That looks great. I grew up poor and we didn't have money for milk and eggs so my granny would make cornbread this way. I still think it's the best way to be honest. Thanks for sharing.
Girl, they don’t know about this. My family from the south Alabama and my Grammy and Auntie made these with them green field peas and collard greens. Lord rest their soul. This makes my mouth water❤😂❤😂❤😂
Hey Lexi Russell, you are absolutely right girl! This is definitely an old school experience that everyone needs to try! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! Be blessed!
I was born during the depression in 1934, you do the math, and this was a wonderful item I loved all my life. Mom taught school, for which she didn’t get paid for two years, and this was an everyday bread my early childhood. Free meal, eggs, milk, a chicken a week and mill ground flour. Thank you soo much for the memories!
Awww Marilyn I'm so happy I was used as an instrument to bring back your childhood memories. Knowing that the depression was quite a time and place where food and money was quite scarce and mothers had to make what they could with what they had. Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your comment, it means a lot. Be blessed!
I am not raised southern, I have heard of hot water cornbread but I really had no idea about it and how it's made. I stumbled upon your video and it looked so good I just had to make some. Well I want you to know I did just make it and I had to tell you I LOVE IT. OMG it's so crispy and delicious. Thank you so much for "teaching" me. I chose your video because you are so kind and nice to listen to. Thanks again!
Hey Roberta Sirks, I'm so glad you tried and enjoyed it! That just made my day! Now you can add this to your own family traditions! Thank you so much for your kind words and for stopping by my channel! Be blessed!
I grew up with plain white stone ground meal, pinch of salt, boiling hot water, and cooked in bacon gold (grease). We ate with seafood and vegetables. I liked them with just butter on them. What memories! Makes me miss my Mama and Grandma😢 Appreciated all the good food I learned to prepare!!😊
You're welcome Juanita Stinson, and thank you for stopping by my channel and leaving a comment. I'm so glad this recipe sparked fond memories of your mom and grandmother; those types of memories are priceless! Be blessed!
Juanita, I grew up eating...but didn't pay attention to the recipe or the method. Nannie would cut the round into two discs butter it and hand it back to me and it was DIVINE. My mother SWEARS her mother didn't add flour. She said it was Martha White brand White corn meal. "mom are you sure it wasn't White Corn Meal Mix? (flour etc added)" No, it was JUST cornmeal. So I have tried and tried with just corn meal and it bombs everytime. If I add flour I get binding and it works. But it NEVER tastes like my nannies did. Juanita, can you vouch for my mom, for sure, it was JUST corn meal? Should I keep tryiing with just cornmeal? 🤔 Thank you!
@@b.walker5955 Your mother is correct. There was no flour, just stone ground corn meal, white, salt and really hot water. You added water until it was the consistency you need to make a small pancakes. Individual sizes. I’ll have to make some again and pay attention to the amounts. I use plain cornmeal all the time. I use yellow to make corn bread (yellow) that I am baking in the oven. Old School Cook
@@jleef506chuck OH THANK YOU! You are such a love! Drats, gonna have to tell her AGAIN, she is right. I just bought Bobs Red Mill organic corn flour for the cornbread in the oven, just as you cited. It is currently all I have. But WILL be on the look out for out for the white. I am sure most would say it doesn't matter, but the yellow is all I have tried and fail each time. Even if my cake is close to looking right, it doesn't taste the same. The inside should be creamy, dough like and the out side crunchy. The one element I can't duplicate is the fat. None meater here, can't use lard or bacon grease and choose to use Avocado oil. ~ this young whipper snapper likely can't get that OLD SCHOOL COOK nirvana you exist in, but I will do you proud by trying. THANKS AGAIN! Really grateful.
My mama made it with coarse ground white meal, a little salt and water, fried in oil. Wish l could find coarse ground white meal today. The old time grist mill where my mama grew up closed down a bunch of years ago. Miss the mill and the meal!
My grandma use to make hot water cornbread with collard greens, smoked neck bones, fried chicken and baked Mac and cheese! Those was the good ole days!
We had that with syrup for dinner many times back home in NC. We didn't have much but we made due with what wr had and NEVER complained about eating the same thing because we were EATING. I miss my mother and the south. We used the butter flavored Crisco or lard
