Antebellum Rice Bread

  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Breads

 Ingredients List

  • 1 tb Melted butter
  • 1/2 tb Melted shortening
  • 1 c Cooked rice
  • 1/2 c Cornmeal
  • 1 ts Salt *
  • 1 ds Cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 c Milk
  • 3 Eggs, beaten

 Directions

This one is from The Bread Winners Cookbook by Mel London.

This recipe was given to me by an old friend in Savannah, who told me that
it was a favorite breakfast bread on the plantations.

* The salt, though traditional, may be eliminated if you choose to do so.

Place the melted fats and the rice in a heavy saucepan, covered, over very
low heat. Mix cornmeal and salt and pepper, then stir milk into beaten
eggs and blend in the cornmeal. Blend together with the rice mixture and
put into greased 8- or 9-inch square pan.

Bake at 450 deg.F. until firm when tapped with finger and well browned on
topabout 25 minutes.

Cut into squares to serve.

Makes 1 to 1 1/2 dozen squares.

NOTE: This just looked like an interesting combination... and like
something that would create a little more (or different) texture.. a fun
bread. It almost sounds like it might come out a custardy bread...
