Recipe Summary Hot Water Cornbread

This is a very old-fashioned recipe. The cornbread is shaped into little cakes and fried, rather than baked. They are served with maple syrup or honey.

Ingredients | Hot Water Crust Pastry Vegetarian

1 cup cornmeal

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon white sugar

1 tablespoon shortening

¾ cup boiling water

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, salt, and sugar. Add boiling water and shortening; stir until shortening melts.

Pour oil or bacon fat to a depth of 1/2 inch in a large skillet and heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Shape cornmeal mixture into flattened balls using a heaping tablespoon as a measuring guide. Fry each in hot oil, turning once, until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve at once with maple syrup or honey.

You can use bacon grease in place of the shortening, if desired.
