Pour into well greased pan, bake at 375 for 30 minutes (or 'til done). Sugar in cornbread??? OK, maybe a tablespoon or so if you want a dessert cornbread. And you gotta melt the butter (or better yet, bacon grease) in your screaming hot black iron skillet, pour it into the batter last, stir like the devil was chasing you, then pour the batter back into the pan so you get a nice crust to form on the bottom and sides. And if you are out of honey, molasses works almost as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Cornbread and molasses rather than honey. But then that is just me. Either will do in a pinch. Lottsa butter tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Just got a pan in the oven. Made it more "cakey" using more flour (SR rather than AP) and a touch of sugar so it will be more to my wifes taste. I like it about 2:1 cornmeal to flour, she likes it t'other way 'round. Also have some pork shoulder steaks in the oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I like it just like meown self. Skinny and crusty. Well, one outta two ain't bad. Either way. My wife is of the Northern persuasion (Detroit gal) so she likes her CB sweet. Johnny cake as they say. Howsoever, my Grandmother made hers the good old fashion Southern way, without. I can take it either way. Grandma also made some rolls that would cause warfare, hot with butter and wilted lettuce. You could not pry me away from the dinner table with a crow bar.

Subdeacon Joe Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Did you make greens? Cornbread is real good with pot likker. Cole slaw. This was a spur of the moment thing brought on by this thread. Had to heat the oven for the cornbread anyway, so might as well throw in the pork too. The extra juice from the slaw is good on the cornbread too. Heck, most anything is good on cornbread. Do you like your cornbread skinny and crusty, or soft and thick? Yes. My preference is usually for skinny and crusty - have the pan smoking hot when you pour the batter in. My wife likes it soft and thick, more cake like. That is what I made today. Makes no difference to me....none of it goes to waste Mine goes to waist! fresh Maine wild blueberries (the little ones full of flavor not this big cotton ball ons from the supermarkets that have no taste) A friend of mine has a theory that every blueberry has exactly X amount of flavor. Big or little doesn't matter, they each get X amount. The little ones taste better because it is more concentrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodine Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 SUGAR?!?! We calls that YANKEE cornbread 'roun' h'yar. Granpa wouldn't eat it, said it tasted like someone peed in it. Don't know how he figgered that and I never asked, just took his word on it. Cornbread w/ beans, chili, honey, molasses, fresh churned butter.... t's all gooood! Dangitt, we already had supper, guess I'll have to make some for breakfast in the mornin' now. Bodine ( I need a new keyboard AND glasses!)
