Cornbread recipe?

[BNB]

We're having a chili cook off for the Superbowl. I thought I would make some cornbread. I usually just buy some of the jiffy sweet cornbread mix, and add jalepenos.

I saw in the bacon thread about adding bacon drippings.

Thanks.

drop a dallop of shortening in your cast iron skillet and preheat the oven (with the skillet in there) to 425

combine dry ingredients:
3/4 c AP flour
2.5 teaspons double acting baking powder
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar
pinch salt
1.25 cups yellow cornmeal

combine wet ingredients:
1 egg, beaten
2 to 3 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup milk

pour wet into dry, combine quickly.
carefully remove your hot skillet, pour in batter.
bake for ~ 25 minutes.

TRIUW actual corn niblets in the cornbread.

This Recipe Is Useless Without...

Melt roughly three tablespoons of drippings in a CAST IRON skillet in the oven at 450. Combine 2 cups of stone-ground cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 2 beaten eggs, and 2 cups of buttermilk in a bowl. When the skillet is good and hot, pour the bacon grease into the batter, stir it quickly, then pour the batter into the skillet. It should pop and sizzle. Put the skillet back in the oven and let it bake until the top of the bread is golden brown (should be about 30 or 40 minutes). Let it cool for about 5 minutes after you take it out, then flip it out of the skillet onto a cutting board.

You could also add some chopped jalepenos to the batter if you wanted.

SUGAR in your cornbread? Are you serving it for dessert?

If you are putting sugar in it put some rosemary in it too and serve it with maple butter like HOB does. That stuff is good.


If you're putting jalapenos in it the sugar would be a bit weird.

Me I make up a recipe like it says on the side of the cormeal bag and add a cup of shredded sharp cheddar or monterrey jack, some pickled jalapenos and some their juice and a can of cream corn for instead of all milk for the liquid. you gotta add the milk last to make sure that the batter ain't too wet. and then of course the bacon grease, but no sugar for this recipe.

The first time I had cornbread with sugar in it was about the same time I first had beans in chili and maple syrup on pancakes. Molasses belongs on pancakes and it is not chili if it has beans. Does the sugar make it corncake?

My Grandma's cornbread differs just a little from the non-sugar one cited above. I doubt they differ much in taste at all.
1 egg, 1 C buttermilk, half tsp salt, half tsp baking soda, one and a half cups cornmeal and a quarter cup of regular flour. Mix it up with a fork and pour it into a greased hot pan and cook 12-15 minutes at 425.

Makes great crumbles. I must confess I have never associated chili and cornbread. Crackers and tortillas, OK. No reason not to try it, just never have.

the sugar helps make a crust without burning the thing. Plus, the touch of sweet brings out the savory.

my wife makes great cornbread. she uses equal parts flour and corn meal and a small amount of sugar.

I love sweet cornbread...

But if making regular I just by a package of yellow cornbread mix (the kind you add an egg and milk to) and add some drained chopped green chilles, cheese and whole corn.

Pretty tasty and very simple.

Corn muffin mixes have sugar in them.

Cornbread mixes do not have sugar in them other than perhaps a tablespoon. You cannot taste the sugar.

My step-son makes his dressing with corn muffin mix and we almost cannot eat it because of all the sugar in it.

Do not put molasses or honey in my chili either.
