POOR MAN'S CORNBREAD



Poor man's cornbread image

When I was little sometimes we would have "cornbread" night for supper. Mom would make a BIG pan of cornbread about 2 inches deep.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 c self rising corn meal, any brand
1 Tbsp solid shortening, crisco
1 1/2 c water
1 cast iron skillet

Steps:

  • 1. I been making this cornbread since I was 10 years old, and have never measured it. So the measurments are just a guess. If too thick add more water, to thin add more meal. This is a rustic and simple bread really good with soups
  • 2. I put the shortening into the iron skillet, place into a 500 degree oven to melt the shortening and get the skillet hot. About 5 minutes.
  • 3. In a bowl I put my cornmeal and start adding water. it will be about as thick as a cake batter. Remove skillet from oven and pour cornmeaml mixture into the pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
  • 4. When done dump out onto a plate and serve hot. Do not let it sit in the skillet or it will "sweat" and make the crust soggy.
