When we had our perch fry last week, we had corn bread as a side dish. You may have noticed in the picture a pan of corn bread with some honey butter next to the fish. Jennifer has a great recipe that she uses for making corn bread. It is a recipe that my great aunt, Margaret Booth taught her while we stayed with her for a couple of weeks in Fresno. It is very yummy and worth trying. It is a great addition to a fish dinner.
½ box yellow cake mix (this is the secret ingredient)2 eggs
2 cups milk
½ cup butter
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
Add together the ingredients listed above and beat for two minutes
Mix in 1 cup corn meal
Pour into a greased 9 X 13 inch pan
Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes
Honey butter is my favorite spread for this. Mix 8 parts butter with 1 part honey (1/2 cup butter (1 stick) with 1 tablespoon of honey). If you are bringing it for lunch the next day, spread the honey butter on top of a piece of corn bread. Cut the bottom half off and stick it on top. This way the honey butter is in the middle and won’t get all over the sides of a zip lock bag and you don’t have to worry about bringing the honey butter separately. This is also the way I bring cake for lunch.
i love how you put every little detail. i always have to have every little detail spelled out for me. i hate when people just say the basics and then walk away thinking i am going to get it. but then i go and give vague directions to everybosy else and not notice.
