Lets talk about Cornbread!!

[Duck cutter]

I weep for some of you people.

Paul, go buy a bag of White Lilly corn meal mix. Follow the recipe on the back of the bag.

Simple and perfect.

If you have to church it up with exotic ingredients you're hiding something or compensating for a bad ingredients. Much like sauce on Q. Good Q doesn't need it. And good cornbread shouldn't need any extras.

Thought you didn't eat bread

When you put the skillet in the oven to bake, the cornbread batter should actually be floating on top of the BACON GREASE.

FIFY

I'm a bonafide son of the south. What I eat and what I know are two different things.

I know biscuits and I know cornbread.

[Simple Man]

Cornbread ain't bread anyhow. It's a religious experience.

Just like burnt cheese from a good casserole, if I could just get the crispy bottom from cornbread out of a hot cast iron skillet, I'd need nothing else.

Now ya talking Glen, thanks bubbbbbaaaa!

Dukes mayo and diced jalapeno

The finest cornbread sticks money could buy were the ones you got in the restaurant in the basement of Tapp's in Columbia. I doubt anybody that ever had one would disagree. The recipe was a closely guarded secret. Now there's a purported recipe on line, but it makes 447 sticks.

Yall need some womenz.

Yall need some womenz.

To make the cornbread for us?

[DixieJimm]

I'd put Nancy's cornbread up against all comers! Crispy bottom, check.Moist, slightly coarse inside, check. Paul - pm me for the recipe or drop over to Pomaria and she'll learn you in person. Her biscuits are world-class too!

[quack head 11]

I called my mama for you Paul. Here it is, and I promise it'll be good.

2 cups self rising cornmeal
1 1/4 cup of whole milk
1 egg
1/4 cup of veg oil or crisco

Grease pan heavy

Preheat to 375 or 400 degrees about 20-25 minutes

Then turn oven on broil for 5 minute to finish the top side

She said if you use regular cornmeal you'd need to add salt, baking soda and some other stuff and she said the outcome wasn't worth the extra ingredients

[LabLuvR]

Awesome, thanks Jimmy!!

[Gourmet Gobbler]

Use whole buttermilk, not sweet milk.. You're welcome.

My grandmother used to make her cornbread with a salty crust on the bottom somehow. Shut your mouth!

[Woodiewacker82]

I want to say 2 things. You're gonna get lots of good receipes. But Number 1 is it HAS to be cooked in a Cast Iron Skillet. Number 2, whatever the receipe you use, line said Cast Iron Skillet with Bacon on the bottom first. Pour Mix over Raw Bacon and Cook as instructed. You will beat your Mama, your Wife and your Best Friends Wife when you eat that first piece!!

This except replace bacon with fatback.

Since I was in the seventh grade, I have been traveling to Hollywood, South Carolina to work on houses every summer with my church from Columbia. Every year at the Rural Mission headquarters on John's Island there is a "Seafood Jamboree" and the locals cook us a devine meal of epic proportions. The cornbread is the greatest cornbread I have ever consumed in my twenty something year old life..."Pop" as well call him has been on this earth for ninety something years and can makes some damn cornbread, let me tell you...


There is no better in this world.
