Outstanding looking meal Derek.

Thanks for the cornbread from scratch recipe. I just use the JiffyMix boxed stuff with a little tweaking at times.

[Derek]

Any time Mike, Any time!

Glad I can contribute you a little.

My mom say's it was close to her first husbands Corn bread and he was a Texan.

She said the only thing that was missing for her was the onions.

Was this copy 'n pasted from allrecipes.com ? The font looks familiar and I do not see any typo's...

The pictures look great, nice work on making it your own!

[Derek]

Thanks Marty,, I didn't know that this recipe came from there, A friend of mine from facebook posted it on my wall.

Yep it was really tasty though.

That aint no cornbread from the south that's for sure... Looks like it could have used a few minutes more in the oven, but it sounds good for a yankee recipe. Turkey Noodle soup is always good!!

[Derek]

Thank you Mike, Anway I can get a real southern corn bread recipe?

That there's what we call Johnny cake, well around my house anyway. I think cornbread is like grits and just gets so much better with the addition of a few simple ingredients. Got a go to holiday johnny cake recipe with corn, onion, and small curd cottage cheese..yum

Great looking grub Derek, my only suggestion would be ....larger portions:D

Here you go Derek, this recipe is from Ree Drummond. As you can see, it is just plain old cornbread, no sugar, no honey, no roasted red bell peppers. Just plain old southern cornbread.


Skillet Cornbread

Ingredients
1 cup Yellow Cornmeal
1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1 cup Buttermilk
1/2 cup Milk
1 whole Egg
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 cup Shortening
2 Tablespoons Shortening
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Combine cornmeal, flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Stir together.
Measure the buttermilk and milk in a measuring cup and add the egg. Stir together with a fork. Add the baking soda and stir.
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork until combined.
In a small bowl, melt 1/4 shortening. Slowly add melted shortening to the batter, stirring until just combined. In an iron skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons shortening over medium heat. Pour the batter into the hot skillet. Spread to even out the surface. (Batter should sizzle.)
Cook on stovetop for 1 minute, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Edges should be crispy!

I've never gone wrong with a hot CI Skillet, a few tbs of butter and Jiffy Mix.
I do like good cornbread....I'd take a slice of yours...looks good to me. ;)

Here is a really simple real southern corn bread recipe:
1 egg beaten
1 and 1/2 cups of buttermilk
1/4 cup of oil or melted shortening
2 cups of self rising corn meal (this eliminates the need for baking powder and flour)

Heat a Cast Iron skillet in a 450 degree oven with either the oil or shortening in the skillet (this is the key to a crispy and non-sticking corn bread)
combine all of the other ingredients and mix well.
Pour into the heated skillet and cook for 20-25 minutes at 450 degrees.

Easy and delicious !!

I like cornbread any ol way. Been stuck on the hot water CB recipe the last few cooks. Only has a Tbls. Of AP flour. Nice lookin meal Derek.

[Derek]

Thank you Lee and Troy, Mike thanks for the recipe.

[bbqbull]

We do cornbread on top of the wood stove in our deer blind to compliment our long time simmered chili. Life cannot get any better.

[SmokinLee]

Your missing the sugar Mike. Lol I just had to have soup and cornbread today for dinner myself. Smoked a couple bone in pork chops a coupla days ago for soup bones/meat. I aint payin the stores crazy money for some meatless smoked neck bones. I seen some smoked turkey drumsticks which make excellent bean and pea soup, 9 bucks for a twin pack. Dont think so
