Growing up in Compton California in the house with 13 Aunts , Uncles, and Cousins together ; Grandma only cooked hot water cornbread because it allowed her to save her eggs, milk, and butter. The hot water cornbread also allowed her to make more and stretch it. GOOD HOOD EATING 💯🖤
Being from the South, I always wondered about the " hot water" part about "Hot Water Cornbread ". For years, I was ashamed to ask what that meant, so I'd just be quiet when someone would bring it up. Now, the mystery has been solved and now, I know how to make "Hot Water Cornbread". Thanks, AB.❤.
The country way is to run the cold water after you mix and when you pat together run the cold water on each hand and form the bread make any size you want and cook! That's the real country way. Hot water corn bread! That's the lick!
Mama passed. I was in my early 20's. Grammie passed a year later. This so so nostalgic. I love your channel. It definitely gives me the basics, then I add what I remember was mama's way, or try add something new. I love simplicity and that's what you show me. I have learned from you that I don't have to be in the kitchen all day. Thank you. May God continue to bless and keep you.
Greens juice, The juice in the bottom of a pot of cabbage, Hot water cornbread green beans White potatoes and hot sauce, Black Eyed Peas.That’s how grandma auntie and myself do it that’s good eaten.❤
Heyy AB! Pot liquor is the juice of your greens, cabbage, beans, etc... that you drink because it's full of healing nutrients and delicious all by itself or sop it up with your hot-water🔥cornbread or skillet or pan cornbread! 😋
I don’t know what it is about the juice. I was complaining to my aunt about a P.T test that I wasn’t up to doing in the service. She had me drink the greens juice with cayenne the next day I ran my two miles and could’ve kept running. It felt like it was nothing
I’m from SE Texas and was taught to make it with yellow cornmeal and salt, and slowly add boiling water until the meal could be shaped into a patty, or just put a spoonful of dough into hot oil. Mama would drop small spoonfuls of the batter into her greens to make cornmeal dumplings. We’d pour Louisiana hot sauce on our corn bread for a tasty treat. 😋 🤤
Thank you. I’m all in with quick and simple. I added finely sliced scallions to the mix to go with the fried catfish, coleslaw., sea island red peas with Charleston gold rice. 💯
I still have my grandmother’s recipe and she measured by Solo Cups, pinches, and spoon heapings. She’d make one big patty to cover the whole skillet, and I can’t nail the recipe after three attempts.
I made these for my wife on New Year's Day. She loved them. I used an ice cream dipper to get equal size portions of wet cornbread before flattening them like you showed. Thanx.
AB, who dk bout that put liquor??? U got me making the hot water cornbread tonight with my cabbage, red beans& rice. I swear I couldn't cook a thing b4 finding ur channel some years ago and now I got ppl asking me to cook all the time. Thanks 🙏🏾
I was just @ my girlfriend's house & she made hot water cornbread in front me, She added bakingpower to hers and had a bowl of cold water separately 2 the side to dip her hands in it before rolling & patting them out in her hands to keep the patties from sticking 2 her hands & she placed them in the skillet like I did, Away from her 2 keep the hot grease from popping on her, Then she waited 4 them 2 make bubbles in the center B4 turnings, She also did smothered cabbage, WOW! Just Excellent!
I LOVE hot water cornbread. Most people I know have never heard of it. Just like everything southern, you get your recipe from your family. I got it from my mom's side of the family that is from East Texas. Nothing goes with soups, stews and chicken & dumplings better than hot water cornbread.
Love it, ive learned more from you then the last 3 seasons of Master Chef that I've watched. Point is I watch alot of cooking shows and yours by far is the best.
Bro, you're a badass. I love your videos, and even this simple stuff, like a lot of people didn't grow up with grandmas cooking, so I think learning some traditions is going to make a comeback. I'm a pescatarian, have been for over 15 years, and I find myself watching your channel regularly for dinner ideas. The way you teach and communicate is very simple, calm, and streamlined. I dig it man. Thanks for what you do!
Made your Salisbury steaks the other day. Your recipes have gotten me back into cooking after a long period of depression/ppd. Trying this tonight with pot roast & Mac ❤️ just wanted to say thank you 🙏🏻
You got me over here missing Sunday dinner at my grandads. I made some for my daughter’s class during black history month when she in elementary the class loved them! Thanks AB!
