How do you cook cornbread in a cast iron wedge pan over an open wood fire?
We are afraid the bottom will burn and the top will not be done. We do a lot of camping and would like to learn how to cook cornbread in the cast iron wedge pan we were given.
Like a pancake:
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 egg
1 cup milk
4 tbsp butter, melted
Melt bacon drippings (or oil) in an iron skillet. In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat egg with milk and butter. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Fry over low campfire until bubbles start forming on the top of batter. Using a metal spatula, carefully flip cornbread over and cook until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into cornbread.
Corny Cord Bread – Add 1/4 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen or canned) to batter.
Cheddar Corn Bread – Add 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese to batter.
Also, check out these great campfire recipes (the “foil recipes” on the left menu are great too). I’ve tried a lot of them, this is a reliable recipe site.

I know you want to use the cast iron wedge pan, but if you don’t have a Pie Iron (also known as a sandwich cooker) you should really get a couple – it takes a lot of guesswork out of fire cooking and is really neat and easy.
Have fun!

Evita: The Complete Motion Picture Music Soundtrack $6.04 Evita was finally filmed in 1996, 20 years after its initial incarnation as a studio-bound rock opera. In between, of course, it was one of the most successful and long-running musicals on either side of the Atlantic. Given such a long history, the film might easily have been a stale anticlimax, fatally holed by our overfamiliarity with songs such as the ubiquitous “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina.” O… |
