Ingredients
-
1 ⅔ cups cornmeal
-
¾ teaspoon Creole seasoning
-
1 tablespoon minced onion
-
1 ¾ teaspoons white sugar
-
5 teaspoons shortening
-
1 ¼ cups boiling water
-
lard for frying
Directions
-
Combine the cornmeal, Creole seasoning, onion, and sugar in a medium bowl. Pour in boiling water and shortening; stir until the shortening melts.
-
Melt lard or bacon fat to a depth of 1/2 inch in a large skillet; bring to a temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) over medium-high heat. Shape heaping tablespoons of the dough into flattened balls (thickness is a personal preference). Fry in hot oil, turning once, until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