Nothing better than good ole dog bread. My mom was born in 1918 my older sister 1938 I think anyone born in that era in my part of the country had this down pat. Could get sick eating so many of these thanks for a trip down memory lane. Will be heating the grease tomorrow
I make mine about the same but a few years back I started adding a wee bit of baking powder, it gives the interior a fluffier center like traditional cornbread and the outside is still crispy. I generally make mine with less water but think you have the right consistency, my family did not make hot water cornbread, so I had to learn on my own, thank you so much
@@ATasteofCafeNyLouare you using self rising flour n corn meal when adding the baking powder? I'm asking because I use self rising but I don't add baking powder and I will if it makes them fluffier. 🙃 mines are delicious 😋 but I definitely don't mind improvements. 😋
@@loripatton5638 I definitely know that. I guess I should have asked if she's adding extra baking powder. The reason I buy self rising is because it's already added.
Looks delicious. Grew up with this in Virginia. My family never called it hot water cornbread, just fried cornbread. I always preferred it to baked cornbred. Mom always preferred white cornmeal and would fix half this way, then add more water to the mix, so it would be thinner and spread out in the pan when fried. That was for me, because I preferred it thinner and crunchy. Now a plate of fried cabbage or collards and we be in business, yum!
my granny from Panama City FL made these & I tried to get the recepe but didn’t, we used to look forward to them at get togethers, hers were shaped like pancakes. She could also take a lima bean & make me wanna eat beans bc she new how to make them so good. Im not a cook but one day when Im feeling energy & motivation I want to make these. 😋
My great gramma made these. We made them with less water though. We put some bacon grease in the iron skillet dampened our fingers and pressed them out with our hands. You could see prints of your fingers. We fried them till golden and drained them on a paper sack. Delicious Also good made with minced onion in the batter. Texas
When I was a kid every Friday my mother cooked hot water cornbread, fried fish, and french fries. She cooked all three in the same lard and cast iron skillet. We drank kool-aid or lemon aid with our meal. When you dropped the batter in the hot oil I was a child in my mother's kitchen again. Thank you.
Hi William Mitchell, I'm glad this recipe brought back memories of your childhood, it's truly makes me happy to hear these types of stories. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
I like your no nonsense approach to cooking, many measure everything which is fine but getting the right thickness to a batter is the most important thing. I didn't grow up with this in the North so much but some of my favorite food is just simple cooking! Thanks for sharing!
Finally, i found real Hot Water Cornbread. I'm from St. Louis. Went to school in Nashville, TN in the early 90's. I never had that type of cornbread before. The place was called 'Wade's Kitchen' in Nashville that made it. All these St Louis soul food places swear that the flip jack style cornbread is Hot Water. I've been telling them that's not it. I'm saving your post. Thanks for sharing.....
Grew up poor in southern Ohio. Had a grist mill next town over, and cornmeal was affordable. My Great Granny made these daily for us, to keep us full, and fried them in lard or, if lucky, bacon grease. Bless your heart for the recipe and the memory.
This was perfect. I never knew how to prepare this delicious cornbread before. My mom and other elderly ladies served it quite often when I was younger. We ate them with whatever greens we served and even with other "savory" dishes. Thank you for the recipe. I took a chance to look up one from TH-cam and again...this was perfect!
We call this cone-pone; my aunt, who’s from Louisiana would make this on Sundays and serve with greens; she never added flour; they were always crispy and delicious 😋
Hi M Jones, I appreciate you stopping by and sharing this fond memory. It lets you know how good these are when the thought of them take you back in time. Be blessed!
I love that you cook the way we do at home not putting every carefully measured thing in separate dishes-ok, I guess for people who have prep staff and dishwashing staff
Thank you Theresa Hemminger, definitely an eyeball everything, but when doing videos I have to figure out a way to provide some type of measurements, which is a little difficult. If you look at any not her videos you may see some prep with seasonings. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
