Put heavy 8 - 9 inch skillet on burner to heat. Mix together meal and water to make a batter of right consistency to drop from spoon, adding more water if needed so that batter is not too thick. Pour oil about 1/4 inch deep into skillet. When oil gets hot, drop batter with a soup spoon making little cakes or patties. Turn when golden brown and fry second side until golden brown. Remove and drain on brown paper or paper towels.
