Notes
The batter will be sticky, so feel free to oil your hands (butter, canola, or cooking spray all work) to keep the batter from sticking in your hands.
Use yellow cornmeal vs white to ensure that nice golden color.
Eat this as a bread accompaniment to any meal. You can also make a big batch of them for snacking, dipping, or my favorite sopping. Pairing them with a big bowl of beans or collard greens allows you to sop all the delicious liquid from each.
If you make these on the sweeter side, they are damn near as good as your favorite pancakes.
