- OLD SCHOOL HOT WATER CORNBREAD
This is something I grew up eating as a small town country boy
It's so easy and cheap to make
You can eat it with greens or butter and syrup
1 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 tablespoon shortening
3/4 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 in in cast iron skillet
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( I DONT LIKE MINE THAT BROWN BECAUSE I EAT MINE WITH GREENS), about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Eat with greens or syrup and butter
this recipe will make about 8 cakes

We had this growing up, but no sugar, just salt and pepper! I still make it. Sometimes I fancy it up with red pepper flakes, garlic and onion powder. Butter on top of that hot water cornbread! Cabbage or Mustard, Spinach & Collard mix. Sliced garden onion and tomatoes, glory!!
Chef Jeffrey, this is truly old school. My grandmother used to make this for a quick dinner through the week. A lot of your dishes bring back so many memories of my grandmother. Thank you for making old school meals. Have a great blessed day.
I 💯% agree w/your comment,Ervia
Oh boy my mother made hot water cornbread with beans ,greens and rice sure was delicious. Thanks 4 sharing one of your parents favorites...chef Jeffery stay blessed.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
I remember the struggle. When you can enjoy eating a mayonnaise sandwich, you know the struggle.
Cane syrup on this stove keep it soft to pour out.
You are sharing the culture of our people to share with the world. The cooking history. So keep it going because it means a lot.
Your welcome
Southerners culture?
Brother Jeffrey, what we did have was being black and proud 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💯💯👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾🙏🏽thanks for all of your cooking videos my mother would cook the exact same down home country way 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
My mother was the queen of the hot water cornbread. And I keep my syrup near the stove so that it doesn't harden and become like sugary . Thank you for the recipe 😊
I love you say, "grew up poor. .." photos of the orchard have my mom as a child playing with no shirt, I was born into a house that didn't have floors -- just dirt. We were poor. My grandma, my aunt's, my mom... They all made this.
Good morning Chef Jeffrey! Missing my mom this morning. I never got the recipe from her for hot water cornbread and here you are preparing it this morning. This was the way her family made it in North Carolina and that flavor was out of this world. A little fried fish, greens and pot liquor. You always hit it out of the park. Thank you as always for bringing back wonderful memories I miss her so much. Have a blessed and great day and take very good care.
Man, I'm pushing 71, and this takes me back to the days of great eating. You know just growing up with a garden what God gave you and yours'!
My grandmother, mother and aunts would fix hot water cornbread with fried chicken, fresh fried corn and cabbage with tomato and onions. Love the meal, and I love and miss the ladies ❤😢
I grew up on hot water cornbread because my Mom makes the best! It’s one of her signature recipes. I’m gonna share this video with her. And you’re right, Chef, it goes really well with some good ol’ soul food cabbage! It goes good with black eyed peas and greens, too.
Somerville, Tennessee...🕊RIP Grandma 👵🏾 and PaPa 🧓🏾
Hello Chef Jeffery! Awesome video making hot water cornbread! Love hot water cornbread made with the white cornmeal for smothered cabbage or mixed greens!❤
Maybe that cane syrup was kept on the stove to keep it from becoming hard; will keep it so you can pour when needed!
Blessings to you and family!💝

Memories of mommy and grannies. They called it dog bread. I cooked it as well. Definitely good with cabbage, greens.
Loved it with pinto beans.
All I can say is YES LORD
Yes, my mom used to make hot water cornbread too! I still make it today. I love them with Turnip Greens! Thanks for sharing Chef! 🙂
Hope you enjoy
My mom made hot water cornbread, and I make it all the time! I love it crispy and butter on top!
Country food, indeed. Almost like big hush puppies. I'm born and raised in VA. I wasn't brought up on any kind of cooking.... homemade or otherwise but my husband was who is also VA born & raised. We've been together so long I was able to enjoy a lot of years of his mom's and aunt's cooking. His aunt used to make what she called hoe cakes but there was no corn meal in them, she used flour. She might have used self-rising tho. She was one of those country cooks who was taught to measure with her hands starting when she was 7 or 8 yrs old. Her grandmother taught her from her bed. Their grandmother couldn't walk at that point so she started teaching the oldest girl how to cook. That's why I love your channel and to see these old recipes. These old school country recipes are gonna be lost one day. My adults kids like it when I cook them but they aren't interested in learning how to make them themselves. So thank you for keeping these alive for me.
Got it! My ex-husband use to make hot water cornbread for our dinner every Sunday. His was to perfection! We always had family and friends over almost every Sunday and everyone loved his hot water bread. I couldn't make them to save my life! That is until I followed your recipe just now. I followed your instructions to the tea and I finally mastered this tree recipe. On a sad note, I have no greens, cabbage or beans to go with my bread.😢 Thanks Chef for sharing your mouth-watering recipes! God Bless you!
