How to make Hot water corn Bread

hi everyone I'm back and today I'm going to show you all how to make hot water cornbread here's what you will need you will need two teaspoons of baking powder three tablespoons of sugar if you don't want to use three tablespoons of sugar that's just fine you can use one tablespoon you'll need 1/2 teaspoon of salt you need 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour you will need 1 cup of yellow cornmeal 2 tablespoons of butter now the butter does not have to be melted because when we put the hot water in it'll melt your butter you're going to need some boiled water and you're gonna need some cold water over here this is my cold water I'm gonna have to dip my hands into it ok and I'll show you what we're gonna do with that but over here here's my pan but I have a little bit of oil in see that that oil is to fry our hot water cornbread in and this water over here is the water that we're going to use to make the hot water cornbread we're bringing that water to a boil alright so the first thing that we need to do make sure you get a large enough mixing bowl okay and then we're going to go ahead and put our mixture together so first thing that we're going to use is that half a cup of flour get that down into there we're going to use the full cup of yellow cornmeal I like to use 3 tablespoons of sugar you all didn't know me you know I love parsley and I can't do anything without parsley I'm gonna cook me some parsley in there how come Gina the reason why is because I love the color that it gives will it alter the flavor no it won't but it will make it nice and beautiful and that's what I'm aiming for I like to see the green flecks going through all right so we're going to put our salt we need a half a seat just 1/2 of teaspoon is all you need just like so if you want to use seesaw feel free to use sea salt we're going to use 2 teaspoons of baking powder and that'll give it some you know that'll help it to puff up some okay get it nice and fluffy and beautiful okay so we got our baking powder just like so okay we're gonna mix up our dry mixture and after we mix up the dry mixture then we'll put our butter in in our hot water so let's take a spoon just mix everything up very well so you all haven't seen me for two days I've been working on trying to figure out how to work my new camera and I want you all to let me know what you think it should be a better view it's just sounds nice and clear you all should it should look like you all are in this kitchen with me you hear me absolutely it should but comment in the section below and let me know what you all think of the new view okay so I'm just mixing this up well cuz we want to make sure that that salt and that baking powder is well incorporated okay so take your time like I like to tell everybody all the time patience is the key to good cooking if you can have patience in that kitchen oh you trust me you're gonna have some good food you hear me absolutely you will okay so what was that gonna say tonight I'm putting more parsley in tonight I'm gonna make fried cabbage oh yes you can have hot water cornbread without fried cabbage and I'm gonna do a video for that it'll be a separate video for the cabbage okay and I'll make boiled potatoes with that alright okay this is well incorporated so now what I'm gonna do I'm gonna go ahead and put that two tablespoons of butter in and my water over here has came to a boil I'm just gonna start pouring some in how much Gina just pour you some in and what you're looking for is the consistency of almost like a play-doh or you feel like you could put this into a ball or roll it up and you want to pour it on top of that butter so that butter can get nice and melty all right so you just pour a little bit of water in at a time and remember that water is boiling hot scalding water you do not want the kids in the kitchen doing this because this water can be very hot okay so then let's pour some more and so we don't see any dry and we feel like like that's it and you feel like you can turn this into a nice ball let me get a good view down into here beautiful that looks like a good view well just keep pouring a little bit if you feel like you cannot take your batter and put it into a bowl well you need to put some more water if you feel like it's too watery then what you'll do is very quick fix just put you some more yellow cornmeal in all right because it can definitely turn to loose on you just put a little bit more cornmeal if that happens okay if that happens here I'll be able to actually show you all right I hope you all have a great Friday night tonight have a safe weekend hope you all enjoy the videos oh and I'm gonna be making a banana pancakes guys listen to me when you taste these banana pancakes you will kind of lose kind of lose half of your mind these banana pancakes are to die for and they are so delicious so you can see where our butter starting to melt but it's a little too loose okay alright so what we're gonna do we're just going to simply go in and put some more cornmeal in how much just spreads them when we talk okay and luckily that water that we poured it has this mixture so hot it's going to continue to cook the new cornmeal that you put in as well this dish is so interesting it's so interesting how the hot water cooks this before we even put this bad boy on the stove it tastes so good I cannot wait to eat this I'm so excited my family is excited it's been a while since I made cornbread it's been a while because honestly I normally make jiffy I make jiffy I love the jiffy cornbread mix and I know a lot of you don't like the jiffy cornbread mix but I love it I'll put a little bit of sugar in there and I cook and it turns out perfect every time this is a little bit more yellow cornmeal because I need to be able to I'm gonna take my ring off right now I need to be able to pack these up into a nice fritter or pancake so to speak right and they do have a kind of a sticky consistency a little bit I'm gonna put a little bit more yellow cornmeal and this should be it you'll be able to make our balls now you can make these big you can make them flat like pancakes you can make them however you want I'll show you how I like to shape mines now see how you could almost put these into ball see how it's nice and thick that's what you're wanting that's what you're wanting absolutely okay so I'm gonna check my pan over here my pans getting nice and hot like I want it to and we're gonna cut these up on a medium-high heat nothing too high because we don't want these to get burnt if you turn if you turn your pan up on high what will happen is they'll get really really dark on the outside and they won't be done in the inside and we don't want that okay over here let me show you this is cold water when I'm making the patties I'm gonna need to dip my hands in there to cool my hands off okay because this mixture is so hot all right sometimes if you want it to you can wait until your mixture cools down a bit and then you can make them just make sure when you pour your water in here it's you know really really hot boiling our butter is nice and melted let's go ahead and I'll show you how to look I like to make mine alright so then turn turn your pan on a medium high heat just go in just like so and you grab it what is hot so what you do look look guys check me out I'm calling my hands down okay cool in this hand down just patio okay I just like like it to look like this and let's put this bad boy in the pan okay and then we'll put the others in following right after okay get in there baby you get in there and you Brown up for me okay it's starting a sizzle and that's what I'm wanting to make sure it's on the medium-high and you can make them all sizes hey you can make them small for the kids you can make them slip silverdollar size flatten them like a pancake whatever you choose it's just fine you can't go wrong with the size of these or the shape okay oh man we have a fried cabbage tonight woo in this hot water cornbread mm-hmm if you all never had this before you gotta make you some you better make you some and tell him Gina Young showed you

