In the realm of Southern cuisine, cornbread reigns supreme as a delectable staple, deeply rooted in tradition and bursting with flavor. Its variations are as diverse as the regions they hail from, each boasting unique characteristics that set them apart. This article offers a culinary journey into the world of cornbread, presenting two distinct recipes that showcase the versatility and appeal of this beloved dish.
The first recipe, Corn Pone, embodies the rustic charm of traditional Southern cooking.

This unique method results in a cornbread that is remarkably light and airy, with a tender crumb and a delightful crunch from the golden-brown exterior. Its versatility shines through as it can be enjoyed on its own, crumbled into soups and salads, or even paired with sweet toppings like honey or jam.
Whether you prefer the classic Corn Pone or the innovative Fried Hot Water Cornbread, these recipes provide a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Southern cuisine. So gather your ingredients, fire up the oven, and embark on a culinary adventure that celebrates the timeless allure of cornbread.
HOT WATER CORNBREAD
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!

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.

CORN PONE
My husband's grandmother gave me this corn pone recipe years ago. She always made it with bacon drippings, which is heavenly, but if you're trying to be a little more health-conscious, you can use canola oil or a combination of the two. I cook it until it's crisp almost all the way through. It's delicious hot, warm or cold. -Tina Quiggle, LaGrange, Georgia
