1/2 c. water
4 Tbsp. melted butter or bacon drippings
4 Tbsp. maple syrup or honey
1/2 tsp. salt (optional)

In a bowl, combine cornmeal, water, butter or bacon drippings, syrup and salt.

In a large skillet, heat 2 Tbsp. oil over med.-high heat. Drop batter by Tbsp.ful into hot oil. Flatten with spatula and fry cakes until crisp and browned on both sides. Add more oil as needed.

Serves 4 to 6.
