Time 20m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup self-rising cornmeal mix
2/3 cup water
1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Mix first two ingredients to make a batter --- add more or less water depending on how thick or thin you want your cornbread patties. The best way would be to mix in small amounts of water at a time to get the consistency you want.
  • In a skillet or frying pan bring oil up to medium heat and test 1/2 teaspoon drop of batter, You do not want it to fry too fast. I normally cook mine on #6 and then furn down to #5 on my stove. Drop by tablespoons full and pat out with back of spoon to make a pattie. Turn over when bottom is light brown.
  • Serve and enjoy this tasty bread!

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.

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.

GREAT-GRANDMOTHER STEINBECK'S JOHNNYCAKE (CORNBREAD)



Great-Grandmother Steinbeck's Johnnycake (Cornbread) image

This recipe is out of my great-grandmother Bertha Iva Steinbeck's recipe box. She really was John Steinbeck's aunt. She lived in Hollister, California, and died in the '30s. I've been making this since I was about 5 years old when my grandmother, Agnes Steinbeck Bowman decided I was old enough to learn to cook. It was actually the second thing I learned to cook...she wanted to see how I handled scrambled eggs before she introduced me to something that demanded some technique! I've never tasted better cornbread in my 47 years.

GRANDMOTHER'S BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD



Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread image

This is BETHANY WEATHERSBY's from AllRecipes.com grandmother's recipe. I must say it is the best cornbread I've ever made and consume. It is sweet and moist, fast and easy to make. In the time it takes to preheat my oven I had prepared the recipe and ready to bake. Tastes so much better than the box kind. I had to put the recipe here because I keep all my favorite recipes on recipezaar.com.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal for the best flavor. Stone-ground cornmeal will give you a heartier, more rustic cornbread.
  • Add a little sugar to the batter to help the cornbread brown nicely.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough.
  • Use a cast-iron skillet to cook the cornbread. This will give you a crispy crust and a moist interior.
  • Preheat the skillet over medium heat before adding the batter. This will help prevent the cornbread from sticking.
  • Cook the cornbread for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Granny's fried cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
