Steps:
- Combine the cheese, cream cheese, butter and chipotles in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Scoop the cheese mixture into 4 balls on a baking sheet using a medium ice cream scoop. Freeze until hard, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray 4 tall 8-ounce ramekins (ours were 2 inches tall on the outside and 3 1/2 inches wide) with nonstick cooking spray and dust lightly with flour.
- Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, oil and egg in a small bowl. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry until smooth.
- Put 2 tablespoons of the batter into each prepared ramekin to coat the bottom. Put one cheese scoop in the middle of the batter in each ramekin, making sure there is a 1/4-inch border all the way around the cheese mixture (you do not want it to touch the sides). Divide the remaining batter among the ramekins and place on a baking sheet. Bake until puffed and slightly golden around the edges, about 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Invert onto a plate, top with a pat of butter and serve.
FRIED HOT WATER CORNBREAD CAKES
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Place the water and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a full boil over high heat.
- Remove the water from the stove and add the cornmeal, bacon drippings or butter, and sugar, if using. Stir until a stiff dough is formed. Let the mixture stand just until it is cool enough to handle, or about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Shape the dough into palm-sized cakes. Set aside.
- Heat a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron , over medium heat. Add enough shortening or bacon drippings to coat the bottom of the pan.
- When the fat is hot, place the cakes in the hot skillet. Fry until lightly browned on the bottom.
- Turn the cakes over and fry until brown. Repeat the process with all the cakes. Serve hot.
- Enjoy!

CORNBREAD DRESSING WITH GRAVY
A family favorite. My 71-year-old dad's mother made an old-fashioned cornbread dressing without the modern convenience of cream soup mixes and bagged stuffing mix. She taught my mother, who passed this version on to me. I believe people came to my mom's house for Thanksgiving and Christmas for this one dish! Everyone asks for the recipe when I bring it along for a holiday potluck, or they tell me how much it reminds them of the old-fashioned dressing their grandmother made.

SWEET CAKE-LIKE CORNBREAD RECIPE
Because I grew up in two households, I learned to make cornbread two ways. One way, was to put it in a cast iron skillet- and this resulted in a firmer sort of cornbread. The other, was this cake like way that many people already know and love.

- If you prefer a sweeter cornbread cake, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the batter. For a savory twist, incorporate chopped bacon, jalapeños, or cheese.
- To make the savory gingernut gravy, use a robust chicken or vegetable broth as the base. Enhance the flavor by adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and freshly ground black pepper.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free cornbread mix or almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can also substitute Greek yogurt or mashed avocado for the eggs.
- Serve the cornbread puddle cakes with additional gravy on top, along with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.
