My Virginia aunt's old family recipe, thus the name Dominion. It's similar to cornbread in taste, but is much softer and should be served with a spoon, rather than cut. This is a comfort food for me, bringing back memories of my childhood. Delicious served with seafood! Ingredients:
1 cup cornmeal (i prefer yellow) |
2 cups boiling water |
2 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 whole eggs |
1 cup buttermilk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. Spray 9x9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. 3. Place cornmeal in pot. 4. Pour boiling water over cornmeal, stirring to moisten. 5. Cook cornmeal over low heat for 5 minutes stirring frequently, to form a mush . 6. Add salt, baking powder, baking soda, eggs, and buttermilk. 7. Stir to mix well. 8. **When you add baking soda and baking powder, this mixture will foam up, so be sure to use a larger pot than you think you'll need. 9. **Immediately pour batter into prepared 1-1/2 quart casserole casserole. 10. Bake 50-60 minutes or until set in the middle and lightly browned on top. |
