HOT WATER CORNBREAD
I was shocked the first time I tasted Hot Water Cornbread. How can something so simple taste so delicious? I have made this healthy version to accompany soup and to serve with vegan breakfast sandwiches. There are various recipes online but to keep them healthy they need to be baked or air-fried, not fried in oil.
To make the Hot Water Cornbread:
Combine in a bowl:
-1 cup yellow corn meal
-1 tsp baking powder
-1/4 tsp Himalayan pink salt, personal preference but you can use regular salt or other seasoning
Add just shy of 1 1/4 cups of boiling water or amount to create desired consistency. Stir until smooth. Let rest for 20 minutes.
Heat the oven to 400F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon out the batter and spread it to make a thin circle. Bake on center rack for 10 minutes, flip, then bake another 10 minutes or until golden brown. To reheat later can put in a toaster!
