Easy as falling off a yucca-

This is one of the older recipes in my scattered collection. These are are good for a filling and quick energy lift.

1/2 cp coarse ground yellow corn meal
1/2 cp pozole' flour [this may require a search. I make my own. I buy dried hominy and using my indispensable coffee grinder, grind the hominy into a flour]
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne (sub: a very good chili powder)
1 tsp good honey
1-2/3 cp canola or vegetable oil [do not use olive oil] (sub: use a 0 trans fat vegetable shortening)

1. Mix all dry ingredients together in bowl
2. heat 1 cp of oil
3. add rest of oil and honey to dry mix....blend well
4. with some flour on your hands roll 1 tsp of mixture into balls or footballs or any geometric shape that excites you...set on floured surface.
5. test oil...drop a small amount of mixture into oil..if starts cooking, its ready!
6. slowly put 'balls' into hot oil (you know what I mean!)
7. stir with spider or similar utensil until the corn balls turn a light golden brown. This could take less than a minute.
8. place on paper towels [option: drizzle with remaining honey while still warm]
9. enjoy!
