List of Ingredients



• 2 cups yellow or white corn meal
  
• 2 cups boiling water
  
• 1 tsp. salt
  






Instructions



1. Mix corn meal and salt in mixing bowl. Add boiling water all at once and stir hard to remove lumps. The boiling water will partially cook the corn meal – making a thick corn meal “mush” (yep, you just made polenta).
   
2. Let the mush cool just enough to handle in your bare hands and start shaping into patties.
   
3. Fry these patties in hot oil or shortening – about ½ inch deep in a cast iron skillet if possible. If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, well just go out and get one. The patties are done when they are a golden brown.
   
   
4. Drain on paper towels and server with butter or margarine.
   






Final Comments


I put my hands under running water from time to time – it prevents burning my hands and keeps the mush from sticking to my hands. It’s good if the patties aren’t too smooth – they should have slight ridge from your fingers. These ridges make them crispier and keep the butter from sliding off.
