["1 c. cornmeal or 3/4 c. stone-ground corn meal", "1 tsp. salt", "2 c. boiling water", "fat (for frying)"]
["Sift the cornmeal and salt together.", "Add the boiling water gradually while stirring into a thick batter.", "Drop spoonfuls into a hot skillet with a thick film of fat on its bottom.", "Turn when the bottom is browned; cooking time should be 3 to 4 minutes per side.", "Drain on papers before serving.", "Some cooks form the batter into oval pones instead of dropping spoon-scoops into the skillet."]
