GREAT-GRANDMOTHER STEINBECK'S JOHNNYCAKE (CORNBREAD)



Great-Grandmother Steinbeck's Johnnycake (Cornbread) image

This recipe is out of my great-grandmother Bertha Iva Steinbeck's recipe box. She really was John Steinbeck's aunt. She lived in Hollister, California, and died in the '30s. I've been making this since I was about 5 years old when my grandmother, Agnes Steinbeck Bowman decided I was old enough to learn to cook. It was actually the second thing I learned to cook...she wanted to see how I handled scrambled eggs before she introduced me to something that demanded some technique! I've never tasted better cornbread in my 47 years.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup white cornmeal
¼ cup white sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
¼ cup corn oil
1 egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch glass baking dish.
  • Sift the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, corn oil and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix just until blended. Pour into the prepared pan, and shake gently to level it out.
  • Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Serve hot. Just with butter will do, it is plenty sweet enough!
