I found this recipe in a cookbook called The Wooden Spoon Bread Book by Marilyn M Moore. And I really do like it. I have made it with sour milk and also with the dried Buttermilk powder that is available at the grocery stores here. I much prefer the buttermilk in it. One place to get true stone ground corn meal, unless you grind it yourself, is at Walnut Acres Penns Creek PA 17862. And they did have a free catalog that they would send you that gives the prices. It is a little expensive, but they have many things that you do not find in the shopping mall supermarkets.

Add enough corn meal to hold chestnuts together, mixing chestnuts and cornmeal with boiling water. Wrap in green fodder or green corn shucks, tying each bun securely with white twine. Place in a pot of boiling water and cook until done. Salt when eating if desired. Bean bread can be made the same way, but cook beans until tender before adding cornmeal.

Now, I said above that this makes 48, I've never counted, so I don't know for sure. But it sure does make a bunch. The main reason why I said 48 is because the program, MenuMaster, won't let you past that field unless you tell it something. Justin Wilson says, "Hush puppy is an old Southern term that originated after the Civil War. People didn't have enough for themselves to eat let alone feed their dogs, so when the old hounds started barking from hunger, they would throw pieces of fried corn bread to them, yelling, 'Shut up, dog! Hush puppy!"

Allow to stand at room temp. for 1/2 hour before using. Danny Scriven if you read this, compare it to one of your cornbread recipes and if you can improve on the above would be pleased to hear from you. From: Bill Herringshaw ~ `JOHNNY CAKE #2 Two cups Indian corn, one cup wheat, One cup good eggs that you can eat, One-half cup molasses too. One big spoon sugar added thereto, Salt and soda, each a small spoon. Mix it up quickly and bake it soon. That translates to: 2 c. cornmeal 1 T. sugar 1 c. flour 1 t. salt 4 eggs 1 t. baking soda 1/2 c. molasses - Mix the cornmeal, flour, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the molasses and soda mixed together. Add this to the dry ingredients. Incorporate the liquid with as little beating as possible, but make sure all entire mixture is moistened. Pour out onto a heated griddle and bake until golden. Traditionally, johnny cake was baked on a hoe blade over an open fire, but I can't see this unless you're going for authenticity at a pioneer settlement re-creation. Sidelight on the derivation of the name: although many people believe it's a corruption of "journey cake", a new school of thought maintains it's a poor attempt to pronounce the Algonkian word "shaw-nee", meaning "bread".
