Hot Water Corn Bread

Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat. Add corn meal and salt.

Mix briskly with a spoon until mixture is smooth and thickened.

Mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape when dropped from spoon.

Heat skillet with oil until hot. Spoon a big tablespoonful of corn meal mixture into hot skillet and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, turning once until bread is brown and crispy.
