Sounds a little like a dish called "hot-water cornbread" in my family.
You just mix white corneal with water
to the point that you can make balls out of it. Then you flatten the
balls to pancake size with a spatula and cook them in a skillet greased
with bacon fat till they're crusty brown-and-black.
