hot water cornbread
Southern fried pone
Hot water cornbread is a Southern American preparation where cornmeal is mixed with boiling water, formed into small patties, and fried until crisp.
The hot water creates a denser, chewier texture than baked cornbread.
The patties develop a crunchy exterior while staying soft inside: Grandma always made hot water cornbread to go with her greens.