Y U M !! i made the mistake of watching this at 10 p.m., and it made me so hungry i wanted to chew my fingers off. i can hardly wait to cook up some navy beans and greens and make this cirnbread thanks so much for sharing this recipe : it must never fade out of our collective national cookbook.
Hey Paul Pierson, I hope you make it then and enjoy them. If and when you do, please let me know how you like them. I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
This is exactly how my Gramma taught me to make Johnnycakes, with one additional step: adding milk to make a pourable batter, which if you hit the sweet spot of consistency AND the perfect temperature of pan and melted butter (more like frying a pancake than a fritter), you would get a thin corn patty with brown, crunchy, lace edges. Our family's roots are on Block Island, RI - a tiny island, 3 miles by 7 miles - 13 miles off the southern Rhode Island coast. Even on this tiny island, there were vastly different Johnnycake recipes, I wonder if one of the others is more like this than my family's thin and lacy style. Anyway, this is fascinating, and I will DEFINITELY try this recipe!
Hi Songdog Woolley, Im so happy this video brought back fond memories of your Gramma! I too have seen many versions of Hot Water Cornbread and Johnny Cakes, which I've never had; but I'm sure it's good! Thanks for stopping by my channel and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
My mother used to make Hot Water Cornbread. Never added anything But Boiling Water and either a Tad of Salt or Sugar.Her Mother Taught her, and she taught me and I have taught my Daughters. I have made them that since I was 13. 😊 57 years Never tried it with flour. Depression Hot Water Cornbread with no Flour or with, depends I guess on what was available at your disposal. Lol. Yours looks Awefully Good. I sure know they will go Good With Beans n Greens. That's what we had with ours. Sometimes just that Cornbread. Thanks for sharing your recipe. 🙏🙏 Guess I may try your Recipe and see how it tastes. Thank You.
Hi Theresa Logsdon, I make hot water cornbread both ways. Just thought I try it with flour to see if there was a difference in the taste. There isn't. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your fond memory. Be blessed!
I never heard of it didn't watch my mom make ING that kind but cornbread thank you for sharing I m going to try it also. Will let you know how it turn out.😚❤
I made some! And I loved it!I added a little sugar, fresh grind cornmeal from the fields of Alabama! and Goya fine cornmeal, plus a little flour, they turned out delicious!
I believe we inherited a version of this recipe from our African ancestors in Puerto Rico. They’re called surullos and the recipe is almost identical except we cook it on the stove and then we shape them into small cigar like shapes and then we fry them. Some people like a piece of cheese in the middle but I prefer them sweet. They’re so good.
Hi Jacqueline Gonzalez, I've never heard of surullos before; but I'm sure they're delicious! I think I would love the ones with cheese on the inside; since I love cheese! Thank you so much for stopping by my channel! Be blessed!
Awww wendy sanders that's so sweet. I'm happy my voice brings back memories of your sweet grandmother! I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
My grandmother lived her whole life in a small town in southern Alabama. When I was a kid (late 60s), she used to make these. We'd have them with fried chicken and lima beans or black eyed peas. Years later I was able to make them from memory but never had a recipe. Hers were always from a coarse meal and usually white, maybe ground hominy. Crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Thanks for bringing back some great memories.
We are so spoiled/blessed today. I remember by grandmother making bbq with regular sliced bread. No buns. So many old ways of doing things that are just as good!
Certainly one of the best meals from my grandmother. Ham, collards, beans, stewed tomatoes and of course cornbread. The only difference is she smashed them in the frying pan with a fork so you could see the fork marks in the top.
Hey LookingForOneTrueChristian, I'm so happy this video brings back fond memories of the past. No appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
My neighbors were from Kentucky and there was always cornbread in a cast-iron skillet sitting on there stove. We'd grab a slice to snack on. I'm going to try this method. It looks so crispy and delicious. Kinda like mush which we had at my home.
I've always used just cornmeal & boiling water, shape by hand, drop in hot oil & fry. That's the single parents way, my kids have always loved it, there grown now & still love it.
Hi Karene Heath, In reviewing comments I've found many versions of this recipe: but I think, at the end of the day, they turn out crispy and delicious. Thanks for stopping by my channel and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
