I love hot water cornbread.

It's good with most anything or just a snack all alone.

The recipe I use:

2 C cornmeal
1 C all purpose flour
3 C boiling water
1 t Salt (more or less to taste)
1 t Baking Powder

Mix all dry ingredients together. Add boiling water reserving 1 C and mix well.
Continue to add reserved boiling water to mixture until a moist dough is formed allowing you to make patties out of it. Sort of feel thing of not to dry but, not so wet that you can't form a patty. Make it about the consistency of salmon patties.

Then fry the patties in 1/4 - 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet until a deep golden brown.
