    Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add boiling water, and stir until you
    get the consistency of pancake batter. Use a wooden spoon to do the stirring.
    Heat about a 1/4 inch of oil in a cast iron skillet on medium-high heat. Use
    about a quarter cup of batter per cake. Pour the batter into your hot oil, and
    fry the cake on both sides. Delicious with fresh honey.
