This is the cornbread my grandmother made that we grew up eating. When I made her recipe as an adult, I was told I must have been poor as a kid. We might have been, but we sure did eat good!

Betty Sue I still make corn bread atleadt once a week bc my husband and I love it.. Grew up eating it....now my daughter's make a good ole pan of it for their families esep when they make s pot of beans.... Just goes hand and hand.... Good ole pinto or white besns with a pan ( cast iorn of course but can bake it anything else to if no cast iron skillet) Good ole slice of onion and WE love chow chow in our beans....

[@YanksandBritsProductions]

@@bonnieoliver427 This English man remembers those pinto beans, my wife used to make those when I lived in West Virginia. I don't think they have them here in England, never seen them here. Wow food is in poor choice here, I live about 150 miles from London, I guess closer to London they have lots more choices but their are loads of things I can't get in my hometown and others close by in the North near Manchester. I had never heard of Walleye Fish until my buddy from Wyoming took me fishing. No Walleye in the UK, or Flounder. We can't even get Frozen King Crab here, or Lobster .....o don't even get me started, the Brits don't have loads of things you guys have in the states! Send us a National Weather Channel, they don't have one of those here in the UK! Well the Americans have only had one for about 50 years ....LOL We'll get one one day I guess! 😰😰😥😥

[@scottcarroll9201]

The thing about hardtack is they would bake it twice, sometimes three times, driving out every bit of moisture so that it would keep for months and years. Hardtack is actually pretty edible if you only bake it once. It's the thrice baked hardtack that will break the teeth of a rat.

[@susanlbk]

It's supposed to be soaked in some kind of liquid before you eat it.

[@TrashTube-rt9jw]

Some kind of liquid? Swish? Or whatever they called it haha 😂 I can’t imagine there are too many mysterious liquids out there haha

[@B.V.Luminous]

Consider using water to reconstitute the hard tack when it comes time to eat it.

[@mikeeasterday9557]

As a U.S. Army vet. I always appreciate how you tip that hat to all vets , and keep Old Glory flying above one of the iconic American Cowboy Items. Cowboys needed the Chuck Wagon and still do. The military has a version of it just gets pulled behind a truck . Your food just taste better I am sure

When I was in The army I was in the Infantry. If you ever get the chance to go to the Infantry museum at Ft. Benning they still have some civil war hardtack that still hasn’t rotted

[@CowboyKentRollins]

that's hard to believe, I sure ain't trying it

[@CowboyKentRollins]

and thank you for your service James

[@alexthehun24gaming58]

Did you know that soldiers called hardtack "Maggot Castles" or sometimes "Worm Castles".

[@jamesfagans3329]

AlextheHun24 Gaming I know it would get eat up by critters but this stuff was in a glass case to protect it from insects but other than that the placard said it was civil war hardtack. The old joke during the war was “I bit into something soft, people would say “was it a worm?” The punch line was “nope, a 10 penny nail.

[@jamesfagans3329]

John Anon I Tostitos agree on Kent’s recipe

[@daddysbees3698]

Howdy Kent. Your hot water cornbread brings back lots of memories of my youth. I love them! Momma and my grandmothers would serve them up with purple hull peas, mash potatoes covered in red eye gravy, and a slice of fried country cured ham. Now that was living like a king and I know I ate my share of the hot water cornbread for sure. Now I've got to go make me some. :-) Later on.....

[@kellyhand3895]

Mr. Rollins, I love your cooking. But what really impresses me, is your true appreciation of our veterans. I’m a 22 year retired Senior NCO who really appreciates your humble salute to the folks in uniform on everyone of your shows. You are a true gentleman sir and I thank you from my heart.

I went to a Civil War reenactment a while ago. There was cookies and hardtack for snacks. I was pretty much the only one eating hardtack. I love it.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

I was surprised

[@yoyo5069]

I was in the revolutionary war..

[@JammyJamz8]

Do you have steel teeth? Those are so hard, I have no idea how you eat 'em. ... Did they serve beer with it? :)

[@shadetreeforge]

During my time with 7th O.V.I. Co. K reenactors We soaked them in soup, water, beer, lemonade, any liquid that would've been period appropriate for the civil war era. If you make them thicker, and make them like Kent does with the olive oil they are chewy like tough pizza crust.

[@NikovK]

@@shadetreeforge A -pinch- of baking powder and a touch of some oil or lard with a some ground salt makes it really not bad, although the fat makes it spoil faster. Camping that week, no problem. Storing it in a box in the hold of a ship? Probably a bad idea.

[@ganjamcninja]

I had a class back in college where we had to cool old recipes and someone brought hard tack. It was about five times as dense and ten times harder than what you made, Kent. True molar breakers.

