Time 22m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

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

Steps:

  • 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.
