How to Make Fried Cornbread
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of cornmeal and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually pour in approximately 2 cups of boiling water into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
- Mix thoroughly until a slightly sticky dough forms. Let the mixture cool slightly (about 10-15 minutes).
- Wet your hands with water. Shape the cornbread mixture into golf ball-sized balls, one at a time.
- Gently flatten each ball with your fingers to about ½ inch thickness.
- Heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the cornbread rounds in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Remove the fried cornbread from the skillet and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! This Louisiana classic pairs perfectly with your favorite Southern sides.
