"What I love about cooking is that after a hard day,
there is something comforting about the fact that
if you melt butter and add flour, then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing.
It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure!"
__Nora Ephron
"A good cook is like a sorceress who dispenses happiness."
__Elsa Schiaparelli
"Noncooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work
in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent,
so is the ballet. "

I have two or three different recipes for most things I cook, but when it comes to corn bread, corn pone, and biscuits, I have about twenty each. This is how my granny fixed corn pone in a skillet.
Skillet Corn Pone
Ingredients:
1 egg
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon bakin' powder
1 teaspoon bakin' soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups corn meal
1 and 3/4 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon cookin' oil
Instructions;
1) Beat together egg, sugar, bakin' powder, bakin' soda, and salt.
2) Add the corn meal and buttermilk. Combine thoroughly.
3) Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet and fry batter by 1/4 cups full.
Add more oil as needed.
4) Brown on both sides, then serve with butter, honey, jam,
or whatever you have a taste for.
and the best of intentions for whoever wants to try 'em,
but if somethin' goes wrong, don't blame the varmint.*