If I'm not mistaken, that's how my granny made corn meal mush, cept the frying. She did do hot water cornbread, but usually when guest came by, unexpectedly and us boys had other stuff to do when she did that. Thank you so much for doing cornbread.
I haven't had Hot Water cornbread since I was 11 years old. My grandma made this all the time for me !! She was 53 when The Good Lord called her home and it's been that long since I've had some. Making this for myself Sunday !!
I’ve never had hot water cornbread but my mother and aunts and uncles love it. I’ve never seen them eat it with “food” but they do crumble it up in a glass with buttermilk and eat it that way.
Looks delicious❤❤. Im Puertorican and we shape them like little long logs and we call them sorullos we make them sweet or salty and sometime we put cheese in them or if we ar making cod stew well boil them and honey hmmmm. This recepie reminds me of it.❤❤❤❤
OMG!!! I followed this super easy recipe and made some hotwater cornbread patties. They turned out exactly like the ones in the video.This is the BEST cornbread I've ever had! Seriously, I can't stop eating them!!! P.S. I added sugar to mine. Thanks for the recipe! ❤️
Saved this and I'm gonna make it this weekend. However I'm gonna make it Mexican style and add some chipotle seasoning, oregano and diced jalepenos then top with Monterey Jack just as it finishes frying. Imagine how good these patties will taste after giving them a dip in some chili con carne.
TY for showing a step-by-step of this recipe. My grannie used to make this for us kids when we visited. She always had a pot of navy bean soup on the stove to go with these crunchy delights😊👍
You're welcome Ree Ritz, I'm glad this video brought back fond memories of your grannie! They definitely taste good with beans! Hmmhmm! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
My mom from NC made cornbread similar to this but instead of flour she put in 1 crumbled slice of stale bread and did add some milk after water. Would add water until just wet and then milk until like very thick cake batter. She used that same cornbread to make her cornbread dressing at Thanksgiving. All so good.
Hey Hilary H, in reading through comments, I've seen many different family versions of this recipe, and it's quite interesting to see. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your mom's version. Be blessed! 🥰
I have seen 50-11 recipes for this and you are the first that makes it right! These aren't supposed to have leveling nor a bunch of ingredients. Bless you! 💙
Hi Lucy Lugano, I've received many comments giving suggestions spooning; and I appreciate them all. Thanks for stopping by and sharing a comment. Be blessed!
My Granny used to make this fried in steak grease or bacon grease she would form the patties by hand. She always split them in half and we buttered them or spooned red beans on them. Had a little bottle of chilipetine peppers in vinegar on the table that was our hot sauce. We had beehives on the ranch so we always had honey dessert was honey and churned butter mixed up slathered on a piece of hot water corn bread. We called them pushers sometime because you used them to push your food onto your fork for a big bite. Okra gumbo twice a week too.
Perdido Camaronero, I'm so happy this recipes brings back memories of your Granny's cooking! You know ain't nothin' like Grandma's meals! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Be Blessed!
These look great. To all new cooks you may wanna push the meal in with a second spoon to keep from getting grease splatter on yourself The mother in this video is experienced. 😊
These look good. I'll try to make it tomorrow. I've made something similar without the cornmeal. My only suggestion is that once the oil gets hot dip the spoon in it and it'll release the mixture quickly/or not make it stick to the spoon.
Hey jambeauty119, I've received a lot of comments giving suggestions on spooning out my mixture. I made some the other day and sprayed the spoon. It was wonderful. I can't believe I never thought about doing that. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your comment. Be blessed!
Sounds good Aquila Clark! I make it both ways (with and without flour) depends on how I'm feeling! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
I was going to make me a few Pattie’s today but I will do mines tomorrow. It took me forever to learn how to make my own but I finally did it. Hot water cornbread is the best. But I also put two tablespoons of butter in it too.
Hi Michelle Villafane, thank you for your comment, but I'm unable to read it, because I don't speak Spanish. If you're able to translate, that would be great! Be blessed!

