    Types of cornbread

     

    Baked cornbread

     

    Cornbread that is baked is considered a quick bread that depends on eggs and flour to help hold it together. Southern and Northern cornbreads are not the same because of using corn meal of different types and amount of eggs and sugar. Some Southern people crumble it in buttermilk using a spoon to eat it. Also it is very popular eaten with chili con carne, barbecue, or soup beans. Pinto beans with cornbread were considered a poor man’s meal. It has often been served with onion chunks, scallions, and butter.    

    Cornbread that is baked in a skillet is a moist cornbread recipe and a staple for rural areas in the U.S., especially in the South. They use lard or bacon drippings in iron skillets and pour the batter straight into the heated grease. The mixture comes out of the oven as a crumbly, large, and moist cake, having a crust that is crunchy. This type of cornbread is also used to make loaves, sticks, and muffins.

     

    Corn pone 

     

    Corn pone is also known as "Indian pone" and is made from a thick type of cornmeal dough and cooked over open fires in an iron pan and using margarine or butter. "Corn pone" is a term that is used to characterize particular folksy, hick, rural, or unsophisticated people of midwest and southern parts of the country.

     

    Hot water cornbread   

     

    Made with pouring self-rising cornmeal and hot water into hot oil in a skillet, it is cooked on top of the stove until the crust gets golden and crunchy. The middle of the batter comes out mushy, crumbly, and very soft and rich tasting. This kind of cornbread is also known as "scald meal" cornbread.

     

    Johnnycakes       

     

    A johnnycake is made with a batter like the skillet fried cornbread, but a little thinner and poured into a skillet or griddle of hot grease, producing bread similar to a pancake. Johnnycakes are prevalent in the New Englandstates, especially Rhode Island, along with the southern states.

     

    Hushpuppies       

     

    Hushpuppies have a thicker batter made with a buttermilk base and fried in a pan, often served as an accompaniment to seafood and other types of fish. Recipes are varied over the country; some include beer, jalapenos, onion seasoning, or chopped onions. If they are fried correctly, they come out moist, crunchy, and white or yellow on their inside, and dark golden brown on their outside.
