As a treat for you, as I’m waiting for my zucchini bake to well, bake, I’m going to record my grandmother’s recipe for this thick, cake-like cornbread.
Ingredients (all approximate):
- 3/4 cups yellow corn meal (non-rising)
- 3 slices white bread
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 stick of butter or margarine
- 1 egg
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- dash of salt
- dash of baking soda
Directions:
- 2-3 hours beforehand, cover bread with milk and let soak. (This can be done for a shorter amount of time if necessary.)
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Melt butter or margarine.
- While butter is melting, mix and mash bread and milk mixture well then add remaining ingredients. Mix in melted butter.
- Add the entire mixture to a greased 9″ pie pan or baking dish.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown.