Yum yum.....believe it or not my father in law taught me how to make this fried cornbread. Had my in laws for dinner every Friday evening. 😊 Love it with beans + rice., nice and crispy on the outside.
Hi Al Hamp, thanks for stopping by my channel! Yes, these are good with beans and greens, and gold by themselves with some honey on top! Hmmmhmmm good!
Thank you, that is the way to make it. I see all the others try and they add everything and the kitchen sink to the mix but it is only hot water corn bread!!

Hi Pete Tucker, hot water cornbread is definitely a great combination with beans and ham, it's even good by itself! Thank you for stopping by and leaving g a comment. Be blessed!
My mother used to make these all the time as we were growing up. Now, I add a pat of butter and a bit of baking powder to mine for a fluffier and richer patty.
Looks good. Love corn bread, and yours looks great. I am a virgin to collared/mustard greens. I love spinach/kale in all forms/recipes. I want to try collared greens, but the most common method of cooking seems to be to drench it in heavy amounts of bacon/bacon grease to "make it good." I'm not against meat fats (prefer them over seed fats), but I was curious of you knew of a good way to make them that would be a little more diet friendly than the usual classic "bacon collared greens" that I see repeated over and over?
Hi Uncle Bounce, thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. If you're not opposed to meat, I have a Collard Greens video on my page using Smoked Turkey, no bacon. I also have a Red Beans and rice video, this is also a wonderful pairing with Hot Water Cornbread. Let me know if you try either. Be blessed!
Tank you for you love to make this recipe I am 66 years old will be 1 time in my life I tray thes tank you I lost my mum went I was jan girl but never is to let to learn eat well in my time now God Bless you .🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
I learned from grandmother i use same ingredients i do add sugar i use my hands to make patties. I eat with greens or Cabbage sometimes with nothing. Love them
So happy this came up on my suggested videos. I remember having this as a kid. One way we ate them was to put a bit of molasses on them and eat them in place of pancakes on a cold winter morning.
Hi Paula Jones, I'm so happy my video was a suggested video on your feed. We grew up eating this too, and I love, love, love them. I've never tried them with anything sweet on top, but I'm sure it's delicious! I appreciate you stopping by my channel and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
My mom made these all the time, I just loved them! I was trying to make them but it kept failing watched your video and lol I saw what I was doing wrong thanks so much
Just like I remember growing up. Now that I know how it's done I'm gonna try out your recipe when I cook up my next batch of butter beans or snap beans.
Many years ago a coworker brought me this bread, I truly enjoyed it, but all I was told to use was meal, and water, and oil,so it was many years later I came across it on TH-cam called hot water cornbread, to this day I use meal, tap water, not hot,and a ladle mash it down slightly,fry in olive oil,eat them like a snack.Cook this bread often.Meal,tap water, olive oil.When I see the edges have turned brown l use a spatula to turn.
Hi Phyllis Gaines, I've made it with with corn meal before, but then I tried it with flour and I like the way they turned out. It's your personal preference; because they're delicious both ways. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
We call these corn fritters where I'm from, but its basically the same recipe. I don't add sugar but I do throw a dash of cayenne pepper in and then drizzle a little maple syrup or honey over top. So good.
My mother use to make this your real brought back memories. We would have this with fish collar green. Its nice to see that peoples remembers our roots there Nothing like soul food. Yum Yum to my tummy

