Couche-Couche
from Shadows-on-the-Teche Cookbook
1 1/2 cups cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups very hot water
2 eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons oil
Sift together cornmeal, flour, and salt. Add the hot water to make a light batter. Break 2 eggs into the mixture and beat well. Add the baking powder. Put the oil in a heavy iron skillet. When very hot, pour in the batter, lower the heat, and cover tightly. Cook 5 minutes (until crust is formed at the bottom of the pot). Stir occasionally until cooked, but not dry.
