Hot Buttered Cornbread

[Ole Joe Clark]

Just finished my second piece of hot buttered cornbread for supper.
My MBH (much better half) baked a pone of cornbread for supper, so we could have "milk and bread". It smelled so good when I went down, and the butter dish was sooooo handy, I just sliced open a piece, buttered it up and ate it like a slice of pound cake.

Then I just had another slice for dessert. I guess it's a Southern thing. Sure was good.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

Mmm, corn dodgers, raw beef, and straight whiskey plus a chaw of tobacco... that sounds good right now!!

Cornbread with butter and syrup is one of my favorite desserts.

Yea, I'm getting hungry just reading this......

I don't think it's just a Southern thing...

Who DOESN'T like cornbread?

When I was little, that was my favorite thing my mom made. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

Only way cornbread is better is with honey on it too!

My favorite cornbread is Mexican style

One of my favorite ways to enjoy skillet cornbread is to crumble it over beef stew.

My dad loved cornbread in a glass of milk or buttermilk .I sure miss my moms cornbread cooked in big cast iron skillet. Sometimes if dad didn't finish it off she would make a small pan of chicken and dressing

I just double the recommended butter when I cook cornbread muffins. That way I do not have to add any more. I might add more preserves or honey afterwards, but not more butter.

I make mine with jalapenos and cheddar cheese in my grandmother's Wagner skillet that is about 100 years old now. For even better flavor, I will grease the skillet with bacon grease.

I love fried, unsweetened cornbread, buttered. Made with stone-ground white cornmeal. Doesn't need syrup or honey, though they certainly don't hurt. It makes a fine breakfast as is. In fact, I had it for breakfast this morning--well buttered, no sweeteners.

I need to try it sometime topped with peach, orange or strawberry yogurt. Those are my favorite toppings for pancakes or waffles.

Pretty good with homemade fig preserves, too.

I miss my mother's corn bread.

My favorite is cracklin cornbread, a meal in its self.

I never got tired of fresh baked bisquits which was a daily thing for most of my young life. Ever now and then my mom would womp up a batch of her special recipe corn bread, mostly for my dad who loved it with dark Karo syrup poured on it. Karo syrup was about as good as it got back then, some honey ever now and then. As an adult I prefer real maple surple, lots of butter of course. As a born and bred Yankee it was never a staple of my diet, I've eaten other southern folk's recipes done in a skillet and like some of the other things they cook like cheesy corn grits I find it very tasty. Today I have a varied diet and eat corn bread a couple times a year, usually someone will bake it and serve it with chili...that's good. My mother in law used to cook something she called "Shepard's pie." It had a cornbread topping and was very good. We use more flour up north, fatten our cattle and pigs with grain as well...cornfed beef tastes odd to me and the fat has a yellow tinge to it, grain fed is pure white, I prefer my whisky made from rye too.

OK, let me straighten this out for you.
Cornbread is to be unsweetened. It can be cooked in a greased pan, an iron skillet, or even pan fried. All good. And yeah it's also good with some jalapenos cooked in it.

Cornbread with greens

Cornbread with butter beans, field peas, black eyeds

cornbread with milk but much better if it's buttermilk.

Cornbread split, buttered and then covered with blackstrap molasses (as a kid we'd mush up butter and molasses into a kind of whipped spread and use that)

Cornbread split placed on a plate and covered with over easy or sunnyside eggs with a side of bacon, sausage, country ham or liver pudding or mush. Ok, in a pinch scrapple.

And yeah I'm now craving good cornbread.
