Directions

In a large bowl combine the cornmeal, salt, sugar and baking powder.
Pour the milk and water into a sauce pan and heat until small bubbles start to form around the edge of the pan.
Immediately pour the heated milk mix into the cornmeal mixture and whisk together until the batter is smooth.
Add butter or bacon fat to a cast iron skillet and heat to medium high. Spoon the batter onto a hot skillet, forming 3-inch cakes and being careful not to crowd the pan. Cook 3-4 minutes perside until golden brown.
Serve immediately with butter and chopped green onion on top. Serve with Muddy Pond Sorghum Syrup or maple syrup. For a smoky and savory twist try Sugar Bob's Maple Syrup.
