Corn Dodgers

[sequoia]

In both of the True Grit movies and in the book they talked about corn dodgers. Is this a real thing and how do you make them?

Ain't nothing special just hot water cornbread. Haven't made any in a while. Cornmeal, salt to taste, little butter and hot water. Pour in water mixing slowly. Pat into small patties and fry.

Called them hush puppies where I came from. Back in the colonial days they were also known as hoe cakes.

Our hush puppies are seasoned differently than corn dodgers. Also has green onion in them. And has egg and buttermilk in the mix like regular cornbread.

Extra good when fried in a pan that just had salt pork fried in it. Yummm.
