My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.

Bread - Johnny Cake

1 cup cornmeal
2/3 cup white flour
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp butter (melted)
1 cup buttermilk (or sour milk)

Put all dry ingredients into a bowl.  Add buttermilk and butter and mix only enough to moisten well.  Pour into greased pan and bake 24 - 30 mins in 400 degree oven.

Tip:  If buttermilk is not available, add 2 Tbsp of vinegar to regular milk.  Stir and allow to sit for a few minutes.