Mmhhh, now that’s cornbread Most places that offer cornbread is not really cornbread but a corn flavored cake. This is one way here I also like to make up my batter and.bake it in my cast iron skillet sometimes add some fresh jalapeños peppers
We were poor growing up and my mom made something that I think of now and then. I've always wondered what that was. She would put syrup on it. I'm pretty sure this is it! Thank you for sharing the recipe. I've got a try them.

Looks delicious they look like salmon patties as well
Thank you for saying that

So I have tried and tried with just corn meal and it bombs everytime. If I add flour I get binding and it works. But it NEVER tastes like my nannies did. Juanita, can you vouch for my mom, for sure, it was JUST corn meal? Should I keep tryiing with just cornmeal? 🤔 Thank you!
@@b.walker5955 Your mother is correct. There was no flour, just stone ground corn meal, white, salt and really hot water. You added water until it was the consistency you need to make a small pancakes. Individual sizes. I’ll have to make some again and pay attention to the amounts. I use plain cornmeal all the time. I use yellow to make corn bread (yellow) that I am baking in the oven. Old School Cook
@@jleef506chuck OH THANK YOU! You are such a love! Drats, gonna have to tell her AGAIN, she is right. I just bought Bobs Red Mill organic corn flour for the cornbread in the oven, just as you cited. It is currently all I have. But WILL be on the look out for out for the white. I am sure most would say it doesn't matter, but the yellow is all I have tried and fail each time. Even if my cake is close to looking right, it doesn't taste the same. The inside should be creamy, dough like and the out side crunchy. The one element I can't duplicate is the fat. None meater here, can't use lard or bacon grease and choose to use Avocado oil. ~ this young whipper snapper likely can't get that OLD SCHOOL COOK nirvana you exist in, but I will do you proud by trying. THANKS AGAIN! Really grateful.
My mama made it with coarse ground white meal, a little salt and water, fried in oil. Wish l could find coarse ground white meal today. The old time grist mill where my mama grew up closed down a bunch of years ago. Miss the mill and the meal!
My grandma use to make hot water cornbread with collard greens, smoked neck bones, fried chicken and baked Mac and cheese! Those was the good ole days!
Hey Vikki Carr, I'm glad this recipe brings back fond memories of you Grandmother. You need to make you some.Thanks for stopping by. Be blessed!
All mac n cheese was baked back in the day and there wasn't a cheese sauce packet either. You had to make that from scratch in your gravy pan.
Must have been nice to have chicken too, the neckbones were our meat. Not complaining because I loved it and that's the way I cook it today. 🙂
Besides the food, it was the 💕 LOVE
Stop it! You are making me hungry.
We had that with syrup for dinner many times back home in NC. We didn't have much but we made due with what wr had and NEVER complained about eating the same thing because we were EATING. I miss my mother and the south. We used the butter flavored Crisco or lard
Thomas Thames, thanks for stopping by my channel! I'm glad these brought brought back fond memories of your mother and childhood! Be Blessed!
Nothing better than good ole dog bread. My mom was born in 1918 my older sister 1938 I think anyone born in that era in my part of the country had this down pat. Could get sick eating so many of these thanks for a trip down memory lane. Will be heating the grease tomorrow
@cindyforbess8449, Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. I'm so glad this recipe brought back fond memories for you! Be blessed!
I make mine about the same but a few years back I started adding a wee bit of baking powder, it gives the interior a fluffier center like traditional cornbread and the outside is still crispy. I generally make mine with less water but think you have the right consistency, my family did not make hot water cornbread, so I had to learn on my own, thank you so much
Hi Glory Sullivan, thank you for stopping by my channel! Yes, I'm sure adding Baking Powder would make it less dense! Be blessed!
@@ATasteofCafeNyLouare you using self rising flour n corn meal when adding the baking powder? I'm asking because I use self rising but I don't add baking powder and I will if it makes them fluffier. 🙃 mines are delicious 😋 but I definitely don't mind improvements. 😋
And maybe wet the spoon with water so that the mixture does not stick to the 🥄 so much, otherwise, perfect...
@@marketatomlinson2144 self rising flour already has baking power included.
@@loripatton5638 I definitely know that. I guess I should have asked if she's adding extra baking powder. The reason I buy self rising is because it's already added.
Looks delicious. Grew up with this in Virginia. My family never called it hot water cornbread, just fried cornbread. I always preferred it to baked cornbred. Mom always preferred white cornmeal and would fix half this way, then add more water to the mix, so it would be thinner and spread out in the pan when fried. That was for me, because I preferred it thinner and crunchy. Now a plate of fried cabbage or collards and we be in business, yum!
Hi Robert Bass, I love it too, because it's so crispy and delicious! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! Be blessed!
Growing up in N.W. Florida we called it fried cornbread too.
This sounds so good…. Some sliced Vidalia onions and off the vine tomatoes with your menu and I will be in heaven!!!!❤
my granny from Panama City FL made these & I tried to get the recepe but didn’t, we used to look forward to them at get togethers, hers were shaped like pancakes. She could also take a lima bean & make me wanna eat beans bc she new how to make them so good. Im not a cook but one day when Im feeling energy & motivation I want to make these. 😋
You definitely need to make them and make your granny proud! Thanks for stopping, viewing a video and leaving a comment. Be Blessed!
I added chopped jalapeños and whole sweet corn! So good! Thanks for the recipe!
Hey Twisted Artdesigns, that sounds really good! I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
And butter, that really make hot water cornbread good 😌
My great gramma made these. We made them with less water though. We put some bacon grease in the iron skillet dampened our fingers and pressed them out with our hands. You could see prints of your fingers. We fried them till golden and drained them on a paper sack.
Delicious Also good made with minced onion in the batter. Texas

When I was a kid every Friday my mother cooked hot water cornbread, fried fish, and french fries. She cooked all three in the same lard and cast iron skillet. We drank kool-aid or lemon aid with our meal. When you dropped the batter in the hot oil I was a child in my mother's kitchen again. Thank you.

