Yes Lord, that pot liquor is grandma special from those greens. Make me really miss my grandma and my mom very much.

[@teatime635]

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 💯🖤

[@azDiFvEtGamer]

Good to see The west coast so called African Americans kept some of the customs instilled during slavery.

[@NannasHomestead]

YES

[@cfreemful]

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.❤.

[@gaylecaesar8541]

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!

[@amw2hoop]

The hot water is used to cook the cornmeal also, since the frying process is so quick.

[@msethel8847]

Me too, sis!

[@MRMAN-wb1tv]

Lmao. This is funny.

[@TamaraGarrettAlpha]

@@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

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.

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! 😋

[@dartanzalw]

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

My Grammies never let us in the kitchen so I am thrilled to have found your channel. Now I get to learn how the magic happens.

[@carolyncurry9615]

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. 😋 🤤

[@chri8067]

I prefer the white. But will eat yellow if that is my only choice

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. 🥰

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!

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.

Oh yes! You brought back some memories. Hot water corn bread with greens, mac'n cheese, black eyed peas with white rice, potato salad and barbecue chicken or ribs was a heaven-sent meal in our house growing up. Mmmm mmm good! 😋 AB, you gotta start using lard to fry. That vegetable oil stuff is deadly. It causes diabetes, inflammation and obesity. All industrial seed oils do. Thanks for the fond memories, chef!

I'm nearly 60, do people actually still use lard in this day and age? 🤔

[@ladiuneeq9789]

@@dirtypokesouthsideofh-town552 With all the industrial seed oils killing us off, most people are not aware that lard is still on grocery shelves. But when it comes to frying, other than avocado oil, olive oil, coconut oil and MCT oil, lard is your best bet.

[@dirtypokesouthsideofh-town552]

@@ladiuneeq9789 Actually I have seen lard on the shelves in the grocery store. I ALWAYS fry my chicken and pork chops in plain on vegetable oil. I thought about trying Crisco but I'm going to purchase some lard. Thanks for the tips about certain oils. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🙏🏿✌🏿 P.S. I LIKE YOUR PROFILE NAME. 😘🤭🤓

[@patchouli8899]

I have read also that lard is better to use than those other oils or solids like Crisco. My grandmother always fried with lard, and always put about a Tablespoon of bacon grease in her hot water c.b. or her iron skillet cornbread. (for a little extra flavor!)

@@dirtypokesouthsideofh-town552 Thank you and you're welcome! Some people have chastised me for spelling my username that way so it's a nice welcome to hear that somebody likes it. But yes, animal fat is so much healthier than that stuff they manufacturer in warehouses and call it "oil from vegetables". Lies! Once I stopped eating that crap, I got much healthier. I just noticed how my hair is down the middle of my back now. When I consumed all of that processed junk and sugar I couldn't get my hair to grow long and thick. Diet is a big factor in our overall health.

I know about hot water cornbread I'm from Arkansas Bron and raised my mother used to make hot water cornbread. that's nothing new to me!!!!!! but I just love watching you on KZbin

[@angelawalker1075]

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!

[@saltysouthernmomma9354]

My Grandmaw used to make that but she called them Johnnie-cakes (I don't know who Johnnie was but...) , I loved sopping up the pot likker from collard green, speckled butter beans & whatever she had cooked. Thanks for sharing this recipe & bringing back good old time memories. 👍🌻

[@charlenedickerson2880]

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!!!💞💞💞

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

That sounds FIRE!

[@tiffanyharris4545]

That sounds like Good Eating Boo! 😋

[@smithsonna035]

Yes but I need my onion and cucumber 2....I usually do all 3 in vinegar with pepper, salt & a lil sugar😋

[@deehawkins4504]

This takes me back to my childhood, my mother used to make these, thank you for the recipe.

[@tawilson29]

Good afternoon AB and family. You got my mouth watering. I don’t know why I don’t make hot water cornbread more often. They are so easy to make. And I agree with the bits of onion so good. On another note, why can’t I get my cast iron to look as nice as yours 🤷🏾‍♀️ have a nice day 💖

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Hey Thea! Check out "how to season your cast iron" video on my channel! Do that a few times and it'll be exactly like mine!
