HOT WATER CORNBREAD



Hot Water Cornbread image

Hot Water Cornbread has long been a staple in Black American cooking, and in households throughout in the South. It's made with only a handful of ingredients, fried in fat instead of baked, and is more similar to a hush puppy than a bread. White cornmeal is preferred to yellow in the South, but you can use either as long as it's finely ground. Some just use cornmeal. Others add a little baking powder for added texture. But the magic ingredient is really the boiling water, which cooks and softens the cornmeal so that the frying is just to crisp and color the exterior. This dish is a favorite of my southern in-laws, who love to prepare it for each special occasion and many days in between!

Time 20m

Yield about 8 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 6

Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup white cornmeal, such as Martha White (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup boiling water, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • Heat about 1 cup of oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
  • Add the cornmeal, baking powder, salt and sugar to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Stir in the boiling water. If the dough is still too dry to come together, add more boiling water in 1-tablespoon increments.
  • Using a 3/4-ounce cookie scoop, scoop the mixture into the palm of your hand and flatten into a 2-inch patty. Working in batches, fry the patties until lightly golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the cornbread to a paper towel-lined plate using a fish spatula. Serve immediately.

SOUTHERN COUNTRY CORNBREAD



Southern Country Cornbread image

Watching my grandpa make cornbread over the years I am now soo sad I never asked him for the recipe, that and his biscuits are now lost forever, I am trying to recreate them and this is the closest I've come to the cornbread. Though it is nowhere near what he made. It is a tweaking of several recipes and of what I remember, and do not add sugar!! I will cry if anyone does!!

Yield 1 pan, 5-8 serving(s)

3 tablespoons shortening (I use crisco butter flavor, or bacon drippings are awesome, too!)
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°.
  • Put the shortening in a cast-iron skillet and place in the oven till melted.
  • Combine the cornmeal and flour. In seperate bowl whisk eggs until foamy then whisk in buttermilk. Add the rest of the dry ingredients to the cornmeal mixture.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients. Mix should be pourable. Take the hot skillet from the oven, pour the batter into the hot pan directly onto the melted hot shortening, this is what makes it sooo yummy!.
  • Place back in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown or when knife inserted in center comes out clean.
