To the person who wanted cornbread cooked in a skillet:

I'll bet you are talking about Hot Water Cornbread, or Fried
cornbread. It is wonderful. You take about two cups of
cornmeal, a teaspoon full of salt, and about a half a stick of
margarine. Bring water to boil, and when it is boiling, pour it
over the dry mixture. Use enough water to make the meal mixture
leave the sides of the bowl and become a sticky kind of ball in
the bowl. You will have to judge how much water. Then make
patties in your hand about three inches across and fry them in
hot grease in an iron skillet. When brown on one side, turn the
patties over and brown the other side.

Subject: HOT WATER CORNBREAD

2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 t. salt
2 T. Crisco
2 c. boiling water
1/2 t. baking powder
2 T. warm water

Combine cornmeal and salt in a bowl. Add Crisco. Bring 2 cups
of water to a rolling boil; add to cornmeal mixture, stirring 
well. Let cool 20 minutes. Combine baking powder and 2 T. warm 
water. Add to cornmeal mixture and stir. Shape dough into 
one-inch balls. Press each ball between two fingers to make a 
slight indention on sides. Carefully drop shaped
dough into deep hot oil (375 degrees). Cook only a few at a
time. Fry 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve 
immediately. Makes about 2 dozen.

(I sometimes shape mine into pones, about 2-1/2 to 3 inches long
and 2 inches wide. I also wet my hands when shaping, keeps the 
mixture from sticking to your hands and also helps if you are
working with very hot mixture).

Option: Add 1/4 c. minced onion

Option: add 1/4 cup of minced onion to the mixture

Subject: SKILLET CORN BREAD


The bread you are referring to is called Hot Water Corn Bread.
you will need about 2 cups Corn meal I use Martha White Plain
a pinch of salt, and 2 pinches of sugar.
I mix all of the dry ingredients together and I get the cast Iron
skillet out I put water in the skillet and let it come to a
boil. After it comes to a boil I pour it into the mix you don't
want to pour to much water into the mix at once because it will
become to waterre and once you put skillet it will not taste
right. After you stir the mix you are going to use the same
skillet pour out any left over water and wipe out the skillet you
can't have any water left in it because you are going to put
cooking oil in the skillet once the oil gets hot take a
tablespoon and put 2 tablespoons of the mixture in your hands
make a pattie out of it and place it into the oil turn the heat
on the stove to about 5 and watch to ensure that it does not burn
you want a golden brown color on each side, depending on the size
of the skillet you will be able to fit at least 6 in a skillet. 
If the first batch does not work out no worries it has taken me
25 years to get it to a science and some Sundays I still have
problems. The blessing of the lord be upon you and I bless you
in the name of the lord.

Subject: OLD FASHIONED BUTTER ROLL

My Mom use to make what was called a Butter Roll. This was done
to provide a dessert when there were no longer canned, dried or
fresh fruit left in the winter months.

BUTTER ROLL
Roll the pie crust as thin as you would for a pie. Cut into
squares approx. 3 to 4 inches. Spread each square with butter
generously. Sprinkle with sugar and nutmeg. Roll each square into
a roll and pinch or use a fork to close the ends. Place in a
backing pan/dish and bake at 350-375 F. While this is baking
prepare the sauce. In a sauce pan place butter, water sugar,
vanilla and nutmeg. Heat this mixture until it become a runny
sauce (not to thick). When the butter rolls have browned, while
pan is still in the oven pour the sauce mixture gently over the
rolls and return to the oven until most of the mixture is
absorbed then remove from the oven let set for approx. another 10
to 15 mins. Serve warm or cold. I like to serve with a scoop of
vanilla ice cream. The sauce mixture can be made with milk in
place of the water as well. As you can see there are no specific
measurement but to your own taste for sweetness and flavors.
