=== Fried=== [[File:Fried Cornbread - 2019.jpg|thumb|Collard sandwich with fried cornbread, collard greens, and fatback]] Alongside other iterations of Native cornbread, the [[Lumbee]] people in southeastern North Carolina have a unique method of cooking their cornbread. The "fried cornbread" or "frybread" that most Lumbee families serve with meals differs from both hushpuppies and johnnycakes. Prepared with yellow cornmeal, egg, buttermilk, and salt, the cornbread batter is thinly poured into a cast-iron skillet to fry.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gordon |first=Steve |date=January 7, 2013 |title=Collard Sandwich Recipe |url=https://www.tasteofsouthern.com/collard-sandwich-recipe/ |website=Taste of Southern}}</ref> As Eric Locklear, a member of the Lumbee tribe and owner of Fuller's Old-Fashioned BBQ, notes, "It's got a crunch around it. I mean, it ain't thick; it don't look like pancakes. It's real thin and crunchy".<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last1=Lowery |first1=Malinda Maynor |last2=Wood |first2=Sara |date=Spring 2015 |title=As We Cooked, We Lived: Lumbee Foodways |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/26220215 |journal=Southern Cultures |publisher=University of North Carolina Press |volume=21 |issue=1 |pages=84–91 |doi=10.1353/scu.2015.0001 |jstor=26220215 |s2cid=145813061 |url-access=subscription }}</ref> After the fried cornbread is made, it is typically served with slices of cheese or collard greens. Glen Hunt, owner of Lumbee Homemade Ice-Cream in North Carolina, states, "You know how the old folks like to eat collards? They like to get a piece of cornbread and dip it in those collards and eat it with their fingers".<ref name=":0" /> In the article, "As We Cooked, We Lived: Lumbee Foodways," Malinda Maynor Lowery goes on to track the creation of the collard sandwich—a Lumbee special, which features two pieces of fried cornbread with [[Collard (plant)|collard greens]] and [[fatback]] meat. Dorsey Hunt, co-owner of Lumbee Homemade Ice-Cream, notes that "[Lumbee people] just started putting [fried cornbread and collards] together and made a sandwich out of it. ...We made the cornmeal fritters, and just put the collards in between it. Put your fatback meat and chow-chow".<ref name=":0" />
