Add the oatmeal, flour, and baking powder to a bowl. Mix well. Combine with the
remaining ingredients. Fry this batter in a cast iron skillet over high heat. Serve with honey
or syrup.

Spider Cornbread

❖ 2 cups sour milk
❖ 1 1/2 cups cornmeal
❖ 1 tsp soda
❖ 2 eggs
❖ 2 Tbsp butter

❖ 1 tsp salt

Prep Time: 5 minutes; Cook Time: 20 minutes

Preheat the oven to 350°F. The use of sour milk is what makes this dish interesting. Mix

your dry ingredients together first before stirring in your wet ingredients. Add the batter
to a hot, buttered cast iron skillet. Cook in the oven for 20 minutes.

Mud Apples

❖ 4 large apples
❖ A bucket of mud

Prep Time: 15 minutes; Cook Time: 45 minutes

For this recipe, you should really have a campfire.

Using the mud, coat your apples completely in a nice layer. Spread the coals of your fire,
and lay the mud-coated apples on them. Build up the sides with the smoldering coals.
Allow the apples to bake and the “clay” to harden around them for 45 minutes.

Be careful once they are done as you will have to remove the hardened clay shell and they
will be smoking hot inside as well. Spoon the cooked apple out and enjoy!

Gorge Pasta

❖ 1 cup raw macaroni
❖ 1 can stewed tomatoes
❖ 1 lb. cheddar cheese