My mother won't share her recipe for hot water cornbread with me again and sadly my one aunt who I could go to and get it recently passed. The next best person to come to is you. Thank you so very much. You are truly a blessing.
Now this is the way my momma made hers, except no sugar. All the recipes I see online use baking powder, which she never used. I love the ones with extra crispy edges...umm so good. And so good with the pot liquor of beans or greens...I'm getting hungry!! Oh, my mother always made them into paddies vs the spoon kind, and made sure some had the browned edges she knew we loved. I'm gonna have to try the dumplings in the greens and the spoon shape, just because. Thanks for all those great memories you've reminded me of today. 🥰
Made this for the 1st time with some cabbage,bacon n sausage. My husband said his grandmother n mother would be proud of me. Thank you for the great recipe. I LOVE to cook so love trying new recipes.
OMG! I never knew hot water cornbread was so easy to make. My greens, spinach and cabbage mixed are cooked. I will definitely make me some hot water corn bread. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness my mother use to make hot water corn with collared greens fried fish and potatoe salad thank you for the recipe will be making this menu for tomorrow's dinner.
I suppose everyone's different. In our family we use white corn meal. When I was 10 we moved from the South to the East Coast and we could no longer get Aunt Jemima white corn meal, so we used to have people bring bags when they'd come to visit. It was a regular feature at meals maybe twice a week on average. I make it from time-to-time. My daughter loves it. We never called it "hot water cornbread" growing up. It was "fried corn bread" and then in our teens, my cousin and I started calling them corn dodgers... Didn't learn the name until I was in my 40s and went to a soul food restaurant that served them as "hot water cornbread.". Whatever you call 'em, it's one of the tastiest ways to have bread with dinner that I can imagine and if you haven't had it, I highly recommend it. Never met anyone who didn't like hot water cornbread.
Nobody cares how your family makes it. This isn't "Smokin and grilling with PD" of we wanted to know how your family made them we would've went to your RUclips channel
My mom was born and raised in the "South," but I have to admit, she never made this. We ate a lot of what you cook (greens, okra, pinto beans, black=eyed peas, cornbread, stewed tomatoes with bread), but she was a simple cook. She cooked her greens with bacon; cover the bottom of a 5 1/2 qt dutch oven with raw bacon, fill with water, and cook for about two hours. I don't remember her ever using smoked turkey; she used bacon or smoked ham hocks. I regret not paying closer attention.Thanks for the memories!
It's the simple recipes can be the best ones you learn a technique and then you build on it and they don't seem so intimidating to make them!❤ Thank you for sharing
Oh yes! This takes me back to my childhood. My mom made this and we had pinto beans navy beans ot black eyed peas. Add some collard greens and I was in heaven!
Oh now this is how we we're raised in the south! Some people still til this day has no clue about it when I say that we're eating it for dinner as a side item. The key is " clean hands " 😆 Thanks AB ~ Ty
Great soul food right there hot water corn 🌽 bread there is so delicious and very tasty you can have water corn w bread sure can go with anything even you sure have it for breakfast good with some fish and grits, you could just eat her all crumble everything that’s delicious. They are so tasty. Thanks for sharing the recipe chef even though I know how to make some hot water cornbread great presentation thank chef
AB - it's great to see how much you have improved in front of the camera and in your recipe presentation. Your recipes have always been great but the presentation, camera work, and editing are getting better as you go. Thanks for the hard work you put into these videos and for teaching this mountain boy how to cook southern style.
Did you say “Pot Liquor”, yes this SC girl knows what you are talking about. I have been watching you for some time and just checked out your website, awesome. Thanks for your videos.
Thank you 🙌🏽 Lord for bringing this gentleman in my feed. Since my mom passed I have asking family and friends if they know how to make this most said No then others showed me something that 😮I don’t know what it was 😂 I have search high and low on the internet, social media and no ingredients came close 😢 then today 😇 here you come this video sliding through I watched and in pure Aww 🤩🤩 I couldn’t wait to save subscribe and tell my daughter we will finally have some of granny’s like my mom R.I.H “Hot water cornbread “ Thanks 😊 and by the way the rest of the videos are good also 😃
You’re right it’s about time. Lol I’m not from the south but I love all the food. I was told to add eggs and backing powder. Yours are beautiful and I’m making it today because my son is cooking oxtail, greens and black eyed peas.
