i wanted a sweet snack, but didn't feel like fussing with making a cake.
so, i made my corn bread. it takes 5 minutes to put together.
i know southerners like their savory bread n it's ok for what it is.
this is better.
the only difference between the two, is instead of 2 tablespoons of sugar, you increase it to 3/4 cup.
it's a sweet bread.
i can go thru a whole loaf because i make it in a loaf pan.
this lets me pop it in the toaster after the first day.
all that sugar means great browning.

anyway, i thot i'd mention it for when you might like a no work high cal sweet snack.

YUM! Southern Corn Bread.....

Bread, biscuits, rolls and corn bread all go great with meals. One reason I don't like some C Bread mixes is that they are too sweet. Something I can't stand, though. DRY corn bread.:eek::confused::mad:''
It invariably chokes me up.

And contrary to the idea that cornbread is skwar and pies are round, I've had corn bread cooked in a round pan.:D

OMG! My first batch of German potato salad called for a 1/4 cup of sugar. I didn't measure it exactly but the end product tasted like candy. YUK! Even the next day my teeth felt like they were sticking together and I had the taste of sickening sweet in my mouth.

All that and no recipe?
 
Have had corn pone with a little sugar.
But made in a loaf pan?
Not yet!
You Yankees have invented some wonderful things!
It’s not exactly a Secret how much I love the Revolver.
Also grateful for the V8 engine and the Cotton Gin.
But I love your Yankee Money the most of all!
But that don’t give you any basis to mess around with our Southern Food!
 
yeah, it's a cake, sorta.

1C flour
1C cornmeal
4t baking powder
1/2t salt
3/4C sugar, but 1/2C IS good, i don't measure it
mix together the above, then add:
1 egg
1/4C oil
1C milk
mix til blended n pour into pan
bake at 425
in traditional pan 30 minutes,
or in loaf pan, 45 minutes.
when you think it's done, stick knife in it.
it's done when knife comes out clean.
 
Cornbread around here is always a problem. I like it unsweet, Linda wants it sweet, she would love your recipe. Only thing we agree on is bake it in a cast iron skillet. We sometimes make two batches.
 
Most all the homemade cornbread I ever ate was made in a cast iron skillet.
I now use mixes to make mine but still cook it in cast iron.
If you have ‘institutional’ cornpone-
Whether it’s the county jail, a truck stop or 4H Camp - it was probably made in a big square pan, the largest one they can get into their oven.
The flour question continues.
I was raised no flour, cornmeal only.
I did know folks who added a little flour.
Most of the mixes have flour, some as the top ingredient.
