🔥 This method prevents dry cornbread EVERY time
I could tell by your recipe, that was good cornbread. Some times in the 50s and 60s we ate cornbread and milk. My daddy loved butter milk too. The only difference was our cornmeal was Three Rivers Cornmeal. I diffidently prefer no sugar. If I want cake I'll eat cake. If I want cornbread I leave the sugar out.
Best corn bread recipe ever my grandmothers . Ingredients self risen white corn meal, self risen flour,whole buttermilk,salt, sugar. Mix 2 parts corn meal to one part flour and salt to taste and teaspoon of sugar and pour in butter milk and mix until soupy.Grease black iron skillet with Chisco shorting heat in oven until melted pour in batter preheat oven to 400 cook 20 minutes until golden brown
Thank you for not using any sugar!
I only have my smaller cast-iron pan probably around 8 inches.… so I’m halving the recipe… half of 1 1/3 cup buttermilk is coming out a weird amount… would you have a suggestion please and thank you‼️‼️👍🏻😁
Excellent video I’m 74 and my mom was a Mississippi Lady and as a we grew up it was either cornbread, or biscuits with our meals. And just like you we never threw any leftovers out, if there were any with 4 boy’s and dad to feed. Mom always made sure we had a type of desert. Many times we enjoyed dark sorghum molasses on our cornbread, & I still do.
Thank you my friend I just found your channel and will be learning more from you.GOD BLESS! JOHN 3:16-17🙏🙏
I tried yours the other day and it was not moist
My mother made her cornbread on top of the stove
Not a buttermilk fan either. Try the cornbread in a glass with regular milk poured in. This is how I ate it as a kid and still do.
There is a new invention called the rubber spatula! Doesn't waste as much.
The bad thing about todays cornbread is its got the secret glyphosate ingredient
The recipe reads 1 1/3 cups buttermilk ,but he said 1/3 cup
Yep Southern cornbread no sugar. Many do not know the difference. I learned from my husband's grandmother. I make mine from scratch. 3 parts cornmeal to 1 part flour then I add the ingredients that you show. I make Kefir and use it instead of buttermilk. It has a similar tartness. Also in an 8" iron skillet makes a beautiful tall cornbread. Found a cornmeal that is organic and especially non-gmo. Finally. Our corn is finally coming back the way God made it! All those meals with cornbread are such good comfort food. But also beans and rice with cornbread is a must!
If it wasn't late now I would make a skillet. Probably tomorrow 😆
Please tell me why I remember a skillet cornbread also called 'a coard'??? Is it just me? Do you know where that came from?
Thank you!
We grew up with soup beans and ham with corn bread!
Looks good enough to put strawberry jam or corn syrup on it
I like "corn bread cake so PISS
put in some sugarand use real butter vs vegetable oil. Corn bread is best with a good old pot of pinto beans.I add cornbread on beans(any beans) with a splash of pickle juice & yum 😋
This is the way I make my corn bread.. yum!
Thanks for that recipe I love cornbread and I hate a sweet cornbread
Looks delicious thank you for recipe
Toooooo slow
I like simple things too.
When did southern cornmeal start adding any flour???
love that buttermilk and cornbread with onions cut up in it. Love hearing the old stories, sure reminds me of my childhood. Thanks a bushel.
Put in a small amount of creamy Horseradish. Yumm
I love it with green s
Butter & honey …
Thank you, sir ! I love your accent ❤
I love some sugar in mine.
I always use buttermilk in my cornbread & biscuits & even soak chicken pieces before flour to fry their crispness.
Moist
I guess I make cornbread about the same, but I only know Jiffy brand. No sugar, but if there ever was leftovers in the morning, I'd slice it like you did, and add butter and grape jelly.
I am sorry but no way am I using white lily anything ..Albers real corn meal only.
Cornbread+ chili ! 🎉
No sugar. Moist
Buttermilk makes the difference! 😋
Love cornbread – sweet or savory – depending on what it's served with.
Instead of using vegetable oil or large bacon grease😊
I like adding jalapeños in the batter then top with honey
My favorite way to eat cornbread is right when it cools down for about five minutes I’d like to slice up a thick piece of butter and slice my cornbread in half and slide it right in and just as it’s melting I like to take a bite that’s my favorite way to eat it😊
You keep rubbing that skillet you going to wipe the black off it only kiding
White Lily has the best corn meal and the best flour.
Allowing the ingredients, once stirred together, to sit for 10 t0 15 minutes, to allow the meal to "bloom: is crucial
Also, crucial to use buttermilk, not sweet milk