Great! I finally got the secret! Lower my fire because I was burning my hot water cornbread up every time! Now I add chopped onion, garlic powder & chicken bullion to my mix. So good! Thanks
my auntie ONLY made hot water cornbread. Never had a true recipe for it cause she cooked by feeling. Lmao she called it “curious cooking” 😭. I just saw her boil water, use maybe 1-2 eggs, cornmeal and a bit of sugar. I could never get the ratios right to get mine like hers, this video is definitely gonna help me!
I'm in Maine, and finding your channel has given new meaning to the cast iron cookware I bought last year !! I have yet to find something you make that I don't like. Thanks for sharing your talent and I will be following your channel pretty much forever !! Great stuff ! Thanks for making me love my kitchen again ! 😋
That hot water cornbread is 🔥. I would totally eat them with some black eyed peas. I love you sprinkle sugar on top of my beans and peas. It's pure deliciousness. I've been doing it since I was a kid. Awesome recipe AB. ✌️
Hey AB, this is the way I grew up watching my mom make hot water cornbread. I’m from Corpus Christi,Tx. Now I add jalapeños, & a little cheese & seasonings to mine.
My great Auntie who lived in Detroit used to make hot water corn bread with white cornmeal and she fried it up in lard or Crisco. I can taste her collard greens or cabbage right now with that tasty hot water corn bread. I haven’t had this since 1973. Thanks for the recipe. I am going to make these soon.
Delicious,nice and crispy! I like to add some diced jalapeños to the batter😊and top with sour cream and cilantro. I'm from Salinas, Ca and have to always add that Mexican flair😊 Good job AB
Hey 🆎 Being a mountain/country girl, I've never had this nor made it. Nope...Granny nor Mom made it. Jiffy was THE cornbread staple. We always had it with fried fish and fried potatoes with onion. I'm going to make this now that you've shown me how to do it. 😉
You have definitely influenced my cooking life...I've bought the helix garlic press, the maredash mini bowls, and the sweet smokey joes creole kick. Your recipes are the best. Keep them coming.
I'm from the south and my grandmother or mother made this . They only put it in the oven. Its good of course. This weekend me n my mom are gonna try it!
Another great video, here in southern Mississippi we call it fried cornbread. Including the chopped onions you mentioned along with finely diced jalapeño. Put in a bowl and covered with pot liquor and turnips . Thanks for another great job 👏
I'm Italian, we have something similar called polenta brustolada. We make the polenta, 1 cup corn meal to 4 cups water. It's basically your porridge and make it nice and creamy. What ever was left over after dinner, we smothered it out on a pan and let it set. The next day we grill it and it's fricken delicious. Plus not the mess of frying it.
Yep, how my grandma used to make it, but she would add a bit more sugar...same cornmeal. I didn't know they still made that. You must be in California 😍 Love the crispy edges. Always sipped on the pot liqueur after greens were cooked. Still do after I make cabbage.
And us black ppl wonder why we have the highest mortality rate when it come to high blood pressure an cholesterol..oven baked cornbread is far safer than grease fried..but do you..honestly why ppl wud cook like that after they can see he looks like hes a couple days shy of a stroke is amazing but ya cant tell black folks to cook healthier..

@@dirtypokesouthsideofh-town552 Chow chow was something delicious my GranDaddy would can every year and always kept a jar in the fridge. We ate it with everything like you would use hot sauce! To this day I have no idea what it was and the recipe rest with my GranDaddy ❤🙏🏽
This brings back so many memories. I haven't made it in years. My grandmother would make hot water cornbread for us on Sundays when we stayed with her when my father was in Vietnam back in '68. I loved when she made it. As a kid, I had never had it before because it wasn't something my mom made. All the women in that part of Arkansas made it. As I was growing up, all the cornbread I had was baked. Absolutely, zero people made hot water cornbread. There have been women from the south I asked who had no clue what I was talking about. Crazy...
