Cornbread, Hoe Cakes and Hushpuppies: Cornbread

» Joy Butler - Cornbread

Things have been so busy I'm just now getting around to reading this article. It's so well written though, I could almost smell the cornbread cooking. I've made it both baked and fried but actually prefer the moistness of the fried version and it goes so well with so many foods. I also love the oniony flavor of hush puppies and can make a meal of them with a bowl of cole slaw. I want to try your recipe.

It seems I heard somewhere once that "hoecakes" were so named because the pioneers used to make them over open fires and would turn them with a hoe.
