Ingredients

  • 2 cups yellow cornmeal
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3 -4 tablespoons bacon drippings (or vegetable oil)
  • cane syrup, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine the cornmeal, salt, baking powder, milk or water in a bowl and mix to blend. The mixture will be like damp sand.
  2. Heat the drippings in a cast-iron (preferably) medium-size or large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn meal mixture and allow a crust to form on the bottom, much like you would do to make cornbread.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, scraping the bottom of the pot with a metal spatula to stir and fold the crust, breaking up large lumps, until the mixture is golden brown and resembles crumbled cornbread, about 15 minutes.
  4. Serve hot, with cane syrup, or honey drizzled over the top. Maple syrup if you must - LOL!
