| Post subject: | ISO Seriously Good Cornbread |
I have not made much cornbread in my life as my husband thinks it is gross. Well, next week is MY birthday and I have invited MY friends over for a vegetarian chili (sorry Frank, vegetable stew with chili flavorings) and I would like to have cornbread with it. And I would like my cornbread to be amazing. Any good recipes? Also, I can get corn flour which is very fine or 2 grinds of polenta meal (course and fine), what would be best? I would also like to serve some flavored butter with it; I was thinking honey butter but would like to up that a notch as well. Thoughts? Thanks Mary |

Apology accepted...BTW, was the question of liking cornbread not on the boyfriend application...what were you thinking?  Marrying a man that thinks cornbread is gross?  There is a very good recipe in this book if you have access. http://www.amazon.com/Dairy-Hollow-Hous ... 089480751X |

I don't have access to the book but do know a thing or two about google. Is this it? http://www.cookstr.com/recipes/dairy-ho ... -cornbread Mary I should have checked him out a bit more thoroughly. I was all thrilled because he said he was not into watching baseball/football/basketball. Neglected to ask about Formula 1/skiing/hockey. After 25 years, I just can't go through the hassle of training a new one.

My very very favorite! 1 cup cornmeal or fine polenta 1 cup flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 2 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon fine salt 1 1/8 cup buttermilk 1 egg 1/4 cup bacon fat or oil, I highly recommend the bacon fat! Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Whisk together dry ingredients. Whisk together buttermilk and egg. Stick a 9-12 in cast iron skillet in oven with oil/fat inside until hot. Combine wet and dry. Pour in half the hot fat, mix quickly. Pour in hot skillet. Bake until brown around edges with a spot or two of browning in the middle. Eat hot! |

This is the ONLY baking recipe that I have memorized. I make it often! |

Looks fantastic and, if makes a repeat performance at the Porter household, it must be good. Thanks Becca! Mary |

You're welcome. If the smell of the bacon fat version doesn't convince your husband.... the first hot slice will. |

That looks like the basic recipe I have been making for many years, except much of the fat goes in the batter (or all, if using an 8x8 pan, instead of CI). I often substitute masa harina for the cornmeal when I serve it with Mexican or Tex-mex dishes, as those flavors go great together, but I add about 1/4 c liquid, as the masa harina absorbs more. |

Southwestern Corn Bread From Jane Butel’s Tex-Mex Cookbook Pg. 57 This tasty corn bread is extra hearty; serve with a main-dish salad or stew for a delicious combination. The bread’s moist quality makes it a favorite with campers & picnickers. 1 Cup blue or yellow cornmeal 1 Tablespoon baking powder 1 ½ teaspoons salt 2 Eggs 2/3 cup melted butter or bacon drippings 1 Cup sour cream 2 Cups cooked corn kernels ¼ pound Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese, grated (Try Pepper Jack – it ‘kicks it up a notch!”) 4 ounces canned chopped green chiles ½ cup bacon bits (optional) 1. Preheat oven 375 degrees. F. Grease a 9-inch-square pan or large cast-iron skillet. 2. Mix dry ingredients (cornmeal – salt) together & make a well in the center. Add eggs, butter & sour cream & blend thoroughly. Fold in corn kernels. 3. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Cover with grated cheese & chiles. 4. Pour remaining batter over top. Add bacon bits if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes. |
