You said you was going to try it, but no after action report. Fantastic! Also on waffles,in coffee, on cornbread. In fact, I just tried making cornbread using some almond flour in place of some of the AP flour and put tupelo honey on a piece and it was delicious. My wife likes honey butter and used it for that. Good stuff, Maynard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Now that's a paste, right? Something like the consistency of peanut butter? So make you up some cornbread, and spread some of your Vegemite on it. Let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Tradition depends on where you come from. For those who think sugar doesn't belong in cornbread, you realize pretty much ALL bread contains sugar, it helps feed the yeast so it will rise. But then, i like beans in my chile, also. Goes with my cornbread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too am a bit heavier than I was when I got married 42 years ago. In addition to honey on cornbread, maple surple is goooood as well. Not that artificial pancake corn syrup but the real maple syrup. Some make theirs with canned corn added to it. You can keep that. That isn't how momma made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I gotta laugh when a subject like this comes up in here and folks start telling other folks that have no experience with something what they should like or not like. @Buckshot Bear go on Amazon and search “cornbread mix”. You should find a few different ones. Buy one or two and give them a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She told me that they were done and I was all eager. I looked at the platter. "What are these?" I asked, looking at a plate full of what looked like ordinary pancakes. She had made regular pancakes with a can of corn and a can of creamed corn added. I was raised referring to them as hoe cakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussies really don't like Vegemite. What happened is, they was told that it was associated with brewing beer- and all they heard was the 'beer' part. Since Aussies do like beer, they started eating the stuff and can't stop now because none of you wants to be the first to admit that it's nasty tasting.

Pat Riot Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 To be honest, I do not like cornbread. Ate a LOT of it as a kid. We were poor. Times were rough. Not good memories. The sense of smell is a fantastic memory trigger. Anyway, those little Jiffy Corn Muffins are tolerable to me. I guess it’s because they’re sweet.

Texas Joker Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 My recipe is right next to the little quaker guy. Cupa cupa cornmeal and flour. Salt sugar clabber girl egg bacon grease and wet it. When I was a kid it was water I grew up and read the recipe it says milk. I can afford milk don't forget to grease the pan. You can add molasses instead of sugar. For a quick meal make Mexican seasoned meat add corn green beans peppers and such like for a burrito. Pour half your cornbread mix into the pan then put the meat mix spread on that. Add cheese if you want. Pour the rest of your corn meal batter on top spread it to cover and bake. It's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know you're using enough butter when it's dripping off of your hand. Cornbread is made with buttermilk.

Subdeacon Joe Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I've never been one for any of the packages of mix. It's too easy to make from scratch. In general I use about 2:1 cornmeal to AP flour. Sometimes I'll want a "dessert cornbread" and I'll invert those and add maybe a quarter cup of sugar. When it comes out cut a wedge, split it, slather with butter and add jam or honey or molasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
