GRANNY'S CORN BREAD



Granny's Corn Bread image

When I was a young bride, I tried so hard to make good corn bread. Try as I might, it always came out a dry, crumbly mess. On a visit with my granny in Tennessee, I asked her about it. She walked me through making great corn bread and I haven't had a problem since. This is real southern cornbread, not too sweet and not spicey,...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 c self-rising white or yellow corn meal (not mix)
1 c self-rising flour (martha white or white lily for best results)
1 Tbsp sugar (optional)
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 c oil (i use canola oil)
1 1/4 c buttermilk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Put about 1 to 2 tablespoons lard into a 8 to 10 inch cast iron skillet and place into preheating oven.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add eggs, oil and milk. Combine with fork until all ingredients are mixed well. DO NOT USE MIXER!! Batter should be about the consistency of muffin batter. Be very careful not to overbeat.
  • 3. Remove hot iron skillet from oven. Pour batter into hot skillet and bake for about 25 minutes or until edges are golden brown and are beginning to pull away from pan. Turn out onto a serving plate. Let stand a few minutes before cutting. I always serve this with soups, stews or soup beans. You can also serve hot with honey butter.

GRANNY'S CORNBREAD



Granny's Cornbread image

This is my Granny Ganus' recipe. Everyone loved Granny's cornbread! I remember as a child biting off one end and spooning out the dough, then filling it with peas and snaps then eating it...lol! It was the best! I love making these and my kids love eating them! The meal for this is labeled "extra fine" and I've found it at Winn Dixie and Walmart stores. It can be labeled as Hall's or others, but the texture is very close to that of flour. I have only been able to find it in the south. This is not a "healthy" type of cornbread. My granny used lard when making these but I use canola oil and it's still awesome! I also use an iron skillet just as she did and I use a "special" metal spoon that is just the right size to make these. I dip it into water before scooping up the mix and drop it into the hot oil. I get almost the same shape as Granny's! This can be deep fried as well.

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup extra fine ground cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup water (heat to boiling)
1 egg
1/4 cup evaporated milk
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Mix meal, salt and baking powder together. Add boiling water, stir well with a spoon, it will be very stiff (the boiling water will start the cooking process before you fry it). Add egg and milk stir until well mixed. Mix will be very sticky, so wet hands and shape into submarine shaped ovals and drop into hot oil (you must keep hands wet or batter will stick to hands). Brown on all sides and remove. Place on paper towels to drain off excess oil. Serve.
