Recreated Kentucky Fried Cornbread

Always love cornbread. My Granny always made it. This is old Kentucky recipe.

Fried Cornbread

2 cups self rising cornmeal
2 eggs
2 cups cold milk
1/4 cup melted shortening

Place cornmeal in a large bowl. Break eggs into cornmeal. Add milk and shortening. Stir together. Fry about 1/3 cup scoop at a time on a greased skillet until lightly browned on both sided. Serve while hot.

My Mom was from southeastern Kentucky. Growing up, she often made fried cornbread. It was great!! Have not had it in years. Think I will try the recipe.

My mother made it too. Good with collards turnip greens, pintos or any kind of beans. She liked it better than regular corn bread because it had more crust. I did too.

It can't be too old if it uses self rising flour!

Sounds really good. A piece of cornbread is something I really enjoy when I can get it.