Grew up with Hotwater Cornbread. But my “folks” rinsed their hands in cold water before forming the patty because it was indeed “Hot”. Just recently made a rendition where I “infused” collards and Turkey into the mix.
Today, I just finished eating my collards & smoked turkey…😋 Gonna have to cook some pintos or fried cabbage tomorrow so that I can make Hot Water Cornbread…like my granny use to make…🤗🤗
I'm from the North Delta Mississippi I grew up on soul food you name it I eat it thanks for sharing it really looks good he did a good job my brother keep on keep on Strokin that's soul food out green onions that's what poor folks used to eat and I'mma tell you something it was good go out and pull some grains out of the ground wash and clean them and eat them
My man I am knew to your site thanks to my sister she love it so much that she shared them with me. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching. God blessings.
Now all you need is a pot of pinto beans, my mother and grandma would scoop it out with a spoon and drop it in the grease. I enjoy watching your videos ❤️
Oh, this brings back memories!!!! My Grandmother used to make this (minus the sugar) although she called it 'dog bread.' I don't care what it is called, I loved it as a child and now, thanks to you sir, I am going to love it as an adult. I just cooked a big pot of pinto beans and this will go with them wonderfully!!!! Thank you for your video!!!! I have wondered how to make these for a long time and now I know!!!! God bless!!!!
My auntie used to spray a bit of cooking spray on wax paper then put her patties on that. When it was time to go in the oil she just peeled the paper off the back. Super simple, and sooooo good slathered in butter or dipped in the pot likkor from her greens and sausage.
Hello AB it’s been a minute but so glad to check in every time I can. I’m loving your butcher block counter tops. The corn bread is a must with pot liquor; doing it country style🤣❣️😍😇🙏🏽♥️♥️♥️♥️
Heck yeah!!! Now we cooking... love me some hot water cornbread, turnip greens, deviled eggs and tomato slices!!! Do you also sell it in your restaurant? That right there will compliment any meal!!!💞💞💞
Thank you for this video! My mom used to make those and I never have. She's gone 30 years now, and I'm going to make these in her honor, and YES, with some potlikker!

Thanks 👍 for sharing this recipe with us.
Yes Lord, that pot liquor is grandma special from those greens. Make me really miss my grandma and my mom very much.

The hot water is used to cook the cornmeal also, since the frying process is so quick.
Me too, sis!
Lmao. This is funny.
@@gaylecaesar8541 do you put the hot water in to mix and then mix. Then get cold water and make it into a patty before you fry it? I've never made it

Heyy AB! Pot liquor is the juice of your greens, cabbage, beans, etc... that you drink because it's full of healing nutrients and delicious all by itself or sop it up with your hot-water🔥cornbread or skillet or pan cornbread! 😋

Can Sensible well said ! Mummmm good.
Thank u fa the knowledge I did not know that
Pot liquor is used for cornbread dumplings. This hot water cornbread recipe isn't familiar. Spoonbread is made with warm/hot water but it's baked.
My father still drinks pot liquor
My aunt Betty made hers with white cornmeal adding the hot water a little at a time for a thicker pattie. Soo good!
I’m from SE Texas and was taught to make it with yellow cornmeal and salt, and slowly add boiling water until the meal could be shaped into a patty, or just put a spoonful of dough into hot oil. Mama would drop small spoonfuls of the batter into her greens to make cornmeal dumplings. We’d pour Louisiana hot sauce on our corn bread for a tasty treat. 😋 🤤
I prefer the white. But will eat yellow if that is my only choice
That’s how I’ve heard of it being made
SE Texas! My father's side of the family is from Port Arthur. 😀
The dumplings tho’!!
My mom put onions in hers
Thank you.
I’m all in with quick and simple.
I added finely sliced scallions to the mix to go with the fried catfish, coleslaw., sea island red peas with Charleston gold rice. 💯
My grandmother used to make this, I never knew how. Thank you for sharing!!
Enjoy! 💯🔥
Mine too! She didn’t use eggs though, just cornmeal, salt, and hot water! Bomb with greens!!
I still have my grandmother’s recipe and she measured by Solo Cups, pinches, and spoon heapings. She’d make one big patty to cover the whole skillet, and I can’t nail the recipe after three attempts.

