My hot water cornbread never turns out the way that my mom, aunts and other relatives cook it, but my wife and son love it just the same. I use regular cornmeal, a teaspoon of salt, and about a 2 teaspoonsn of sugar. I mix all these dry ingredients together and in the meantime I boil some water. (It has to be boiling water) My great grandmother used to say that the boiling water pre-cooks the cornmeal before you fry it. You pour the boiling water into the ingredients and stir it up. I always add just a little bit of hot oil or bacon drippings. Do not put too much water or it will be soupy. You shape the mixture into balls use that big spoon that's bigger than your regular spoons but not nearly as big as the serving spoons and put them in your hot frying pan that has been preheated with oil. Some people deep fry them and some just pan fry them. I'm sorry I don't have exact measurements for the ingredients, but once you make them the first time, you'll know how much to use the next time. Generally it's about 2cups corn meal to 1 and 3/4 cups boiling water.
They will improve as you continue to make them each time.
I'm sure there are many other ways to make it, but I do it this way and it's good.
PS you can also add other ingredients such as Jalapenos, bacon, ham, cheese, onions, etc... be creative and enjoy.

Can you substitute heavy cream for milk in cornbread?
Heavy cream could be used for milk in cornbread, but the baked cornbread might be heavy and too dense, because of the high fat content of heavy cream. It would be better to thin the heavy cream with water to bring it closer to the consistency of milk before using it in cornbread.

Can you use white cornmeal for cornbread?
Yes, you can :). The first time I ever had homemade cornbread, they had used white cornmeal. I've also actually used Masa Harina flour ( like what you use to make tortillas) in a pinch and it baked up beautifully and had a "Mexican" flavor to it. My husband actually preferred it to the regular cornbread I make with yellow cornmeal. So, long story short- yes, you can!