I grew up in the country. I was raised up on this, so I understand and appreciate the recipe. Thank you
OMG! My late father would make these every Saturday morning for breakfast, he would shape them between to tablespoons, so they would be shaped different, we never went hungry, and never knew we were poor. We were a big family. All our friends would come over to eat them, with a bowl of beans. We thought we were eating cowboy food. I still make them when I make Chile. I sometimes put cheese in the center. wow such fond memories. Thanks.
I love corn meal, in any shape or form. Yes, I am a cornmeal girl! I appreciate seeing your Mom's technique, so, thank you very much Chef!
Now this is something completely new to me. Always enjoy learning from you.
In my family if we had leftover polenta (yellow firm grits for you in the South) we'd slice it and fry it for breakfast and eat it with sorghum or white Karo syrup. I'm thinking this would be real similar.
You keep cane syrup on the stove top to keep it liquid.
Yes
My grandma use to make biscuits from scratch and had syrup on the side. Delicious 🤤 ❤
Pour that lovely syrup right on top❗ Yasss 🤤😁❗
I like the energy the brotha has while cooking
Nothing like hot water corn bread! Very simple and tasty.
I LOVE hot water cornbread! With a bowl of collard greens....soaking that bread in the pot liquor. Man that's good!!!
Hot water cornbread scrumptious.🤗
Chef Jeffery, I Add Green Onions In My Mix, And It Taste So Good Especially With A Good Pot Of Pinto Beans, Or White Beans With Hot Sauce!
Good morning, Chef Jeffery! Thanks for the memories!
That's how I remember it! Here in Tennessee, our family called it scalded cornbread! My dad ate it with sorghum! Thanks foe the memories!
My family loves my hot water cornbread. My mother used to eat cane syrup. I believe it was kept on the stove so it would be easier to pour because it’s so thick💜
And I still love hot water cornbread with fish now that's some good eating
Yes Chef that hot water cornbread looks soooo good now that's Old School also keeping the cane on the stove makes it pourable!
I love hot water cornbread. Great singing voice, Chef! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Chef Jeffrey, now you cooking again, with this delicious hot water cornbread. I love to eat it with greens, cabbage, syrup and with everything. Thank you for the recipe and stay safe.
Both my grandmothers made hot water 🌽🍞 cornbread with collard kale mustard and turnip greens and beans as well
Good Ol sorghum to and a real ol school way with buttermilk. Chef you made me think of my grandfather, dad, grandma and mom with this one.

Molasses, syrup, cane syrup. algae syrup on stove “warm” syrup ez pouring and sopping 🤗 my granddad always added 🧈 to his syrup
Chef I was 16 before I had this & I thought the lady didn't know how to make cornbread patties because my auntie made them everyday. I never ever liked it just to hard for me but same auntie made greens & cornbread dumplings. Love it ❤. I make these too. Tfs Chef!
Good morning Chef Jeffery. Looks delicious ❤❤
PLEASE make cornbread dumplings. Those were truly delicious growing up. Those look so good and my mouth is watering.
You're so right Chef Jeffrey, they don't know the struggle.
Good morning,Chef. I grew up eating hot water cornbread. I could never duplicate the recipe mama had.l like your recipe.Have a blessed day Chef

Just made these to go with my homemade chili & a side of seasoned greens. Never had them but they are delicious. I even dipped them in honey butter…❤
Especially in the winter time, it would keep the syrup warm, then it's easier to pour.
Good Morning Chef,
Now this is my favorite
Good Morning my grandma used to make this and i use to love this
My mom made these all the time. I was born in Seattle but mom was from Texas
Good morning my favorite Chef Jeffrey and everybody here. Memories...so many memories you bring back for me. Chef the syrup was kept on the stove to keep it from being too thick to pour. Tfs your hot water cornbread with us. 🥰❤️
My mama used to add mayonnaise when she didn't have any eggs. She would also use equal parts of flour and she always made it with white meal. This brings back so many good memories. Thanks for sharing !
Looks delicious chef. Thanks for sharing the history and family stories. Lice thick syrup. We used Alga brand in Chicago. Pick up some while you're there. They sell at Jewel stores. Have a great day. Happy 🎂 birthday too. Enjoy your day.
I had a rough day today...I lost my fancy earmuffs en route home today so I watched your video to cheer me up...thank you #justshowsomekindness
Good morning Chef Jeffrey, I have not had cane syrup in years!!! It's a wonder fight's don't breakout amongst your neighbor's over your food!!! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for this recipe and demonstration. I will try next time I make cabbage and peas.
