This good old fashioned southern corn bread is the easiest recipe I've found. A lot of recipes call for baking powder but this one is just corn meal, salt, sugar if you like it, and boiling water. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, served with a bowl of peas or beans this corn bread makes for some fine eatin'!
Ingredients
- 2 cups corn meal shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional but I recommend this) shopping list
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp sugar or other sweetener (optional) shopping list
- vegetable oil to fry in shopping list
How to make it
- Put the corn meal, salt, and sugar in a bowl that can handle boiling water.
- Pour the boiling water in slowly, stirring all the while until it makes a thick paste.
- Use your hands (yes, it's hot but you get used to it) and form the paste into palm sized patties, slipping them carefully into hot oil (we use canola or EVOO).
- Fry to golden brown, turning once.
- Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

Thank you for posting this recipe. I ran out of eggs and desperately needed a cornmeal type crunchy recipe. This will be perfect for our smoked chops and beans soup!
