Looks very similar to Irish Soda Bread
bad to the pone
Wow where did you get that griddle top oven?
Always found fingers work the best for mixing the butter/lard into the dry ingredients. I like to pour about 1/4C more buttermilk than the recipe calls for. Then I hold some back and add as needed.
hoe ake is the same as biscuit bread.
Small can of hatch green chilis and a handful of cheddar….
Lawzee…Your takin' me back to my Hillbilly raisin.
Give me a biiig slice o' that with some Country butter and some Mountain molasses!!!
The trick for really fluffy biscuits is to mix all the dry ingredients first and have the oven already preheated. As soon as you add the wet ingredients, the clock is ticking. Stir it up as fast as you can and get the dough in the skillet and in the oven. That makes them fluffier and not as chewy. The more you work the dough, the more of the CO2 from the baking soda is forced out.
Does anyone have a recipe for this for celiacs?
My grandmother used to bake that for us she would make pulled bread and biscuits, delicious with homemade butter, and homemade jellies or jams❤
Growing up, we used the term "Hoe Cake" and "Hot Water Cornbread" pretty much interchangeably (my Grandmother's family was Appalachian). Both are very simple cornbread – water, cornmeal, and salt (Hot Water Cornbread was made using boiling water / Hoe cakes describe cornbread that was cooked on a hot flat surface, like the side of a hoe). We made this too, but it was always called Biscuit Bread (the only thing we called a Pone was a Corn Pone – usually hot water cornbread). I still like to make (and eat) both of them!
Nice. In Australia this is just like what we call Damper. It's delicious with butter and Cocky's Joy – golden syrup. Yum. Also great with soups and stews. These kinds of yeastless breads are wonderful for their versatility.
I must try this!!!!
WHY does every US recipe have sugar added. I'm diabetic and it seems virtually EVERYTHING in a traditional recipe has "add sugar" lol. Sometimes copious amounts.
I think you could do with a rubber spatula to clean out the bowl. You did a great job on the bread. Looks delicious.
Bannock is the name given to Canadian natives. Scones was the name my Scottish grandma used.
It seems that bacon grease would be a good substitute if you happen to be out of lard.
I can live on the stuff for days with iced water and a huge pay check.
How about some cornpone? Idk if that's Appalacian or not. But there was this character named, "Jubilation T. Cornpone" in Lil' Abner. I'm wondering if you use wheat flower in it, or is there some other trick to keep it together?
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to more videos!!
Sweet potato pone
What….no salt?😊
Works even better wen your butter is cold like it's supposed to be.
hoe cake, I suppose it is what you eat middle field while hoeing?
It looks GOOD‼️
Dad called it batter bread, we're up around Wilkes
We always have called it batter bread, but Ihave heard it called pone bread as well.
I wonder if any other type of flour would work, for those of us that are gluten intolerant. I will have to experiment…maybe oat flour, buckwheat flour, cassava flour or a mixture of some flours.
Practice makes perfect. Learning the texture takes experience.
Wanna have a heart attack or hardening of the arteries but die happy? Make you a pan of that bread and thickly dice up a fresh tomato and top the tomato with hot bacon grease. Be sure to add the salt, maybe a little black pepper. Use the bread to sop the tomato and bacon grease. It's been a while since I've eaten any but I haven't died yet.
My mom was from Kentucky she called it skillet bread
Just need a mess of sausage gravy!!!! lol
Just like bisquits or a pie crust
Try a rubber spatula, comes out better
So where are you from originally? You sure ain't no hillbilly like me.🤣🤣🤣🤣
