You are the first to give measurements for all of the ingredients and the hot water. Thank you! I want to try this for my family and wasn't sure about the hot water measurement.

I needed a refresher, so I viewed your video. I made collard greens and wanted the hot water cornbread to top it off. Same as I remember my mom making, it was super good! Thanks!!

This recipe is the same as the recipe for AREPAS only you can use lukewarm water vs the hot water. Make up the dough as she says here, in this video then let the dough rest for about 10min. Break the dough into gulf-sized balls, flatten them (not too thin) so they're circular + a little thinner/flatter than hers, then put them onto a hot, greased griddle (I use an electric one) or into hot oil in a frying pan. Fry each side for a few minutes. Transfer the arepas onto a lightly greased cookie sheet + bake them in the oven for 15min at 350°F. Let them cool for about 5min before GENTLY + SLOWLY cutting them open at the top letting the knife slowly sink down into the aprepa forming a pocket. (You'll have to SLOWLY + GENTLY move the knife around to "dig" a pocket each arepa.) You can then get creative + fill the pocket with whatever you like- ground beef + cheese (like a ground up cheeseburger), ham + cheese, black beans + crumbling cheese, mozarrela + pizza sauce, you name it! (You'll want to use a cheese that is salty or you can just add salt.) There are plenty of recipes for arepas on the internet. Each country + each home has their own unique way of doing theirs; so, experiment + have fun! Cornmeal + corn flour (used to make tortillas) are wonderful to have around for when you're getting low on food + need to get creative (i.e. when your on SNAP/food stamps + it's the end of the month) so that you can feed your family!

*_Great job! 👍🏽 this looks delicious! I can eat good hot water cornbread all by itself! My great grandmother made hers perfect every time. Great balanced flavors; Nice & crispy on the inside coated with creamy quality butter 🧈 and it was magically soft on the inside. That just takes me back to her antique stove. It was bright white, clean, shiny and pristine condition._*

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

Thanks so much 😊

[@toniclark3512]

Looks so good, can you fry in butter?

[@SirLunchalot2]

That's a great explanation of an old southern recipe. We live in Texas and it is most often too hot to use the oven to make cornbread, we want it too often. These corncakes go with everything, beans, stew, greens, etc. You are the first person I found that even tried to tell how much water to use. We never measure anything, just depends on how much you want. My Mama had a teakettle on the stove and we just scoop up some meal and pour the hot water on it until it was right. There is no better cornbread in the world than this. Thank you so much for helping keep this recipe going. Cheers

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

I do mines the same way except I used to tbsp of butter in my mixture. Never tried to butter it afterwards because it’s was already sitting in that oil. Your patties did come out golden

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

Sometimes I add it to the mixture as well! I just prefer the taste of the butter on the outside! Thanks for watching 😊

[@ChristianAnderson-sv9xp]

Yes you are right I do mines the same way with a little butter and I fry mines in crisco oil it makes it crispy but you got to really boil that water hot I'm from Louisiana that's how we do it

Very good recipe. I love the yellow cornmeal when I make mine. I eat it with beans or various meals. One of make favorite ways to eat it I put some in a glass of milk or buttermilk and spoon it out. 😁😁😁😁

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

Hey! Thanks for watching and sharing!

[@chuckredd9131]

Wife thought I was crazy when I put cornbread in a bowl and added milk & salt. (Old family tradition for leftover cornbread)

[@gailtalley8037]

Ooo yuk 😂 I’m 70 years of age and this brought back memories of my mom putting cornbread in a glass of buttermilk and trying to get me to taste it I didn’t even drink milk as a child so I wasn’t about to try the buttermilk. She said it was good and I took her word 😂 Blessings 💜

This looks amazing! This northerner has never heard of this method. I’m gonna have to try this!

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching 😊

[@bgjblue]

This looks delicious! We use white AUNT JEMIMA cornmeal, lol. Yes, I know the name changed even though we never asked for that. ANY WHO! 😄 I may occasionally add a little bit of sugar, but usually its just cornmeal and a little salt so it's not so "fresh". Then add enough boiling water to get the consistency I want. It's a MUST for greens in north Louisiana (oven bread is just WRONG!!), but we eat it with peas and beans, too so I never add butter. My aunt wants it with almost EVERY meal!😄 Also, adding cold water to your hands as you make the pones keeps the cornmeal from sticking to your hands as well. Great video!

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

I’m like your aunt! I can eat it with pretty much any meal lol. Thanks for watching 😊

[@sharonbrown6784]

I'm happy to see that someone other me did not add sugar to the recipe, my grandmother/mother/aunts never did, however, I was told to have cold water on the side 😒 couldn't figure out why until I made a patty. I'm going to send this recipe without sugar to a lady to save her marriage 🤣

This is similar to what my family made but made thicker and baked in an iron skillet. Then sliced open to add cheese and put it back in the oven until the cheese softened. Do not know if the cornbread patties had to be turned over half way thru baking or not. Was a special treat when I was growing up. Wish I had learned how to make this from Mom before she passed.
