I grew up on fried cornbread. When momma didn't have anything for me to eat before school she would fry some cornbread and pour corn syrup on it and that was my breakfast. Sometimes for dinner momma would fry corn bread and chop up a bunch of onions put that in the batter and then fry it. We usually had a mess of pintos or butters when she cooked it that way. God bless

Your comment was like a page of my life. :) I think I can "one up" you though... We were so poor that once, all we had was cornmeal, so Mama once made fried cornbread from meal and water and then made "gravy" with the meal... That was horrible! :) (had it been made with flour, it would have been OK.)

Finally, after 40 years, I found the fried cornbread I was served as the houseguest of a Southern family who were, like you, Tipper, from North Carolina. I've never seen it mentioned in any story about Southern cooking. The family just called it cornbread, but I watched the women folk mix it up and fry it, and anyway there's no mistaking the cooking method from the way it comes out, crispy on the edges and flat as a pancake. For the family I stayed with it had the advantage of being amenable to last-minute decisions about supper.

She fries it in a skillet and pours the batter in the oil in small drizzles. Similar to the way a funnel cake would be made but they are much smaller. About the size of the palm of your hand.

Tipper, once again you bring back a flood of memories. Mommy used to make them the way you do and we loved them. We also had Cracklin's too but she put them in the cast iron skillet and made a pone on cornbread. I loved them with butter and homemade syrup over them. I remember her also making what she called Fritters but they were made with flour instead of mixing cornbread with it. She'd fry them up and they were as light as could be and oh so good. I've tried duplicating them through the years but have failed in getting her results. I was a young boy and we just didn't hang out in kitchen with Mommy to learn her recipes, and rue to this day that I didn't, she was such a good cook. Our home was on Irish Creek but we pronounced it Arsh Creek. It was a little ways from Blaine, Ky. We say we came from Louisa but if you lived within 20 miles from Louisa, that's where you where from. I don't know whether or not my failure at making the flour Fritters was due to my taste buds not being those of a 10 to 12 year old or my failing memory. I'll be 74 in a week or two and would Love to have another of Mommy's Corn Fritters or especially one of her Flour ones before I go. If you have a recipe for the flour fritters I would Love to see it. Good work on your Video's, wife and I both Love to watch them together.

North Louisiana raised but poor country folks had to be creative and make do with whatever was close to hand. So many of your stories about food and growing up listening to older relatives talk about how things were done back then are very similar to how I was raised. We grew up on hot water (fried) cornbread. Boiling hot water was poured over Cornmeal, salt, with a pinch of leavening to make a thick dough. We always used cold water on our hands to shape the patties to combat the heat and keep the dough from sticking to our hands. Then fry them in a cast iron skillet in hot smoking oil. My mother loved eating her grandmother’s hot water cornbread and thought it was so neat how great grannie left a thumb print in each one she made. Cornbread baked in the oven was called skillet bread.

In my family in Maryland's Piedmont region, cornbread very rarely appeared. My Mom-mom, however, made what she called corn cakes frequently and year round. She would make her usual pancake batter out of her head, no recipe or measuring of ingredients, and add either fresh sweet corn cut from the cob or a pint jar of her canned corn. Her pancakes were always wonderful, but the addition of the corn boosted them into the stratosphere. We ate them slathered with Blue Bonnet margarine, butter being too costly, and King Syrup. The syrup was thick and had a mild molasses flavor no where near as strong as black strap. It was produced in Baltimore and is still available here, but I rarely use it because I'm diabetic (type 2) and it is now made with high fructose corn syrup which I try to avoid as much as possible. I so appreciate your videos as they rekindle memories of growing up in a world, gone forever now, but so much better than where we find ourselves today.

I'm pretty sure that corn meal "mix" implies that it has flour in it, not that it's necessarily self-rising. You can buy self-rising corn meal that is not "mix", it's just self-rising corn meal. But I am thinking that you do want corn meal "mix" for this recipe so that you do get some flour in it. That way the batter is smoother and works better for frying. By the way, I only use white corn meal and corn meal mix, and like you, buttermilk only. I don't care for yellow corn meal at all. And no "sweet" milk. Like you said, my grandmother just used water with it and they were perfect. I love pepper jellies too, but I think it's hard to beat molasses on a piece of buttered cornbread, baked or fried. Thank you for all you do in saving this valuable piece of Americana.

Hot water cornbread is a little lighter in texture than what you made in your skillet It seems. it is all so good though.. delightful memories in the kitchen. Thank you for you bringing memories of home and family to mind.

In Robeson County, NC people eat collard sandwiches which are two pieces of cornbread with collards in the middle. Sometimes people add chow chow or bacon and likely vinegar.

We always called them Johny cakes, if they were made like pancakes. My favorite way is made like bread in a 9x9 pan. Take a square while it's hot and pour milk on it and sprinkle it with sugar and cinnamon. Had that a lot for breakfast in the winter. Soo good!

I love fried cornbread ! I put chopped onion in mine because that is how my Grandma made it - my Grandma made a pan of bread and some type of fresh greens everyday - if she made spaghetti, she also had a pan of bread and fresh greens - my Grandma made her own cornmeal mix - she had a glass five gallon jug under her sink ready to go ! Her house smelled like greens and cornbread everyday!

This lady is deep south. She is kitchen skilled on terms/techniques/names/ methods you can cook this cornbread. I learned a lot here

Good morning Tipper, I'm so happy that you made "fried cornbread 😋 " I've tried many times and could not get the mix just right. I use only White Lily self rising meal and buttermilk but I think my mistake was not letting the mix set for ten minutes or so. My fried cornbread always fell apart. I'm going to try again and use your recipe. Your supper sounds really good. Thanks for more wonderful APPALACHIA LIVING. Jeri Whittaker

My Grandpa made them all the time for the two of us before we’d go squirrel hunting or fishing... always fried in bacon grease.

We called them "Corn Dodgers". Mom would make a HUGE batch of them. We'd put them in our back packs and take them hunting, camping or to work.

My mama always cooked cornbread in the oven and taught me that way. My mother-in-law fried it and it was so crispy and good. I’ve tried but never been able to get it to come out like hers.

Cornbread ❤️ , yes grew up on fried cornbread and skillet baked. Momma loved it with sweet milk. I like it with jam or syrup, even honey. All the names you've read about cornbread and the two cookbook authors just add so much to this humble serving. It's all good!

We always called it corn bread and my mother would cook it often. She also cooked fried potatoes quite a bit and beans and taters as she would call it. My grandad used to break the cornbread up and soak it in buttermilk and eat it that way. I never liked it like that, but I used to dip it in honey or butter and that was pretty good.

I love it! We also called it fried cornbread in southern Arkansas. I like it plain, with honey, with pinto beans, or even dipped in a little ketchup. We used self-rising corn meal mix too. Thank you for sharing.

I grew up in Arkansas and my mother used to make fried cornbread when it was too hot to heat the oven. I loved it and we had it very often. We never called it anything but 'fried cornbread'. My mother fried it in Crisco in a black iron skillet. It was served with everything. My mother made cornbread (baked in a skillet) or fried cornbread nearly every night. On the table, there would be a type of cornbread and a plate with a stack of white 'loaf bread' from a packet (usually Bunny Bread). She would serve everything in big bowls and we'd pass them around. Iced tea. I never knew anyone ate any other way than this until I grew up and found out that this was kind of old fashioned even in the 70s. I was lucky!
