By request. Making a pan bread for dinner is really easy. It creates minimal dishes to wash and you always have the ingredients. You can vary it endlessly.
Dry
2 Cups flour (any combination wheat, white, cornmeal, whatever)
2 palmfuls of baking powder
2 shakes of salt
2 heaping tablespoon/big spoon of sugar
Wet
2 Cups dairy (any combination milk, yogurt, buttermilk, or soured milk)
2 Eggs
2 Glugs vegetable oil
Add Wet to Dry and Mix
I melt butter in my cast iron pan, swirl it around, and then pour in the batter and put in the oven at 375, though if the batter seems wet go hotter and if it seems dry go lower.
Additions:
Pepper, pepper, pepper.
CHEESE
Rosemary
Fry sliced scallions (or shallots but scallions are easier) in the butter, add to batter
Fry diced jalapenos and/or garlic in the butter, add to batter.
One cup cornmeal instead of one cup flour, and use a can of creamed corn for most of the liquid.
Fresh herbs, any combination, chop and add to butter or wet ingredients.
Fruit - add more sugar, brown sugar, cinnammon etc. Fry bananas, apples, pears or peaches in your pan with the butter. The harder the fruit, the smaller the pieces. You can mix the fruit into the batter or pour the batter over the fruit.