Finally, i found real Hot Water Cornbread. I'm from St. Louis. Went to school in Nashville, TN in the early 90's. I never had that type of cornbread before. The place was called 'Wade's Kitchen' in Nashville that made it. All these St Louis soul food places swear that the flip jack style cornbread is Hot Water. I've been telling them that's not it. I'm saving your post. Thanks for sharing.....
You're welcome harry williams; now you can make your own. I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
Grew up poor in southern Ohio. Had a grist mill next town over, and cornmeal was affordable. My Great Granny made these daily for us, to keep us full, and fried them in lard or, if lucky, bacon grease. Bless your heart for the recipe and the memory.

This was perfect. I never knew how to prepare this delicious cornbread before. My mom and other elderly ladies served it quite often when I was younger. We ate them with whatever greens we served and even with other "savory" dishes. Thank you for the recipe. I took a chance to look up one from TH-cam and again...this was perfect!

I love that you cook the way we do at home not putting every carefully measured thing in separate dishes-ok, I guess for people who have prep staff and dishwashing staff
Thank you Theresa Hemminger, definitely an eyeball everything, but when doing videos I have to figure out a way to provide some type of measurements, which is a little difficult. If you look at any not her videos you may see some prep with seasonings. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
What if your corn meal is self rising,do u still gotta add the flour and baking soda to it...???
I love this!! My family forms them into patties by hand before we fry them. Whew this is good eating. Thanks sis for the video.
Hi Phyllis Russell, thanks for stopping by my channel!

Hey Paul Pierson, I hope you make it then and enjoy them. If and when you do, please let me know how you like them. I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
This is exactly how my Gramma taught me to make Johnnycakes, with one additional step: adding milk to make a pourable batter, which if you hit the sweet spot of consistency AND the perfect temperature of pan and melted butter (more like frying a pancake than a fritter), you would get a thin corn patty with brown, crunchy, lace edges. Our family's roots are on Block Island, RI - a tiny island, 3 miles by 7 miles - 13 miles off the southern Rhode Island coast. Even on this tiny island, there were vastly different Johnnycake recipes, I wonder if one of the others is more like this than my family's thin and lacy style. Anyway, this is fascinating, and I will DEFINITELY try this recipe!
Hi Songdog Woolley, Im so happy this video brought back fond memories of your Gramma! I too have seen many versions of Hot Water Cornbread and Johnny Cakes, which I've never had; but I'm sure it's good! Thanks for stopping by my channel and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
My mother used to make Hot Water Cornbread. Never added anything But Boiling Water and either a Tad of Salt or Sugar.Her Mother Taught her, and she taught me and I have taught my Daughters. I have made them that since I was 13. 😊 57 years
Never tried it with flour. Depression Hot Water Cornbread with no Flour or with, depends I guess on what was available at your disposal. Lol. Yours looks Awefully Good.
I sure know they will go Good With Beans n Greens. That's what we had with ours. Sometimes just that Cornbread.
Thanks for sharing your recipe.
🙏🙏
Guess I may try your Recipe and see how it tastes. Thank You.

I made some! And I loved it!I added a little sugar, fresh grind cornmeal from the fields of Alabama! and Goya fine cornmeal, plus a little flour, they turned out delicious!
I am so glad that you enjoyed it, thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
I believe we inherited a version of this recipe from our African ancestors in Puerto Rico. They’re called surullos and the recipe is almost identical except we cook it on the stove and then we shape them into small cigar like shapes and then we fry them. Some people like a piece of cheese in the middle but I prefer them sweet. They’re so good.
Hi Jacqueline Gonzalez, I've never heard of surullos before; but I'm sure they're delicious! I think I would love the ones with cheese on the inside; since I love cheese! Thank you so much for stopping by my channel! Be blessed!
@@ATasteofCafeNyLou there’s a lot of recipes here on TH-cam. Maybe you can do a comparison video!
Just commented about our way to do it in Puerto Rico! 😊
And then you dip them in a mayo, ketchup and garlic sauce. Delicioso
@@MRRIntel how do you make garlic sauce,

