Fried Cornbread (Southern Style)

Seasoned Cook's Note:

A SOUTHERN bread for sure! Goes well with any boiled leafy greens, cabbage, lima beans, black-eyed peas, fried fish or pork chops. Just can't beat it!!! Just like Grandma use to make!

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 5

• 1 cup self-rising cornmeal mix
• 2/3 cup water
• 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions:

1. Mix first two ingredients to make a batter --- add more or less water depending on how thick or thin you want your cornbread patties. The best way would be to mix in small amounts of water at a time to get the consistency you want.
2. In a skillet or frying pan bring oil up to medium heat and test 1/2 teaspoon drop of batter, You do not want it to fry too fast. I normally cook mine on #6 and then furn down to #5 on my stove. Drop by tablespoons full and pat out with back of spoon to make a pattie. Turn over when bottom is light brown.
3. Serve and enjoy this tasty bread!

You can't beat fried cornbread! I've lived in AL all my life, but I was only introduced to this delight about 5 years ago. Great way to change up the already wonderful taste of cornbread!

Girl, this was in the money. I haven't had these in more than 20 years. Will make these again. UPDATE: I made these before and didn't put a picture to it. I love these. I had one with some cane patch syrup. That is the only kind of syrup toeat with biscuits and fried cornbread. Made for Cajun/Creole
