My Grand Mommy was part Cherokee Indian and her cracklin' bread was never baked, she fried it. Kind of like corn pone. Every meal she made some sort of bread like biscuit, cornbread or Cracklin' bread. My Grand Daddy (born in 1898)wouldn't eat store bought bread. He would joke about it saying it was "tasteless". As unhealthy as we think their diets were, he lived to 87 and she lived to 95. I've NEVER had biscuits as good as my Grand Mommy's. I've found that so much of what passes for Southern country cooking is really "citified".<br />jakestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11020386050050335447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-37071196647341585182013-04-07T11:31:41.029+10:002013-04-07T11:31:41.029+10:00I'm from the South and my experience with crac...I'm from the South and my experience with cracklin' bread is a bit different than any recipe I've seen online.

My great-grandmother, who was born about 1858, used to call pie filling the "goody" sometimes, especially if some extra care had been taken over it. She was an Illinois girl, but her family had been in Kentucky in the generation previous, so it may be a word of the upper South. I'd forgotten it -- thank you for reminding me!Petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-80456480063262088012010-08-13T08:45:19.061+10:002010-08-13T08:45:19.061+10:00I grew up in little town Deep South USA on "s...I grew up in little town Deep South USA on "shortnin' bread." Bacon grease to flour in a 1:2 ratio, and a touch of brown sugar. Patted down, and baked quickly on high heat like focaccia.<br /><br />It sure does sound similar to Goody-bread.Leaking Moonlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415882038394066267noreply@blogger.com
