This is a recipe that my grandmother taught my mom to make and it originates from Indians (aka Native Americans) during very poor times to help fill empty stomachs. Corn was a big staple of Indian tribes and this was one of the variations of "Poor Man's Bread". Also, due to white men's introduction of lard, this was pan fried traditional but to cut down on the cardiac arrest risk I used canola pan spray.
2 c. cornmeal
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 pinches baking soda
1/4 c. white rice flour
2 T. potato starch
1 scant cup of water
1/4 of bacon drippings or oil
1/2 c. rice milk (you can use whatever milk your family drinks)
Whisk dry ingredients together to get out any lumps, add wet liquids. Heat up frying pan and drop 1/4 c. blobs onto a hot skillet and cook the way you would pancakes. Serve savory with rice and beans or serve as a breakfast dish with butter and syrup.
