Southern Hot Water Cornbread

Golden, crispy edges with a tender center—just like Grandma used to make.

A Southern Staple With Heart

Hot Water Cornbread is one of those humble, heartwarming recipes that never goes out of style. It takes just a few ingredients and a skillet to create something magical. My family has been making this for generations, and every bite reminds me of cozy kitchens, big family dinners, and that unmistakable Southern comfort.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cornmeal (preferably stone-ground)
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons sugar (optional, but adds a subtle flavor)
• 1½ cups boiling water
• Oil for frying (I used extra virgin olive oil, but any neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil works)
