OLD FASHIONED SOUTHERN CORNBREAD



Old Fashioned Southern Cornbread image

Got this recipe from the Lodge Cast Iron Cookbook, made in my cast iron skillet. I added the sugar to it; most cooks in the South refuse to put sugar in their cornbread. This uses plain self-rising cornmeal, no flour added.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 Tbsp bacon grease or butter
1 c self-rising cornmeal
2 Tbsp sugar
1 egg
3/4 c buttermilk

Steps:

  • 1. Place the bacon grease or butter in the bottom of a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Preheat it at 425°F for 10 minutes.
  • 2. Meanwhile, mix up batter: Stir together cornmeal, sugar, egg, and buttermilk to a thin batter.
  • 3. When skillet is preheated, pour batter into skillet. It will sizzle and start to form a crust - don't be alarmed. Bake the skillet of cornbread at 425°F about 20-23 minutes, until nicely browned.
  • 4. Cut into wedges. Serve immediately with lots of butter.

MAPLE-PECAN CORNBREAD



Maple-Pecan Cornbread image

Our state trails only Vermont in the production of maple syrup in the U.S. I have many childhood memories of tapping our maple trees in early spring and watching the sap come out. Corn bread, or johnnycake as it's called here in scenic Mohawk Valley, was a staple of the men fighting in the Revolutionary War. The volunteers, who were known as "Johnnys", carried their rations with them, and the johnnycakes held up well for days.
