Corn Bread Recipe like Mexican Cornbread Recipe or Corn Meal Pancakes

The corn bread recipe is probably the most diverse of all bread recipes. I have had cornbread my whole life. It has ranged from the most horrible dry tasting stuff to the most luscious moist kind. Cornbread can be fried in bacon fat in the form of a hoecake recipe or skillet bread. Today corn meal is ground in many degrees of textures, from extremely coarse to very fine, making it suitable for many different types of recipes. Products added like baking powder and baking soda make the cornbread much lighter than the old time versions; products like sour cream and buttermilk make it much more moist. Some of the recipes are even sweetened quite a bit making it taste almost like cake.

HOE CAKE RECIPE

This hoe cake recipe is a corn bread recipe which is fried in hot fat.

• 1 Cup self rising cornmeal


• 1 ½ Cups boiling water

Pour cornmeal into boiling water while stirring. Let cool. Shape into small patties and fry in hot fat.

Hush puppies are made from a corn bread recipe; batter is then dropped by spoonfuls and fried in hot oil. Our traditional way of having cornbread was simply mixing and baking in the oven. Corn bread dates back to the early American Indians who used to cook it over the open fires. The people of South and Central American also make a lot of different corn breads. I even tried a corn bread cake with icing on it in Costa Rica.

HUSH PUPPIES RECIPE

Hush puppies recipes are usually seasoned more than a regular corn bread recipe, usually with onion or a little garlic, then fried. These are great served with seafood. Or with anything!

• ¼ Teaspoon baking soda


• ½ Cup buttermilk


• 1 Cup cornmeal


• ½ Teaspoon baking powder


• ½ Teaspoon salt


• 1 Beaten egg


• ¼ Cup finely chopped onion


• Vegetable oil

Dissolve soda in the buttermilk and stir well. Combine the cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Stir in the buttermilk mixture, egg and onion; mix well. Drop by tablespoonfuls into hot oil and fry until brown on all sides.
