I’ve been doing that second version for many years, except using plain old yellow cornmeal. I’ve always called it “fried mush”. Best to use a very hot cast-iron skillet, to get it good and crisp.

My mom made “fried mush” also. Loved it, and yes a good cast iron skillet is great.

My mom had two cast iron skillets. One with a flat bottom and one with a bottom shaped like a “grill”, with ridges, just right for grilling meat.
