Ingredients
2 cup corn meal
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp soda
2 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
Directions
Prepare large cast iron skillet: grease generously with bacon
drippings so that bottom of skillet is well covered. Place skillet in
400 F. oven to heat. Meanwhile prepare batter: Combine dry
ingredients, add eggs and butter milk, mixing well. Remove skillet
from oven when grease starts to smoke; scrape batter into skillet.
Batter must start to sizzle as soon as it hits skillet. Place in
oven and continue baking for 20-25 minutes, or until browned on top.
I don't use this skillet for anything but corn bread and I never wash
it, just wipe out well. After a few times you will find the corn
bread will fall out of pan easily and intact. Courtesy Telephone

The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, mint and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the East, including spices like rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused a torrent in recipe books, some of which are kept safe in private collections. When we get to the 20th century, cooking books are in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
