Old-Fashioned Hot Water Cornbread Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups self-rising cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 - 2 cups boiling water
Oil for frying
2 tablespoons bacon fat, optional

Steps:

  • Heat oil and bacon fat in a deep fryer or in a pot or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. (It needs to be deep enough to cover the spoons of batter.) Whisk the cornmeal and salt together. Using a spoon to mix, stir in just enough boiling water for the batter to stick together. It should be about the consistency of mashed potatoes. (I used about 1 1/4 cups.) When oil is hot, spoon walnut-sized tablespoons of batter into your hands and smooth out a bit. (It helps to wet hands first.) Drop into hot oil, a few at a time. Fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Makes about 20.
