Hot Buttered Cornbread

[walkinghorse]

We like corn bread mix waffles!
Bacon, sausage, or ham as a side.

Corn bread with limas & ham or chili and beans. Hot with butter at first then warm with butter and honey.

Also cornmeal fried with butter and syrup, cornmeal waffles or (Best yet) cornmeal sourdough pancaked with blueberries (huckleberries if available).

The label has changed from years past but still good stuff:

If I am having black strap molasses, I prefer this version:

Corn bread cooked in a cast iron skillet in the oven is called
"Johnny Cake" where my in-laws are from(Texas).(at least that's what the wife told me)

There’s a italian dish with castiron skillet corn bread served sliced with a meat tomato sauce over it. Haven’t had that since grandma made it.

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

I think you did well to stop at two helpings. I don’t stop until the pan is gone!

You guys are KILLING ME here! It's a good hour before lunch and now my tummy is growling and I'm drooling on my keyboard. I guess I'm going to have to go eat lunch at Cracker Barrel now to get my "Cornbread fix". I can't wait until I get home and have to go through all the prep work.

I need cornbread NOW! Might get a bowl of beans & greens to go with it. Dang! Now I'm doing it to MYSELF!

Since you're going tp Cracker Barrel anyway, you might as well get some chicken and dumplings.

Now I love corn bread. But my grandmother from South Carolina used to make a corn bread stove top in a skillet that was like a pancake, and not a bread. Haven't had it since I was a boy, I sure would like to know how she made it.

Down in Alabama, we called it fried corn bread. It's real easy to make. Get a bag of Martha White's Hot Rize corn bread mix. Follow the directions, but add a bit more water to make it like pancake batter. Pour your batter on a griddle or in a frying pan to about a 6"-7" circle. When the top starts to make bubbles, flip it over. When it is light brown, it is done.

When I was in Kosovo, my roommate and I invited our German police friends over. I made a big pot of chili and four batches of fried corn bread. I could barely keep up!

I buy fresh ground corn meal by the 25lb box it’s in my prepper stash. Bought the round molds to make corn bread round toaster cakes. At the store these round toaster cakes are very expensive. Amazon has the pans for the round toaster cakes.

Another Depression era dish my Mom used to make us as kids (in the 60s) - wilted lettuce salad - when you took the morning's bacon grease and heated it and poured over your greens. As Grampa Jones on HeeHaw used to say "Yum Yum!". Gary above had it right to cook cornbread in a cast iron skillet you put in the oven first to get hot before you pour the cornbread in. Man, I just ate, and I'm hungry!

My grandmother would get up before dawn to get a fire going in the stove and make breakfast for the guys going off to the woods. After they were gone and everything cleaned up she would go about her chores and often keep me out of trouble. I remember her gathering young nettles in the semi cleared out area around the cabin, she would go in and put some sliced onions in the leftover grease and bacon chunks from breakfast and fry that all together, sit down and have a quiet lunch with me. I've also had that prepared with fresh picked dandelion greens instead of nettles. I mentioned earlier that we didn't eat that much corn, she made flour bisquits at just about every meal. They had a sourdough starter that grandpa claimed was given to him back in the 30's. He said that once they were gone for a week somewhere and when they got back it had all dried up. He said they threw some sugar in it and enough warm water to loosen up the dried stuff and sure enough it came back...better than ever. Grandma said that in the winter she would pour the starter down into a punched hole in the flour to keep it from freezing.

What has happened to the younger generations of today. This boxed cereal with weed killer in it and pop tart toaster **** didn’t make it in our day.
We always had a hot breakfast. Where did we go wrong. We worked hard, ate good, never mind this fast food on the run garbage. We were so much healthier and full of energy?

The other night we had cube steaks, fresh bread, fresh green beans, fresh spinach. Top the bread off with Amish roll butter.

I had been craving some cornbread, even before reading this thread. I had bought some buttermilk two weeks ago. So this afternoon I made some chili and baked a cast iron skillet of cornbread. The wife and I enjoyed it. I et almost half of the CB all by myself.
