Egg Bread Recipe

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:

1. 2-3 hours beforehand, cover bread with milk and let soak. (This can be done for a shorter amount of time if necessary.)
2. Preheat oven to 350.
3. Melt butter or margarine.
4. While butter is melting, mix and mash bread and milk mixture well then add remaining ingredients. Mix in melted butter.
5. Add the entire mixture to a greased 9″ pie pan or baking dish.
6. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown.
