I hope you enjoy this Civil war recipe
Wheat flour was quite scarce in the south during the Civil War, so soldiers baked bread from available ingredients such as white cornmeal. I find it amazing that soldiers in that time had to think outside the box in order to get the nutrients they needed to keep on going. Now you can use another type of flour but if you would like a little taste of history I'd stay using the cornmeal.
Ingredients:
-1 Tb Butter
-2 Cups White Cornmeal (not self-rising)
-2 Tsp Baking powder
-¾ Tsp salt
-2 eggs
-2 Cups milk
-¼ Cup oil
Directions:
-Pre heat oven to 400 F
-Grease 9” square baking pan with butter
-Combine dry ingredients
-In a small bowl whip the eggs with a fork and combine with milk and oil
-Mix wet and dry ingredients together
-Add to baking pan
-Bake for 20-25min or until lightly brown on top
I hope you enjoy this recipe!
