HOT WATER CORNBREAD

Just put some corn meal in a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and slowly add hot water as you mix meal with your hand until the consistency forms little thin biscuit shapes. Throw them suckers in a hot iron skillet, sizzling with oil, lard or butter, and you've got some good eats, 'specially if you slather some Steen's syrup on top!
