2 cups cornmeal
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups hot water
1 tsp. soda
Corn Shucks (boil about 10 min. before using)
Mix dry ingredients.
Add water till mixture is stiff enough to handle easily.
Form small oblong balls the size of a tennis ball and wrap in corn shucks.
Tie in middle with corn shuck string, or use oblong white rags (8 x 10 inches) cut from an old sheet.
They are much better boiled in shucks.
Drop covered balls into a deep pot of boiling water.
Cover and cook 40 minutes.
