Add the cornmeal and salt to a medium bowl and whisk.
Add in the honey and hot water and mix together until a thick dough forms.
Scoop out ¼ cup portions and shape them into round patties about ¼ inch thick.
Heat the bacon grease or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once hot, add the dough patties to the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown on one side.
Flip them over and continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes until golden on both sides.
Remove from the skillet and serve hot with butter and honey as desired.
