Spoon Bread

At least that's what I think it is! It was close to supper last night when I wanted to make corn muffins and there wasn't enough time before the food was ready and then I remembered this which I haven't made in years.

1/2 cup corn meal

1/2 cup flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/6 cup of sugar

1 egg

1/3 to 1/2 cup of milk

paprika to taste

olive oil or other oil for frying

• Heat 1/4 inch of oil in bottom of fry pan hot enough for frying but not super hot because bread has to cook through

• Add large spoons of batter and flatten out a little and fry until golden on each side. Two or three minutes per side.

• Makes about 8 pieces about 2 inches in diameter. Serve with butter and to accompany dinner.
