• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 5-6

Ingredients

• 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!
