  • A wonderful old recipe of my grandmother in the 30s of the last century, I found it in my mother's notebook. This is an original and old recipe that our great-grandmothers and grandmothers used to make proja, that is, corn bread. At that time, there was no baking powder, so they prepared them this way, and I can tell you that I like this recipe much more, and it's tastier and so delicious! Let's make it together. Follow recipe.

NOTE:
  • You can add diced paprika to this recipe, but it is not according to the original recipe.

  • In this recipe, in addition to cheese, you can add bacon, or any ham of your choice, 100 g is enough. You can also add cracklings if you like, because at that time they combined and added various ingredients to make the cornbread tastier. If you are working with crackers, then grind them beforehand in a machine, then add them to the other ingredients. Do not mix bacon and ham with crackers.

  • If you want a more compressed proja, add half of the baking powder, 5 g.

  • You can leave out the baking powder, if you don't want to, this is an old recipe that dates back to the old days when baking powder was not used, that's how I did it.

  • Keep the cornbread at room temperature covered with a damp cloth so that it is always soft. Keep up to 3–4 days.
