Lol. True. But I tend to like my stuff sweeter. Looking at similar recipes they tend to use a tad more sugar as well, so maybe it's not just me?

My father would flat out refuse to eat cornbread with sugar in it. I always told him that I left the sugar out. I would add the small amount to cut the aftertaste and he thought it was great.

Is the corn bread recipe lurking in the thread?

Below is the recipe.
Taste is decent but we added more sugar. And as noted it still needed more. (In my opinion)




Here's the recipe I use. I usually cut it in half and bake it in a 4 or 5 inch iron skillet. I bake it at 425 checking after 20 minutes. Also, instead of all butter, I will put one or two tablespoons of butter in the measuring cup and then fill in the rest with vegetable oil to get the appropriate measuring cup size. I pour the butter/oil into a cold skillet and let it heat up in the oven as it is coming to temperature. When the oven has preheated, I take the pan out of the oven and then pour the melted butter and hot oil into the cornbread batter, stir it up, pour it all back into the hot pan, and then put it in the oven to bake. Best cornbread ever... and I'm not a big fan of the stuff.

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter melted (or bacon drippings)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal (or polenta)
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
2 teaspoons baking powder (optional: yields a fluffier cornbread)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup buttermilk (shake before measuring)
2 large eggs

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C | 400F and position a rack in the middle. Lightly grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or 9-inch square baking dish with butter and place skillet/dish into the oven to heat up.
(Alternatively for cast iron skillets: heat 1/2 cup of unmelted butter in your cast iron over stove top on medium heat until melted, turn heat off then allow the butter to cool slightly before adding to the batter.)
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder (If using), baking soda and salt.
Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk and eggs. Mix together well to combine, then add in the slightly cooled melted butter. Mix again until 'just' combined (don't over mix).
Carefully remove your 'hot' pan or dish from the oven with oven mitts, and pour the batter into the hot skillet or dish. Listen to that sizzle! That's what you want.
Bake until the cornbread begins to brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (about 20-23 minutes). Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Reduce cooking time slightly. Clean toothpick will be the best judge of doneness.

That would be fine. It would just be a little thinner. Check it earlier so it doesn't burn, but it would get nice and crunchy.

Bob's lazy-ass nephew strikes again! Bits of Rotisserie Chicken, Cream of chicken soup and store brand unbaked biscuits= Chicken and Dumplings. Bob's your uncle!
Much better than I expected, but I should have made the dumplings smaller so they would cook through quicker in the soup. I made 4 dumplings from each "Texas-size" biscuit, should have been 6.





On the back burner I was playing around with frying a flattened unbaked biscuit. It actually worked out and would make a decent vehicle for jam or syrup or maybe berries and whipped cream.

Does the corn bread get taken out of the cast iron once cooked or does it cool in there???? I just put it in and should have asked way sooner.

Take it out and flip it over and out on to a cooling rack. If it stays in the pan too long it will start to sweat. You want it to stay crunchy.

I wasn’t gonna mention that. I didn’t want @DrWatson to know I blasphemed his recipe. Since I said that, I substitute honey anytime a recipe requires sugar.

Jalapeno cornbread can't be hidden from me, and the green was obvious.

I used to have the 1970's Furr's Cafeteria recipe,.. it was really good. I put myself through Jr. high and high school working there. Almost became a restaurant manager but I burned out, and it wasn't my calling.
