There\u2019s a clue in the name. You only need five ingredients and one of them\u2019s hot water. The rest are cupboard\/pantry staples that you can combine to make a cheap, quick and filling snack or side dish. It\u2019s not fancy, fussy or overly flavorful, but definitely one of those recipes that\u2019s always infused with nostalgia.<\/p>\n<p>This hot water cornbread recipe uses frying rather than baking unlike other cornbreads that are popular in southern cooking. That gives it a crunchier and rougher consistency on the outside. But a soft and doughy texture on the inside.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Hot Water Cornbread<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2067375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Hot-Water-Cornbread_TOH24__277875_RuthieDarling_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"277875 Hot Water Cornbread\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Ruthie Darling for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Yellow cornmeal:<\/strong> Go for a plain cornmeal.

This type of cornbread is baked so it takes longer. It\u2019s also common to add eggs and\/or milk to the dough. But hot water cornbread uses hot water (and oil) to change the texture of the cornmeal. It\u2019s the crispy crust that forms during frying that holds everything together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hot water cornbread has a reputation as an affordable recipe that\u2019s filling first and flavorful second.
