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

  1. Combine the cornmeal, Creole seasoning, onion, and sugar in a medium bowl. Pour in boiling water and shortening; stir until the shortening melts.

  2. 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.
