1. Mix 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of yellow cornmeal, and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a bowl.

2. Take a 1-quart container of water and pour just enough of it into the mixture to make a heavy dough.

3. Roll the dough into balls about 1/2 inch to 1 inch in diameter.

4.Mix the rest of the water with 1 cup of molasses and pour it into a
pan.

5. Put the pan on the stove and bring the molasses and water to a boil.

6.When the mixture is boiling, drop in several doughballs, but don't
overcrowd them. Cook them for 2 to 3 minutes.

7. Cook the rest of the doughballs, a few at a time, in the same way.


You can store the cooked doughballs in the leftover water and
molasses. When using doughballs or stinkbait (a smelly
catfish bait) use small treble hooks. A treble hook has three
points. Some have a spring wrapped around the shank to
help hold the bait.
