Hot Water Cornbread

Hot Water Cornbread

5 from 1 vote

Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup cornmeal
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • boiling hot water
  • oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Add enough peanut oil, vegetable oil or canola oil to a skillet to fry the cornbread. Heat to medium high. You don't want it hot, because the outside will brown before the inside is done.
  • Bring a cup of water to boil (you may not need all of it). Combine all the ingredients.
  • Pour the hot water a little at a time into the mixture until completely combined. Your dough will be soft enough to form a disc with your hands. Too much water and you won't be able to do that.
  • Take golf size balls from the dough and form into a disc or a cylinder shape. Gently add to the hot oil and fry until golden brown.
