Southern Fried Cornbread

This was a staple of the Old South!
  Enough hot oil to be at least 3 inches deep

1 cup white selfrising corn meal

1 tsp. baking powder

1 cup boilling water

    When oil is nearly hot enough to fry cornbread in, add boilling water to meal along with baking powder. Wet your left hand with cool water. Scoop up a heaping tablespoon of hot meal mixture; using wet hand form the top into a smooth oval.
     Ease off the spoon into the oil. Repeat until you have about four or five inthe oil. Brown on both sides. Remove to a platter lined with paper towels.
     Repeat until all are cooked. This is great with Stews, Chili and soups.
