of the components. The cornmeal, salt, and sugar should be mixed together in a medium bowl. To the water that is already boiling, add one tablespoon of bacon grease, and stir until the bacon grease melts.
In a big skillet, pour bacon oil to a depth of half an inch, and then heat the skillet to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
A heaping spoonful can serve as a measuring guide for shaping the cornmeal mixture into twelve balls that have been flattened.
For approximately five minutes, fry the food in heated oil, flipping it once, until it is crisp and golden brown. While still warm, drain on paper towels and serve.
Notes
Not finding self-rising cornmeal? Try this…Per cup self-rising cornmeal: Start with 1 cup finely ground plain corn meal in a bowl. Return 1 tablespoon of cornmeal to the bag. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon baking powder to the bowl. Combine.
This recipe need two cups. Water requirements depend on cornmeal grind. The mixture should be barely pourable and thick like pancake batter.
