Steps:
- Prepare the cornmeal by bringing the 2 cups of milk or water and the salt in a saucepan over the fire or stove almost to the boil.
- Immediately turn down the heat as you add the 2 cups of cornmeal a little at a time so it doesn't form clumps. Only add the sugar if you are making the corn dodgers to be eaten as a sweet treat.
- Stir intermittently while cooking to make sure it doesn't catch on the bottom.
- Once cooked remove from heat and allow to rest for around 5 or so minutes.
- Stir in the baking powder.
- Heat and grease your skillet or dutch oven with bacon fat like the pioneers would have used, or coconut oil as a healthier alternative - and drop in spoonfuls.
- If using a cast iron skillet fry for around 10 minutes, turning after 5 minutes when they start to go light brown around the edges. I found they are quite delicate and tend to want to stick to the base so take care when turning.
- If using a Dutch oven place the lid on and bake for 10 minutes - checking periodically and removing from the heat when turning light brown around the edges.
- Serve with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon, or you could add butter and a strawberry jam. If you made them without sugar they can go on a plate with a serving of cowboy stew.

Tips:
- Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
- Be sure to drain the corn kernels well before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent the batter from becoming too wet.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the corn dodgers tough.
- Cook the corn dodgers over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Serve the corn dodgers hot with butter, honey, or your favorite syrup.
