PA'S OLD-FASHIONED JOHNNY CAKE / CORNBREAD
The plain version was a staple during my dad's Depression-years childhood; but we rarely had it when I was growing up. My children expect this at least once a month as a regular feature on our Saturday morning breakfast menu OR when we have breakfast-for-supper. Prepare the optional sausage and hard-boiled eggs ahead of time, and it goes together quicker-n-anything!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425; grease a 13x9 pan.
- Add dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl, stir through, make a well in the center.
- In another bowl, add eggs, milk, and oil all at once; blend well.
- Add wet to dry ingredients, stir until moistened (don't over-mix or you'll be sorry!).
- Fold in optional ingredients. Sausage should be in crumbles or bite-size pieces.
- Pour into prepared pan; rap pan on counter-top several times to bounce out the air-bubbles.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes--top will be golden-brown.
- Serve with butter and maple syrup.
- OPTION #1: Add 1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese.
- OPTION #2: Add 1/2 - 1 cup of sweet corn (plain kernels); adds a neat "chewy" texture to the 'cake.'
- OPTION #3: Add 6 hard-boiled, chopped eggs.
- OPTION #4: Add 1 pound fried & drained pork sausage (crumbled) or links (bite-size).
- TIME-SAVING HINT: Gather a handful of 1-quart zipper bags, fill with DRY ingredients, and store in your cupboard. At meal-time, add wet ingredients as described.
HOT WATER CORNBREAD
Hot Water Cornbread has long been a staple in Black American cooking, and in households throughout in the South. It's made with only a handful of ingredients, fried in fat instead of baked, and is more similar to a hush puppy than a bread. White cornmeal is preferred to yellow in the South, but you can use either as long as it's finely ground. Some just use cornmeal. Others add a little baking powder for added texture. But the magic ingredient is really the boiling water, which cooks and softens the cornmeal so that the frying is just to crisp and color the exterior. This dish is a favorite of my southern in-laws, who love to prepare it for each special occasion and many days in between!

Steps:
- Heat about 1 cup of oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
- Add the cornmeal, baking powder, salt and sugar to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Stir in the boiling water. If the dough is still too dry to come together, add more boiling water in 1-tablespoon increments.
- Using a 3/4-ounce cookie scoop, scoop the mixture into the palm of your hand and flatten into a 2-inch patty. Working in batches, fry the patties until lightly golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the cornbread to a paper towel-lined plate using a fish spatula. Serve immediately.
CLASSIC CORNBREAD
Matt and Amy Bell, owners of the restaurant South on Main, usually avoid cooking contests. But the cornbread festival was different. "It's more of a community project than a competition," Matt says. "And it's directly outside the restaurant." The pair won the traditional category with their classic cornbread, a recipe developed by Amy's grandmother Nellie Mae. "You don't dare mess with family recipes," Matt says. "And if you do, you better make sure they can't tell."

JOHNNY REB CORNBREAD
Oh I do love cornbread. I have tried hard to figure out how to make a cereal out of it and call it cornybreads. Yeah yeah I know 'make cornmeal mush'. NO!! I mean little squares of crunchy cornbread, pre-sweetened a bit. Till then I guess I will stick with my late night glass of milk over crumbled cornbread. Now there are...

Steps:
- 1. Stir together dry ingredients. Then add egg, oil, and enough buttermilk to make a batter a bit thinner than brownie batter but thicker than cake batter. Pour this into greased pan. It is best baked in a 10 inch cast iron skillet. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven about 20-30 minutes till done and lightly browned on top.
- 2. Notes: Now one of the best things about Johnny Reb cornbread is that nice crispy crust. There is a trick to getting that crust. Put your liberally greased pan in the oven and get it almost smoking hot before pouring in the batter. When you pour in that batter you should hear a sizzle and the edges will look like they are trying to curl a bit.
- 3. You can also make corn dodgers with this batter. Make it as above but leave it just a touch thicker, liberally grease a skillet, about ¼ inch in the bottom, get it hot, then drop your cornbread batter in by quarter cups, fry on one side over medium heat till golden brown then flip over and fry other side till done.
- 4. Now with the addition of some water or regular milk and omit the baking powder and baking soda, you can make hoecakes, the batter should be thinned to about pancake batter thickness and cook the same as the dodgers. Now you can add sugar to this if you like I would say ¼-½ cup depending on how sweet ya like it.
GREAT-GRANDMOTHER STEINBECK'S JOHNNYCAKE (CORNBREAD)
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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch glass baking dish.
- Sift the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, corn oil and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix just until blended. Pour into the prepared pan, and shake gently to level it out.
- Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Serve hot. Just with butter will do, it is plenty sweet enough!

MOIST JOHNNY CAKE
A favorite recipe from my Grandmother's recipe box. Raised in western Micjigan, I always thought that cornbread should be sweet. I found, when I settled in the South, that it 'taint always so. But I still like it better that way!
