In a medium bowl, whisk together cornmeal, sugar and salt. Pour in boiling water and mix until you form a paste.

Gradually add in milk and stir, stopping occasionally to check the consistency of the batter, It should feel like thin mashed potatoes. You may need to add milk.

In a cast-iron skillet or on a griddle, melt 1 tbsp butter. Spoon tablespoonfuls of the batter onto the skillet, spreading them out about a 2-inch diameter. Cook on each side until golden brown, about 4-6 minutes. Make sure you have a generous layer of butter on the bottom if the skillet when making these so they soak up the flavor.
