I can't get the hang of much of that cookin thing but i have learned to bake cornbread to perfection in a cast skillet. Baking time is paramount and i've settled on 23 min. / 27 sec. :vs_laugh:with a pre- heated skillet in a 425°F oven. Sometimes i just have to brag.

Yum.

My grandmother used to bake it in a 9X 12 cake pan.

Then turn it out, and cut it into 3" X 4" pieces, and place that in a deep bowl, and smother it with "Butter Beans".

Serve it up to each member, I used to stir it up into a mix, and loved it.

I mentioned this once before on here. Crumble a piece up in a cup of milk.

Ahem: Make that Buttermilk, and you got a date.

Man I looooove good cornbread and that looks like great cornbread. I use to be able to make good cornbread when I was on the fire department but I can't seem to make it worth a cuss now. Now Judy can make good cornbread every time and I dearly love milk and cornbread, it just don't get no better than that. Yeah buddy. I like Tex-Mex cornbread also, good stuff.

I like about a TBL spoon of honey with my cornbread and milk.

Hope you used bacon grease.

I used to use a CI skillet until my shoulders got in too bad shape to hold the skillet and board too turn out. I use a 8" square cast iron pan now with a thinner board. Works perfectly.

I love my cornbread. And buttermilk. I tried something different last week. I used my Belgian waffle maker to make it. Wow, no crumbling, just the right size. I cook almost exclusively in cast iron.

My wife makes a Vidalia onion upside down corn bread. Cover the bottom of a greased cast iron fry pan with Vidalia (sweet) onion slices. Add the corn bread batter and bake. Turn out upside down onto a platter.

There you are! I was wondering about you. Are you able to stay out of NYC?

I was wondering the same thing about TK.

rjniles, I hadn't thought about that, I bet it is good.

This onion thing is above my skill level but i mentioned it to the wife and i'm sure she'll try that. She said jalapeno pepper or bell pepper mixed into the batter as another options she likes.

I didn't realize you could make cornbread in anything other than a cast iron skillet :wink2:
IMO my wife makes the best cornbread, her sister even agrees. I'll eat cornbread with just butter on it or crumbled up and mixed with whatever else was fixed.

If I am making corn bread for dressing, I add the poultry seasoning and sage to the batter.
Excellent results!

I plan to make corn bread today to go with chili and pinto beans. I use stone ground cornmeal and make a pan liner of parchment paper to prevent sticking. Cook in cast iron, but wife wants to scour my pan when my back is turned, thus the parchment paper. :sad:

Another similar and easier version is adding a can of Green Giant Steamed Crisp Mexicorn to the batter.

I can still tolerate the C I skillet until it's time to dump it over in a platter then I fair much better with 2 hands and potholders in each. Maybe i should dig back into the potholder drawer farther and find that pair of mittens.

My mother would serve corn bread with warm lemon pudding over it as a dessert. Funny, I was talking with the wife about that a couple days ago. I think it's on the menu coming soon!

That is a great idea to put the sage and stuff in the cornbread when making dressing. Man when you said your wife likes to scour your cast iron skillet it gave me goose bumps, I would cry. lol We have one skillet we use for nothing but cornbread, it is as slick as a piece of glass, scouring it would ruin it.
