Hot Water Corn Bread

[Alligator]

Did anybody's grandma make "Hot Water Corn Bread"? The hot water cooks the corn meal in the middle some before it goes in the frying pan. Love it!

You should know if you are going to cook or freeze your batch of cornbread. I cooking start your grease on medium heat in a large frying pan about 3/4" deep.

If freezing have a cookie sheet covered with wax paper, so when frozen they will be easy to remove without breaking them. Freeze on cookie sheet for 2 hours.Remove from freezer and store in ziplock bag in freezer.

2 Cup Cornmeal
3/4 Tbl spoon Salt
2 Tbl spoon Sugar
1 Tbl spoon Garlic Powder
1 1/2 Tbl spoon Baking Powder
3/4 Tbl spoon Onion Powder

3 cups of water (read before mixing)

Mix dry ingredents thouroughly in mixing bowl. Bring 3 cups of water to a full boil and add to mix while still boiling stir in throughly. This mixture should have the consistency of thin cream potatos, it should not let a normal weight table spoon stand. If it does add a very small bit of water. If it is too thin (does not lump in a spoon) add a bit of corn meal.



Once the propper consiatency is reached, get a full drinking glass of cold water and a small spoon. Dip the spoon in the cold water and dip 3/4 of the spoon of cornbread. Place in grease or on cookie sheet, and repeat.

Add 1/2 cup of onions and 2 tea spoons of Ketsup makes great Hush Puppies

Many people here, for some reason, have an aversion to corn meal.

And many of them live where Corn is a vital farm crop.  Indians were eating Corn long before ethanol was invented.  Heck, they invented Grits and Cornbread.

Made some yesterday, poured it into a bread pan, and after it was cool, put it in the frig. This morning I sliced it and fried it over low heat, added Maple Syrup, and a fried egg. That's breakfast.  8)

It would be hard for me to imagine cornbread made without yellow cornmeal, buttermilk, and an egg.   ;D

Anybody else like chunky cornbread, as in - corn in the cornbread?

I do and a little extra sugar sometimes to make it a desert treat.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Never heard of it.  :

[BradMarks]

Cracklin' cornbread?   Bacon rems fried and then added to the cornbread mix?  I dunno.

That ain't corn bread it's corn cake.

*Magicman* I agree exactly except for one thing. I love yellow corn meal but I like the buttermilk flavored meal and can't find it in yellow.

I never throw buttermilk away and the older it is the better it is to me. Use the buttermilk flavored cornmeal, buttermilk, little oil and an egg in my cornbread. My 17 year old daughter will eat it plain swearing it is the best cornbread she ever had. Nothing for her to finish her meal with a big slice of it and no desert.

She saw me looking at those castiron pans with the deviders for individual pieces one time but it was too small.

Come fathers day this year she had been helping clean out my exwifes mothers house. She found a bigger one and snagged it for me. Best present I ever got. Just the thought she new I wanted one and remembered it. She doesn't work so really doesn't have much spending money but when whe saw an opportunity to snag one for her dad she did.
