Sat knows what it is. You get a pot of water boiling, then start adding corn meal and flour to it while stirring with a whisk. About 4 to 1 corn meal to flour. As it thickens it takes a wooden spoon to stir it. Add butter, salt and pepper and let it stand for several minutes. Then deep fry by the scoop.

My first wife was from SC and used to make that. Put in a skillet of hot grease like a pancake and fried it. Man that's good. Collard Greens and fried Fat Back.

Exactly. And Granny used to dice up some onion in the batter.

That is how my MIL fixed it, like a pancake except it was crispy. We even got a restaurant here that serves it. We never made it up and fried it like hushpuppies, she just mixed up the batter and poured it into a cast iron skillet with some bacon grease. Dang, may have to fix some for dinner now.

U guys sure do know how to make me hungry and its snowing like mad in nc

My mother used to make it and it is good with vegetable soup and homemade potatoe soup also, that brings back memories Scott.

My mother-in-law calls that pan bread &yes it's good.

Looks lip smacken good

My mother use to make them patties and called them cornbread fritters

Is that the same as Fried Mush ?

I've made them n called them Johnny Cakes.

All of the above. After reading this thread I made a batch with some fried fillets last night. Thanks for reminding me how good they are, whatever you call them. :biggrin
