Directions: |
Directions:Line a baking tray with paper towels and then place a cooling rack on top. (this is where the patties will drain once fried. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk cornmeal and salt.
Heat some water in a kettle until boiling. (water must be boiling hot in order to soften the cornmeal properly)
Stir in enough boiling water to form a soft dough that can hold its shape. (I usually need about 1/2 cup + 3 or 4 tablespoons) *see note
Stir in melted butter.
Let dough rest for about 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, add about a 1/4 inch of canola oil to a cast-iron skillet and heat to about 375 F.
When the oil is hot, shape the cornmeal mixture into patties and place them into the hot oil. (I find it easier to lay the patty on the end of a rubber spatial and then slide them off into the oil)
Let them fry for about 2-3 minutes or until the underside is golden brown and then flip.
Remove from oil using a slotted spoon and place on the prepared tray to drain.
Enjoy hot or room temperature.
Serve with a savory meal or enjoy them plain with honey butter. |
