This will be the cover for the third pie dish.  (Or you can bake this in a Dutch oven)

Ingredients:

  • 1-1/4 Cups unbleached white flour
  • 3/4 Cup whole-grain (stone ground) cornmeal
  • 4 Tablespoons sugar
  • 5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 Tablespoons butter, melted

Directions:

  1. Stir dry ingredients together, mixing well ( you can do this before you leave home and put it all in a ziplock bag.
  2. Beat egg with milk and add it to the flour mixture with the melted butter.
  3. Stir well.
  4. Spread batter in a buttered 9" pie dish.   Place the cover on the pie dish and carefully fill the top pie pan with coals to cover the surface.   Bake about 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned.  Be careful when you remove the cover not to get ash on the cornbread.

Says it serves 4-6 but you better grab 'em fast or make more than one batch.
