    Tips for making the BEST hot water cornbread
    1. Add the boiling water a little bit at a time. You only want to add the water until you are able to form a soft dough. This amount usually changes for me by a tablespoon or two. If you add too much water you won't be able to form the soft dough.
    2. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes. This gives the hot water a chance to really soften up the cornmeal which will result in the perfect "fluffy kinda creamy" inside texture that is classic to a perfectly cooked hot water cornbread.
    3. Use a rubber spatula. I've found that placing the formed patty on a rubber spatula and then slowly sliding it into the hot oil works great. That way I don't have to handle the soft dough and it retains its round shape.

      I was so happy to see this type of cornbread recipe. BECAUSE my Mom and Abuela (grandma) made these for us when we were kiddos. They called these “Gorditas” (chubby girls)! They sometimes they added jalapeño 🌶️ bits, bacon 🥓or dehydrated/dried shrimp 🦐! Yup shrimp!!