Good afternoon Chef Jeffery 👋. I love hot water corn bread. My friend introduced it to me and feel in love 😋♥️. Lol. Take care and God Bless !
The first time I had hot water cornbread is when I was 13. My bestfriend grandma made this and I was hooked. I can not wait until I make these! You went straight country!!!!
Sang it Chef! Nice tip. Looks like play-doh stage before you fry! Stretching the dollar back then and we're still doing today.
🙏💕🏙👋
Exactly
Chef Jeffrey, yes that is truly old school. That is good eating. 😋😋😋
Cheers!!😊❤
I watched a lot of hot water cornbread videos. I think yours is one of the best.
Good eating there. Mom used to make what she called water gravy from cornmeal and water with a little salt and bacon grease. We eat it over mackeral patties. Delicious 😋
Hello Chef Jeffery yess I call it hot water corn bread its yummy a great throw back 👍🏽❤
Yes sir, all I need is some butter and some good ole chili beans. Yum, yummy! 😋😋😋
Yes you did 😂😂 I love me some Chef Jeffery ❤️❤️ Thanks for taking me there today 😊
Good morning. I still make hot water cornbread. We use Karo Syrup instead of sugar. I have to try the butter shorten. I like to eat mind with mustard greens. Thanks for sharing. 😋😋👍
I love your videos. You take us back Chef! Thanks for sharing!
Chef, you say “a lot of people don’t know the struggle”. You are so right! I too grew up eating hot water corn bread with pure cane syrup. ❤
I always wondered how to make these. Now I know.
I was thinking about this the other day my mother used to make this for us all the time and it was soooooooo delicious thanks Chef 😋😋😋
I’m on replay. Chef when I saw this it immediately brought back pleasant memories. I was raised in Corpus Christi with my mom, dad,& two brothers. My mom made it without sugar,butter, etc. It was cooked in her black iron skillet & we had a pot of pinto beans with it. We all left the table with our “ bellies” full.
To this day, I make hot water 💦 cornbread whenever I get the whim for it. I slather it with butter( I don’t buy margarine). Our cane syrup was kept on the stove to ensure its consistency remained runny ,not thickened like raw honey thickens.
Hi Chef Jeff, now this is that good soul food! I still cook this today, ahh it just takes me way back from where we learned it.I tell you what that's going to be some of the best syrup!
Wow, something else l will teach my grandson. Love cornbread!!!
I still make these every week, especially in the summer when I do not want to use the oven because of the heat. It gets hot in Texas y'all. I had them last night and had two left for breakfast this morning. Old School food at it's best right there.
Yummie! Yeah that's really good with syrup!
Stove top make the syrup easier to pour...We always had brer rabbit syrup. 😋
Keep on cooking Old School, Love it Love it!
Hi Chef Jeff! I've heard of hot water cornbread but have never tried it. Now I have the recipe and will make some for myself. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Be Blessed and stay safe!
I’ve never lived in the South but I was raised eating hot water cornbread! My youngest child is 21 and he loves it as well and can eat it right out the grease! Thank you so much for the memories!❤
This brought back a lot of memories when my mom made this. They was so good to eat with greens and beans.
I love cornbread so I’m ready to try this hot water cornbread. Thanks 😊
The syrup stays warm and pours easily and stays liquid when kept on the stove. Keep from solidifying when it is kept on the stove.
Ooooo weeeee!!! Yes yes yes!!!! Thank you Chef Jeffrey!!!
I love it with greens and fish. Looks delicious 😋
Good morning, I love hot water cornbread. I will not eat cabbage, turnips or collards with regular milk cornbread. Thank you for sharing, I will now try the butter flavored shortening.
Definitely old school here!! My favorite cornbread ever too with any greens and some kind of meat deep fried 😅😅. I will be making some tonight with some good old fried pork chops and cabbage 🥬!! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽✨💙
Sounds great!
Wowee……Thanks Chef. I’m sure my grandmother had this…I don’t remember my parents making it. I’m gonna try it for myself 😊
Good Morning Top Chef 👨🍳! I always wanted to learn to make this! Thank you so very much will,make this with a cabbage,I have you really teach us so much,thanks to add to my recipes from you blessings! You are always Top Shelf!
The heat from the stovetop keeps the natural cane sugars from seizing; therefore, the syrup is easier to pour.
I watched other people say they're making hot water cornbread. But, watching you make it looked just like was standing behind Mom when she was dropping 'em! Memories, memories, sweet memories 🎵🎵🎶🎶 😁 Ima make me some today!
Thank you, Chef! My Mama loved us to make a skillet of Cornbread, but she would make Hot Water Cornbread on a whim for Greens or Beans, or whatever. I’m glad to have the recipe. ❤
