How do you keep baked cornbread warm?

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.

How did pioneers in America make cornbread in 1770?

The pioneers wouldn't have had access to cornmeal from a grocery store, so they would have first had to plant and grow the corn. The corn would have been harvested and allowed to dry before grinding it into cornmeal. All that took place before making the cornbread could begin. Their cornbread would most likely be a mixture of ground corn (cornmeal), water or milk, a little salt and a bit of fat. It would have been cooked in a Dutch oven or a spider, a three-footed pot, in the fireplace.

What can you use to substitute cornmeal in corn bread recipes?


Just to clarify (because previous answer was incorrect): You do not use CORNMEAL to thicken with. You use CORNFLOUR.

If you do not have cornmeal then you can substitute POLENTA, which is nothing more than a coarser-ground cornmeal, more or less. You can stick it in a blender or food processor to make it more finely-ground if you wish but it isn't necessary. It really depends on what you're using it for.
