Green Chile Cheddar Hot Water Cornbread

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 Cups Fine Ground Yellow Cornmeal
• 2 tsp. Sugar
• 1 tsp, Kosher Salt
• ½ Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese

  Finely Shredded
• 2 Cups Water

  Boiling
• ¼ Cup Fresh Roasted Hatch Green Chiles

  Chopped
• Peanut, vegetable, or Canola Oil

  For Frying

Instructions

• 1 Shred all of the cheese and add to a large mixing bowl.
• 2 Add all other dry ingredients (cornmeal, salt, and sugar) to the same bowl and
  mix well.
• 3 Add 2 cups of water to a large pot and add chiles. Bring to a rolling boil.
• 4 Slowly add the water and chile mixture to the dry ingredients, a little at a
  time, constantly stirring. Once it is all mixed, it should have an oatmeal-like
  texture.
• 5 Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet to 375 degrees. Using a spoon or spatula,
  spoon a portion into the oil and form it into patties. The mixture will yield
  eight patties.
• 6 Once the edges begin to brown, flip over and cook for a couple more minutes
  until crispy.
• 7 Remove the patties to a wire rack to let excess grease drip off.
• 8 Serve warm.
