Notes: I have never known any other person, except my mother, who could or would flip a corn bread pie like this. She really cooked some wonderful cornbread..! My mother married a Huiet descendant. I don't think he ever saw her flip that cornbread pie, but she let me watch many times. I loved watching her do this.
