Fried Cornbread

Posted on August 28, 2024

Here’s a classic recipe for fried cornbread, also known as “corn pone” or “hoecakes”:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup buttermilk (or regular milk)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for frying)
  • ½ cup water (adjust for consistency)

Instructions:

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Stir in the buttermilk and melted butter.
  3. Combine:
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add a little water to reach a thick, but pourable consistency.
  4. Heat the Pan:
    • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the bottom.
  5. Fry the Cornbread:
    • Spoon or pour small amounts of batter onto the hot skillet, forming small pancakes (about 2-3 inches in diameter). Cook until bubbles form on the surface, and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
    • Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve:
    • Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels if desired. Serve hot with butter, honey, or syrup.

Enjoy your delicious fried cornbread!
