Here's the recipe for Egg Bread. If you make cornbread, you can just use it instead! That's what my grandmother does!
Egg Bread
2 eggs
2 tsp salt
2 ½ cups cornmeal
1 tsp soda
2 cups buttermilk
3 tsp baking powder
3 T melted shortening
Beat eggs together; add buttermilk, shortening, and salt. Add meal, you may need to adjust the amount of meal as meal varies and the batter should be a medium batter. I sue the white, fine ground, Dixie Lily Cornmeal. Beat smooth. Sift in the baking powder, and dissolve the soda in a spoonful or cold water. Add to mixture, stir well and pour into greased and heated 9 x 13 x 2 baking pan. Bake in preheated 425 degree oven for about 20-30 minutes until browned and crusty.
