Cornbread

[redlevel]

Or as we say down here, "cawnbread."

For Thanksgiving Day dressing. I had a little time Monday, so I cooked six big pones and froze them. We'll make the dressing early T-Day morning. Got to boil the hen over the weekend for to have plenty of good, rich broth.

Great minds, think alike!!!!!! I just took out my batch of cornbread not 10 minutes ago...Here I sit feeding my face with cornbread and 1/2 stick of butter. The beans aren't quite done.

It's made me all warm and comfy now. Where's the big ole easy chair?????

I truly love cornbread and pinto beans. Truly the food of the Gods. Also hot cornbread crumbled up in a large cold glass of milk.

Simple but great.

Boy, does that ever tell where you hail from!!!!!! My dad used to do that, got me to doing it...He also like to crumble saltine crackers in warm milk, before bed.

My wife made some just this week. You can't beat an old cast iron skillet for cooking it. I can remember my grand dad crumbling it up in a glass of buttermilk when I was a kid. Thanks for the memory finesse_r!

My mom used to make cornbread either one of two ways. She had a cast iron pan that made the rolls look like little ears of corn, or she would just pour them into the skillet and make corn cakes that looked like pancakes. Either way, I didn't care. Lots of butter, big pile of pinto beans and a big glass of iced tea. Maybe even some roast beef on the side.

Oh man, now I'm all hungry.

But for y'all that ain't made your cornbread yet, just remember the words of the immortal Lewis Grizzard. "It says somewhere in the Bible, 'Thou shalt not put sugar in cornbread.'"

I have an eight-inch cast iron skillet that has been in use in my family (maternal side) for around a hundred years. I use it only for baking cornbread, which it does superbly.

The cornbread is unsweetened, and made with stone-ground white cornmeal, buttermilk, and bacon grease.

With a bowl of pintos or one of my homemade soups it will keep you on your feet clearing fence rows for two days, whether you much want to be or not.

Martha White self rising flour, and in this instance, Corn Meal Mix. It's got Hot Rize!

[old bear]

Cornbread, spicy chili, and an ice cold glass of, real, milk. My God it don't get much better than that.

No pie r round.

Did somebody say cornbread? The first picture is some fried cornbread and the second was baked in a cast iron killet.

 

[johngalt]

I use the recipe on the corn meal carton and use a cast iron skillet. I made the mistake of using a 'mix' once. It was way too salty.

Tonight's supper was fresh, hot cornbread (Martha White Cornmeal) with venison chili. Yum Yum.

I use my grandma's iron skillet and the "corn cob pan", went to see Lewis Grizzard on stage, read his columns in the Atlanta paper, and, I am ashamed to say, sometimes use a mix.

But the black-eyed peas always have a proper dose of ham or bacon, and the cornbread soaks up the juice just right.

One without the other just ain't right.

In my family, if it ain't cornbread dressing, it ain't dressing. Corn is truly the miracle grain. From fresh, hot buttered corn on the cob, to popcorn, to masa, to cornbread. Hoecakes to hominy, I love it all.

 

[amazingflapjack]

Toss the bird-and pass the cornbread.

Putting sugar in cornbread is just plain nasty. Cornbread is not a dessert, adding sugar makes cornbread into corncake. Yankee nonsense!

And, don't forget Frito's corn chips, taco shells, and candy corn. (Yeah, I know, but they're sooooo good!)

 

[wildenout]

I love my Mom's recipe, soft and moist, pieces of corn and jalapenos...mmm paired with chili and a cold coke.

 

[jwdalton]

I had some "cornbresd" in Charleston, SC, I thought I was eating a slice of cake. No sugar or flour in mine please. My family comes from Ala, if that tells ya anything. Now put on some pinto beans, greens and cornbreadand oh yeah a slice of onion to.

Okay, ya gonna have to pardon Northerner's first try at skillet cornbread. Certainly appreciate all the other recipes here. Recipe from back of Quaker yellow corn meal. The corn meal was left over from previous years scrapple making. Substituted Brear rabbit full flavor molasses for the sugar , and added jalapeno peppers.

Right tasty with molasses and butter on top. Froze the left overs and gonna try and make thanksgiving stuffing with it.

 

[RedNeck Jim]

Besides making dressing, what good is cornbread without having pot liquor to dip it in?

Just joking. Cornbread slathered in butter is a staple in our house but seriously, ya gotta have some slow cooked greens seasoned with ham hock to really appreciate corn bread. I love all greens but collards are my favorite because they are the easiest to grow & process... plus keep their texture after hours of cooking.

As far as molasses, we much prefer sorghum.

Grits. Where are the grits?

Right next to the corn tortillas, and hush puppies.
