LIZZIE PORTER'S CORNBREAD
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups self-rising cornmeal
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup oil
Mix dry ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl and add buttermilk, egg
and vegetable oil or oil of your choice and stir until mixed.
Place in a well greased 9 inch diameter pie pan and bake at 400 degrees for
30 minutes until done and golden brown on top.
This recipe was used by Lizzie Porter, my grandmother on my Dad's side of
the family. Lizzie Porter for what ever reason, did not give out
recipes and most of her recipes were in her head. However, my sister
Susan Pettigrew just happened to be present when Lizzie Porter made her
cornbread and made mental notes of the recipe. I guess my sister got
the last laugh anyway....grin now.Bill aka Mickey Porter 02-28-09.
Below pix of Lizzie and George Porter taken a few decade ago...both lived
to be 93. Lizzie was 8 years younger that George and was in excellent
health until a few months prior to her death.