I just saw her boil water, use maybe 1-2 eggs, cornmeal and a bit of sugar. I could never get the ratios right to get mine like hers, this video is definitely gonna help me!
My grandma called these corn pones and were always served with my FAVORITE stuffed cabbage rolls made extra saucy to sop up all the goodness💗🤗💗
This really was simple! I just cannot believe how quick this recipe was. Lol
Yes! Very quick!
That ‘Pot Licka’ is that delicious juice/broth from the Greens, yes sir!
💖👍 I'm going to make this with your Southern Fried Cabbage.

👍🏿PERFECT COMBO😋
Yes 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm in Maine, and finding your channel has given new meaning to the cast iron cookware I bought last year !! I have yet to find something you make that I don't like. Thanks for sharing your talent and I will be following your channel pretty much forever !! Great stuff ! Thanks for making me love my kitchen again ! 😋
That hot water cornbread is 🔥. I would totally eat them with some black eyed peas. I love you sprinkle sugar on top of my beans and peas. It's pure deliciousness. I've been doing it since I was a kid. Awesome recipe AB. ✌️
Love the pot liquor from the greens. My mom use to make hot water cornbread when I was a kid.
Hey AB, this is the way I grew up watching my mom make hot water cornbread. I’m from Corpus Christi,Tx. Now I add jalapeños, & a little cheese & seasonings to mine.
Where do buy cheese seasoning & how much to add?
My great Auntie who lived in Detroit used to make hot water corn bread with white cornmeal and she fried it up in lard or Crisco. I can taste her collard greens or cabbage right now with that tasty hot water corn bread. I haven’t had this since 1973. Thanks for the recipe. I am going to make these soon.
Delicious,nice and crispy! I like to add some diced jalapeños to the batter😊and top with sour cream and cilantro. I'm from Salinas, Ca and have to always add that Mexican flair😊 Good job AB
Oh yes!! 😅
!831! 🙌
I’m gonna have to try that cilantro whenever I look at Mexican cooking videos their always putting it in something or on something 🇲🇽
My grandmother used to make these and add butter. I love pot liquor. I always did. I would love them with Seafood Gumbo.❤❤❤❤
I've never heard of this before and it looks so good! I have to try some with some blackeyed peas & potlicker very soon!
You've heard of potlicka but not hw cornbread😳
This takes me back to my childhood, my mother used to make these, thank you for the recipe.
Hey 🆎 Being a mountain/country girl, I've never had this nor made it. Nope...Granny nor Mom made it. Jiffy was THE cornbread staple. We always had it with fried fish and fried potatoes with onion.
I'm going to make this now that you've shown me how to do it. 😉
It'll change ya life
@@nicolew6904 Alright nowll
You got it. Love it.
You have definitely influenced my cooking life...I've bought the helix garlic press, the maredash mini bowls, and the sweet smokey joes creole kick. Your recipes are the best. Keep them coming.
I'm from the south and my grandmother or mother made this . They only put it in the oven. Its good of course. This weekend me n my mom are gonna try it!
Another great video, here in southern Mississippi we call it fried cornbread. Including the chopped onions you mentioned along with finely diced jalapeño. Put in a bowl and covered with pot liquor and turnips . Thanks for another great job 👏
I'm Italian, we have something similar called polenta brustolada. We make the polenta, 1 cup corn meal to 4 cups water. It's basically your porridge and make it nice and creamy. What ever was left over after dinner, we smothered it out on a pan and let it set. The next day we grill it and it's fricken delicious. Plus not the mess of frying it.
Sounds good and smart 👏🤤👍
Yep, how my grandma used to make it, but she would add a bit more sugar...same cornmeal. I didn't know they still made that. You must be in California 😍 Love the crispy edges. Always sipped on the pot liqueur after greens were cooked. Still do after I make cabbage.
Thank you for keeping our culture knowing.
I never knew what these were! I always called them cornbread patties!! Now I can make them for my family! Thanks AB! I love your channel!!!
And us black ppl wonder why we have the highest mortality rate when it come to high blood pressure an cholesterol..oven baked cornbread is far safer than grease fried..but do you..honestly why ppl wud cook like that after they can see he looks like hes a couple days shy of a stroke is amazing but ya cant tell black folks to cook healthier..

Thank you you for your beautiful recipes.
