Making corn crisps is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, baking powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
2. Add Water: Gradually add warm water to the dry mixture, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be moist but not sticky.
3. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a clean surface and knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.
4. Roll Out: Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball) and flatten each one into a thin disc using a rolling pin.
5. Heat the Oil: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking.
6. Fry the Crisps: Carefully place the flattened discs into the hot oil, frying them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crisp.
7. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the corn crisps from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
8. Season: While still warm, sprinkle your desired additional seasonings on top for extra flavor.
9. Cool: Allow the corn crisps to cool slightly before serving.
