Directions:
Pour about 1/2 inch of oil into a heavy-bottomed skillet. Heat the oil until glistening but not smoking. In a large bowl combine the self-rising corn meal with about 1 1/2 cups of boiling water. Stir to combine. The batter should barely be pourable. Add additional water until you reach the consistency of very thick pancake batter. Start with less and add more if you need it.

Once the oil is hot, pour or spoon about 1/4 cup of the batter into the oil. Cook 3 to 5 minutes or until brown around the edges then carefully flip over and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Work in batches, adding additional oil if necessary. Drain the cornbread on a plate lined with paper towels. Serve warm.
