hot water cornbread
I grew up eating this cornbread. It is simply ground corn meal (not cornbread mix) salt and water. My family called the cornbread that rises Egg Bread. It is rustic, decidedly Southern and simple to make.

Step 6You can also cook the cornbread into patties on top of the stove. After adding cooking oil to the cast iron skillet and heating, drop the cornmeal by teaspoons into the hot oil. Brown the first side and then flip and brown the second side. Drain on paper towel and serve hot. It only takes a couple of minutes to cook on each side.