little tiny one in there and that'll be my tester I always have to test my food okay I'm just gonna wash my hands at the corn mill up from her hands we got that pan on a medium line and then you'll be able to turn it very easily when you're making these you want to be able to have a pan that is nonstick or that doesn't stick a lot all right oh these are so beautiful and look what I got guys this right here is my absolute favorite so I have the Land O'Lakes and I have the honey butter whoo-wee we go smear this on there bad boy oh my goodness you can have these for breakfast absolutely you can

want to know if this picture looks like you all are standing right in this kitchen with me yes that's the look that I'm going for I want you all to feel like you're right next to me watching what I'm doing that boiled water there on the side I'll just save that I'll just pour that hot water in with my dishwater when I make my dishwater after this okay so how do you know when to turn it okay what you will see you'll start to see a nice golden brown ring around right around the edge okay and that'll indicate hey I'm ready to be turned and when you turn it don't go smush in it when you smush it you just kind of disturb it he just got to disturb it okay we don't need to go in with the fork or a spatula even though like you want to you know like I said once you see that golden brown ring that'll indicate when it's time to turn it so we'll just be patient took these bad boys up whoa am I excited yes I am I'm so I have a pan here I have a baking dish and then I've just put a cooling rack on top that's what we're going to set our hot water cornbread on top of because I want to put let me show you that again see how this cooling rack will allow air to circulate on the top around and underneath the hot water cornbread that way we're not just setting it on the plate or setting it on a paper towel and they get soggy we don't want it to get soggy we want it to be nice and crispy on the outside and soft and pillowy in the inside we're gonna smear that honey butter on top guys oh yeah I'm excited I'm so excited okay I'm gonna take a peek we're almost there we're not quite there okay I'm gonna turn my heat up just a little just a tad bit over medium high okay but we're not rushing anything don't rush anything we got all the time in the world today's Friday night nobody has to go to work tomorrow right beautiful so I'm gonna be making a banana pancake and then for those of you that would like the recipe to my flourless banana pancake I will give you that recipe during the video I won't forget because the flourless banana pancake is just as good as the other pancakes oh my goodness and I'm so excited for those pancakes all I need is some maple syrup and just a little bit of butter whoa my husband likes to eat likes for me to take the bananas and do like a banana foster and slice the bananas and cook them down in a little bit of butter and brown sugar and then he'll put that on top of his banana pancakes oh man and here's the thing I'll be honest with you but I'm not a fan of bananas but I will eat the heck out of these banana pancakes I know it's weird I know it's weird that's just like me and eggs I'm not a fan of eggs I don't like eggs but if I'm eating uh Chinese food oh I want extra egg in it I know I know I'm crazy I got a little bit of crazy at me okay they're doing exactly why I'm gonna take a peek at all of them okay make sure none of them are getting too dark okay just take our time I want to Center them put them more towards the center because this is a very large pant I want to make sure they all get evenly done beautiful so ya want you all to just bear with me with this new camera situation and once I get in the hang of everything