My grandmother lived her whole life in a small town in southern Alabama. When I was a kid (late 60s), she used to make these. We'd have them with fried chicken and lima beans or black eyed peas. Years later I was able to make them from memory but never had a recipe.
Hers were always from a coarse meal and usually white, maybe ground hominy. Crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Thanks for bringing back some great memories.
Hi Craig Bond, I'm glad my recipe hit home and brought back some beautiful memories! Thanks for stopping by my channel!
We are so spoiled/blessed today. I remember by grandmother making bbq with regular sliced bread. No buns. So many old ways of doing things that are just as good!
Yes Green Lantern we are! Kids today don't know about making due with what you've got! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
Certainly one of the best meals from my grandmother. Ham, collards, beans, stewed tomatoes and of course cornbread. The only difference is she smashed them in the frying pan with a fork so you could see the fork marks in the top.
Hey LookingForOneTrueChristian, I'm so happy this video brings back fond memories of the past. No appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment. Be blessed!
My neighbors were from Kentucky and there was always cornbread in a cast-iron skillet sitting on there stove. We'd grab a slice to snack on.
I'm going to try this method. It looks so crispy and delicious. Kinda like mush which we had at my home.
Hi B Rihm thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I appreciate you. Be blessed!
I would also probably throw some onion powder in the batter just to give them that extra restaurant flavor! But they look awesome!
William Papadopoulas, that sounds like a winner! Thanks for stopping by and adding a comment. Be blessed!
Onion powder is amazing.
I've always used just cornmeal & boiling water, shape by hand, drop in hot oil & fry. That's the single parents way, my kids have always loved it, there grown now & still love it.

Looks delicious❤❤. Im Puertorican and we shape them like little long logs and we call them sorullos we make them sweet or salty and sometime we put cheese in them or if we ar making cod stew well boil them and honey hmmmm. This recepie reminds me of it.❤❤❤❤

Hey Anita Brown, I'm so glad to stopped by my channel and tried one of my recipes and enjoyed. I appreciate you. Be blessed!
Saved this and I'm gonna make it this weekend. However I'm gonna make it Mexican style and add some chipotle seasoning, oregano and diced jalepenos then top with Monterey Jack just as it finishes frying. Imagine how good these patties will taste after giving them a dip in some chili con carne.
Sounds good! I always say "take a recipe and make it your own"! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Be Blessed!

My mom from NC made cornbread similar to this but instead of flour she put in 1 crumbled slice of stale bread and did add some milk after water. Would add water until just wet and then milk until like very thick cake batter. She used that same cornbread to make her cornbread dressing at Thanksgiving. All so good.

Hi Lucy Lugano, I've received many comments giving suggestions spooning; and I appreciate them all. Thanks for stopping by and sharing a comment. Be blessed!
My Granny used to make this fried in steak grease or bacon grease she would form the patties by hand. She always split them in half and we buttered them or spooned red beans on them. Had a little bottle of chilipetine peppers in vinegar on the table that was our hot sauce. We had beehives on the ranch so we always had honey dessert was honey and churned butter mixed up slathered on a piece of hot water corn bread. We called them pushers sometime because you used them to push your food onto your fork for a big bite. Okra gumbo twice a week too.

These look good. I'll try to make it tomorrow. I've made something similar without the cornmeal. My only suggestion is that once the oil gets hot dip the spoon in it and it'll release the mixture quickly/or not make it stick to the spoon.
Hey jambeauty119, I've received a lot of comments giving suggestions on spooning out my mixture. I made some the other day and sprayed the spoon. It was wonderful. I can't believe I never thought about doing that. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your comment. Be blessed!

How much baking powder ?
Yes, I noticed there was zero leavening in this recipe.
Looks good. Love corn bread, and yours looks great.
I am a virgin to collared/mustard greens. I love spinach/kale in all forms/recipes. I want to try collared greens, but the most common method of cooking seems to be to drench it in heavy amounts of bacon/bacon grease to "make it good." I'm not against meat fats (prefer them over seed fats), but I was curious of you knew of a good way to make them that would be a little more diet friendly than the usual classic "bacon collared greens" that I see repeated over and over?
Hi Uncle Bounce, thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. If you're not opposed to meat, I have a Collard Greens video on my page using Smoked Turkey, no bacon. I also have a Red Beans and rice video, this is also a wonderful pairing with Hot Water Cornbread. Let me know if you try either. Be blessed!

Many years ago a coworker brought me this bread, I truly enjoyed it, but all I was told to use was meal, and water, and oil,so it was many years later I came across it on TH-cam called hot water cornbread, to this day I use meal, tap water, not hot,and a ladle mash it down slightly,fry in olive oil,eat them like a snack.Cook this bread often.Meal,tap water, olive oil.When I see the edges have turned brown l use a spatula to turn.
