About the Recipe: This recipe is a twist on traditional cornbread, and the idea of adding available meats or cheeses to bread probably was brought to our country by some of the Ellis Island immigrants. The cast iron skillet makes the crust crunchy and so delicious. Tiny pieces of ham and cheese are baked in the cornbread, which is moist and delicious to serve with soup or a salad.
Recipe Inspired and Served at: 2019 Cornbread Alley Recipes at the National Cornbread Festival – Boy Scout Troop #63
Cook’s Note: The original recipe used 1-1/4 cups self-rising cornmeal. Since our stores didn’t have this product, I substituted corn meal, all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. I also added the optional topping ingredients. The cornbread at the Festival was served in squares without any toppings.
Yield: Serves about 8
