SOUTHERN FRIED CORNBREAD

Steps:

• In a medium-sized bowl, mix cornmeal, salt, and water together. You'll want the consistency of thick cake batter. If it is too dry, add a little more water.
• In a cast iron skillet, heat bacon drippings and oil until almost smoking. You will know the oil is hot when a few drops of water sizzle when dropped into the skillet.
• Drop 2 tablespoons of cornmeal mixture into the oil and brown until golden crust forms around the edges of the cornbread (about 2 minuteand then turn and brown until cornbread is golden on the outside. Add more oil and/or bacon drippings if the skillet becomes too dry. Remove to a paper towel to drain and serve hot.

FRIED CORNBREAD (SOUTHERN STYLE)

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!

FRIED CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt.
• In separate bowl, mix milk, butter, and egg.
• Add milk mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
• Stir in the cheese.
• Pour approximately 1/4 cup batter onto a lightly greased griddle or skillet; flatten batter slightly.
• Cook until lightly browned on both sides.
• If batter becomes too thick add a small amount of milk.

OVEN-FRIED CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, whisk together cornmeal, onion powder, and salt. Add water and whisk well to combine until there are no lumps; batter will be thin and runny.
• Pour bacon fat into the pan, coating the bottom in an even layer. Pour the cornbread batter into the center of the pan, allowing it to spread out untouched. (There will be a layer of bacon fat on top of the batter; this is normal.) Bake for 30 minutes.
• Cornbread is done when the edges are deep brown and gently curling inwards. Remove from oven and pour off remaining fat (which can be discarded or reserved for another use); let rest, 10 minutes. Flip the cornbread onto a flat work surface. Pat with paper towels to absorb extra grease. Cornbread will be dense, rich, and crisp on the edges. Slice into 8 squares and serve with butter (optional, but indulgent!).

FRIED CORNBREAD III

Steps:

• I use a self rising cornmeal mix for this.
• I use about 1 cup of cornmeal mix, about 2/3 to 3/4 cup of buttermilk, and 1 egg.
• You can adjust the amount of milk depending on how thick or thin you would like them to be. And then you just fry them just like pancakes.
• It's really simple. Also, sometimes my mom would add some chopped onion to these. Alicia Goodman