Yes! That is how I cook mine! 😊 I love my turnip greens and put my hot water corn bread in the pot liquor! And my black eye peas loaded with onions! My favorite meal!😃 Thanks for doing this vlog!
Gotta have these 💯🔥🙌
Ohh, that sounds good. All that's missing is some chow chow! 😋😋😋
@@faith2xxx That is so true! 😊💕Chow chow very, very good!
@@faith2xxx I'm born and raised in the $outh (Houston), what the hell is Chow Chow!!!! 🤭🤔🤔🤔🤓
@@dirtypokesouthsideofh-town552
Chow chow was something delicious my GranDaddy would can every year and always kept a jar in the fridge. We ate it with everything like you would use hot sauce! To this day I have no idea what it was and the recipe rest with my GranDaddy ❤🙏🏽
This brings back so many memories. I haven't made it in years. My grandmother would make hot water cornbread for us on Sundays when we stayed with her when my father was in Vietnam back in '68. I loved when she made it. As a kid, I had never had it before because it wasn't something my mom made. All the women in that part of Arkansas made it. As I was growing up, all the cornbread I had was baked. Absolutely, zero people made hot water cornbread. There have been women from the south I asked who had no clue what I was talking about. Crazy...
Grew up with Hotwater Cornbread. But my “folks” rinsed their hands in cold water before forming the patty because it was indeed “Hot”. Just recently made a rendition where I “infused” collards and Turkey into the mix.
I like to infuse green onions and jalapeños in mine, add hot water then fry. Yummy.
That sounds so good
Great tip 🙌🙌
🙃💯 YES ma'am we did the coke water on the side dip also.
Today, I just finished eating my collards & smoked turkey…😋 Gonna have to cook some pintos or fried cabbage tomorrow so that I can make Hot Water Cornbread…like my granny use to make…🤗🤗
I'm from the North Delta Mississippi I grew up on soul food you name it I eat it thanks for sharing it really looks good he did a good job my brother keep on keep on Strokin that's soul food out green onions that's what poor folks used to eat and I'mma tell you something it was good go out and pull some grains out of the ground wash and clean them and eat them
Coming from a family who made bagels I was perplexed thinking you were going to boil the cornbread in the hot water. 😄
What lol
Me too🤣Silly me
😂😂😂😂
🙄🤔🤣🤣🤣
😂😂🤣
I tell everyone my love for cooking starts with this channel!
Yyyyeesss. You always come through with the videos. My daddy use to make this all the time. It tastes good with some greens....
Yes they do 🔥🤤💯
My man I am knew to your site thanks to my sister she love it so much that she shared them with me. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching. God blessings.
Now all you need is a pot of pinto beans, my mother and grandma would scoop it out with a spoon and drop it in the grease. I enjoy watching your videos ❤️
Or great northerns!! Oh yeah with the smoked meat in the beans
I made pinto beans and hot water cornbread yesterday, it was a rainy day and our A/C was on. It felt kinda like fall/winter 😂
Been making them for years....with some greens. I enjoyed watching this one.
Oh, this brings back memories!!!! My Grandmother used to make this (minus the sugar) although she called it 'dog bread.' I don't care what it is called, I loved it as a child and now, thanks to you sir, I am going to love it as an adult. I just cooked a big pot of pinto beans and this will go with them wonderfully!!!! Thank you for your video!!!! I have wondered how to make these for a long time and now I know!!!! God bless!!!!
I was surprised about the sugar, I just use salt.
My auntie used to spray a bit of cooking spray on wax paper then put her patties on that. When it was time to go in the oil she just peeled the paper off the back. Super simple, and sooooo good slathered in butter or dipped in the pot likkor from her greens and sausage.
I love hot water cornbread. This is exactly how my mom makes it.
Years (decades!) ago, I galleyed on a gulf red snapper commercial fishing boat. This brought back great memories! Thanx!
Hello AB it’s been a minute but so glad to check in every time I can. I’m loving your butcher block counter tops. The corn bread is a must with pot liquor; doing it country style🤣❣️😍😇🙏🏽♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you Fam and I'm glad to see you :) Enjoy!
Yesss I was thinking about these yesterday 😂chile ty AB my mother used to make these all the time 😊
