The American Cornbread Recipe is a traditional American loaf that makes a quick and easy accompaniment to soups and stews.
Special equipment:
9in (23cm) flameproof cast-iron
frying pan
loose-bottomed round cake pan
Ingredients:
2 fresh corn cobs, about 7oz (200g)
weight of kernels
4 tbsp unsalted butter or bacon
drippings, melted and cooled,
plus extra for greasing
1 1/4 cups fine yellow cornmeal
or polenta
3.4 cup bread flour
1⁄4 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 1⁄4 cups milk
Method:
1 Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Oil the pan with butter or bacon drippings. Place in oven.
2 Cut away the kernels from the cobs and scrape out the pulp with the back of the knife.
3 Sift the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Add the corn.
4 In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter or bacon drippings, and milk.
5 Pour three-quarters of the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir.
6 Draw in the dry ingredients, adding the remaining milk mixture. Stir just until smooth.
7 Carefully take the hot pan out of the oven and pour in the batter; it should sizzle.
8 Quickly brush the top with butter or bacon drippings. Bake for 20–25 minutes.
9 The bread should shrink from the sides of the pan and a skewer should come out clean.
10 Let the cornbread cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm, with soup, chili con carne, or fried chicken. The cornbread does not keep well but leftovers can be used as a stuffing for roast poultry.

The American Soda Bread Recipe This classic sweet bread can be ready for an afternoon snack in no time.
Ingredients:
2 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tsp fine salt
2 tsp baking powder
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp caraway seeds (optional)
4 tbsp unsalted butter, chilled and diced
2⁄3 cup raisins
1 large egg
2⁄3 cup buttermilk
Method:
1 Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2 In a large bowl mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, and caraway seeds (if using). Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add the raisins and mix well to combine.
3 Whisk together the egg and the buttermilk.
4 Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and gradually pour in the buttermilk mixture, stirring until it is all incorporated. You will need to use your hands at the end to bring it all together to form a loose, soft dough.
5 Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead it briefly until smooth. Shape it into a round about 6in (15cm) in diameter, and slash the top with
a cross to allow the bread to rise easily.
6 Place the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cook in the middle of the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, until well risen and golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
STORE:
This bread is best eaten the day it is baked, but will keep, well wrapped in paper, for 2 days.

The Chicken Pot Pies with Herb Crust Recipe is a delicious and deeply comforting recipe with a tasty scone topping. Best of all, no accompaniments are needed.
Special equipment:
31⁄2in (8.5cm) pastry cutter
6 large ramekins
Ingredients:
1 quart (1 liter) chicken stock
3 carrots, sliced
1lb 10oz (750g) large potatoes, diced
3 celery stalks, thinly sliced
6oz (175g) peas
1lb 2oz (500g) cooked skinless, boneless chicken
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 onion, chopped
1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
3⁄4 cup heavy cream
pinch of ground nutmeg
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
leaves from 1 small bunch of parsley, chopped
1 egg
For the topping:
1 1⁄3 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp unsalted butter, diced
leaves from 1 small bunch of parsley, chopped
2⁄3 cup milk, plus more if needed
Method:
1 Boil the stock in a large saucepan. Add the carrots, potatoes, and celery, and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the peas and simmer for about 5 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender. Drain, reserving the stock. Cut the chicken into slivers and put in a bowl. Add the vegetables.
2 Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3–5 minutes, until softened but not browned. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook, stirring, for 1–2 minutes. Add 2 cups stock and heat, whisking, until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens. Simmer for 2 minutes, then add the cream and a pinch of nutmeg, and taste for seasoning. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, add the parsley and mix gently.
3 Sift the flour into a large bowl with the baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and add the butter. Rub with your fingertips to form fine crumbs. Add the parsley, make a well again, and pour in the milk, cutting in quickly with a knife to form coarse crumbs. Add more milk if it is dry. Bring the dough together with your fingers.
4 Knead the dough lightly on a well-floured surface until smooth. Pat the dough out to a thickness of 1⁄2in (1cm). Cut out rounds with the pastry cutter. Pat out the trimmings and cut additional rounds, for a total of 6.
5 Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Divide the chicken filling evenly among the 6 dishes. Place a scone round on each pie (it’s nice if the scone is positioned slightly off-center, so you can see some of the creamy filling). Lightly beat the egg with a pinch of salt and use to glaze the rounds.
6 Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350°F (180°C) and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. It should take 7–10 minutes longer. If the scone topping threatens to burn, cover the pies loosely with a sheet of foil.
PREPARE AHEAD:
The filling can be prepared 1 day ahead, covered, and chilled. Bring it to room temperature before baking.
BAKER’S TIP:
Although this scone topping is very easy to make, you can also make this pie with a puff pastry or shortcrust topping instead. Try experimenting with the filling too, adding different herbs; tarragon is a particularly good choice here.

The Steak and Kidney Double Crust Pie Recipe is a classic savory pie with a light, crumbly finish to the crust.
Special equipment:
7in (18cm) metal pie dish or cake pan
For the filling:
1⁄4 cup olive oil, plus extra for greasing
2 onions, roughly chopped
4oz (100g) button mushrooms, wiped,
halved or quartered, if necessary
1lb 5oz (600g) chuck roast, in 11⁄4in (3cm) chunks
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups beef stock
large sprig of thyme
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
4 fresh lamb’s kidneys, about 7oz (200g)
For the crust pastry:
1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
3⁄4 cup cold vegetable shortening, diced
1⁄2 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten, for glazing
Method:
1 In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and cook the onion for 5 minutes, until softened but not browned. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3–4 minutes until they begin to color in places. Remove the vegetables from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2 Toss the diced steak in 2 tablespoons of seasoned flour. Heat the remaining oil in the pan, on high heat, and cook the meat until browned. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan or the meat will begin to steam rather than brown. Remove the meat as it cooks and add it to the vegetables.
3 Once the meat is seared, return it and thevegetables to the pan. Cover with the beef stock. Season, add the thyme, and bring to a boil. When boiled, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 2–21⁄2 hours, until tender.
4 Rub together the flour, baking powder, salt, and shortening until it looks like crumbs. Add enough cold water to bring the mixture together to a soft dough. Wrap in plastic wrap. Rest the dough for at least 1 hour.
5 Make a paste out of 2 tablespoons of flour mashed into the butter. Uncover the stew and increase the heat. When it begins to boil, add the flour mixture a little at a time, stirring. Reduce the heat and cook over low heat for 30 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
6 Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Trim the kidneys of any skin, cut out the central core, and cut into chunks. Add them to the stew. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface into an 8 x 16in (20 x 40cm) rectangle. It should be 1⁄8-1⁄4in (3–5mm) thick. Place the pie dish onto a short edge of the pastry and cut a circle around it for the lid.
7 Oil the pan, trim the remaining pastry, and use it to line the pie dish, allowing the sides to overhang. Fill the case with the pie filling and brush egg around the edges of the pastry. Top with the disk of pastry and press down around the edges to seal.
8 Brush the pie with egg, then cut 2 small slits in the top to allow the steam to escape. Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
PREPARE AHEAD:
The filling can be made 2 days ahead and chilled until needed. Do not add the uncooked kidneys until you are ready to bake the pie. This pie is best eaten the day it is made, but can be chilled overnight. Reheat well before eating.
