Indian Corn Breads

We have not done much with Indian corn and griddle cakes on this project yet. In the Spring time in the States corn-based breads have a long and storied history, particularly in the SouthEast. They also have their roots in the South, the Civil War, back-yard family gatherings, and various different events/moments that conjure for some a very complex tapestry of experiences and emoitions when we talk about corn bread. The town of S. Pittsburg, TN even hosts and annual corn-bread festival replete with eating contests, cook-offs, etc. This evening we'll take on a fusion project of making Southeastern corn muffins, think Baltimore style with good bits of corn in them - and look to infuse them with a delectible Indian spices or possibly a dipping sauce. More to follow.
