In a bowl, mix all wet ingredients (milk, egg, oil).

Add the wet mixture to the cornmeal (and salt if using).

Stir just until incorporated — don’t overmix.

In a cast iron skillet or pan cover the bottom with your choice of oil.

Heat on medium low until hot.

Pour a 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet.

Fry on one side until brown then flip.

Once brown on that side remove from the skillet and place on a wire rack or paper towel lined plate to cool.