[@gsm1021]

When I was very young my grandma would make cornbread on the stove top. She would tell stories of her mom making it on top of a old wood stove. That was way before my time. It was tasty 😋

[@OcotilloTom]

Hi Kent, I have been reenacting the American Civil War for about 25 years, I used to make small squares of hardtack to give folks who wanted to try it. Then I realized I was liable for any dental problems it may cause them...so I knocked it off! Arizona Tom

Thirty years ago I made my own hardtack when I did CW reenactments. I would "try" to break the hardtack with my hands but would drop it and smash it with a rifle butt. I would pick up the pieces and eat one and give the rest to the children. The mothers were shocked.

Showed my grandson how-to make the hardtack. After that batch he figured out that they go good soaked in poor mans gravy. He's going to be a good chef one of these days. He spent 2 weeks this summer learning to be a chef. An funny thing was when he got home. First thing he said to me. They didn't do no Dutch oven cooking or cook nothing over the fire. Guess I've spoiled him cooking outside. God bless an keep up the great work

[@pelewads]

As usual great video. I like to ad a little sugar to my corn meal. Its great for breakfast. Hard tack will last far longer thogh. If you crush it up, its great for thickening soups. However, adding oil to the hard tack will cause it to go rancid.

My grandmother lived her whole life in a small town in southern Alabama. When I was a kid (late 60s), she used to make these. We'd have them with fried chicken and lima beans or black eyed peas. Years later I was able to make them from memory but never had a recipe. Hers were always from a coarse meal and usually white, maybe ground hominy. Crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Thanks for bringing back some great memories.

[@theresaconley5930]

You sure brought a good memory back to my mind with this video. If you didn't say Christmas in your video the memory may have escaped me. One Christmas Eve my Mom took a copper bottomed skillet and rigged it above a lit candle, stirred up a cup of flour with water. She told us kids to watch it so it don't burn and when it's done we'd eat. She poured the flour/water mixture in a dry skillet. We watched it bake for quite awhile. She made due with what we had, kept us patient, yet quiet, waiting in anticipation for it to get done. Thank you.

How to eat hardtack: Step 1: Get a hammer. Step 2: Use it to knock someone out who has edible food. Step 3: Profit.

My grandma born in 1918 made hot water cornbread for me often. Just cormeal and hot water. Put it in a smallish iron skillet on a fire stovetop with crisco. Once crispy on the edges with some doughy in the middle. Then lightly salt it. It was a great snack. She made a whole round one I think her skillet was an 8 inch. It was old and well used. I wish I had kept it. That beagle is eating too good for her health. I love her to pieces. Well I love both dogs. I love all dogs. Hugs to all of you. You're killing me with the peppers! Oweee my tummy says oh no you dont! Lol By the way, I subscribed last night when I saw potato bombs. My grandma also made plain potato cakes. About the size of the palm of your hand. Again in crisco. I am trying to avoid crisco for my heart health. I'm in my 50s. But all my oils do not hold a candle to good old crisco. Or bacon grease. I'm being good though!😁🤠

Tip from the Virginia mountains; pour the boiling water over the cornmeal and let it set at least overnight at room temperature.. Gives it an almost hominy taste. Fat is not good for the long trail, as it goes rancid. Try a West Virginia corn pone loaf, like our forefathers, and mothers liked so well. Not meant for the long haul, but great sliced and fried in bacon grease for breakfast! Top with butter and dunk in the yoke. Thank-you!!!

Cowboy Kent, your Hot Water Cornbread (aka Hoecakes) brings back memories of my maternal grandmother, Martha Colbert, who taught me how to make them. Instead of boiling, hot water, "Mama" would use either buttermilk of regular milk in her batter. She would fry them up with either bacon grease or Crisco. I don't recall "Mama" putting bacon crumbles or roasted peppers in her batter. But I do remember her serving them with lots of butter and Log Cabin maple syrup. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Kent! This, along with some of your other recipes will be added to my cook book.🤠

10:34 I think you spilled a little there Mr. Rollins haha, great video as always.

My wind guess it is blowing from the North West. Given shadows i'm guessing it 3pm and you facing south west and wind is over your right shoulder.

Can't tell you how many times I watched my Momma make those. Thank you for sharing

Kent thanks for teaming up with Arizona Ghostriders. Since I heard of them from your channel I popped on over there and watched their videos and it's a great channel. Keep making those great videos!

Hope you enjoy

[@janetbrowning9089]

I love that you used bacon grease & bacon & a green chili in your's; the problem with the original recipe, is that it doesn't have that extra flavor. I love your version; thanks again, Kent for another great recipe. It's probably in the cookbook I already got here from yall. 😊🙏💖

As a veteran I love the fact that you honor our veterans in every video. I’m hooked to your channel now. I’ve always wanted to learn how to cook good ole country style meals and I’ve learned a lot from you. I love cooking on cast iron which I have a pretty good collection of but I just don’t know what to cook in them. You are changing that for me. Thank you Sir!
