Cornbread!

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This is my favorite version of cornbread, moist, simple and delicious. It’s great with fried chicken, or stew. I love this with a bowl of hot chili on a cold winter’s day!  It’s also great with beans and rice or beans and greens.

    That looks so good! I love cornbread, but it has to be homemade. Store-bought tends to be dry. Thanks for sharing as your “C” post.

    Cornbread just isn’t cornbread without buttermilk and cast iron. I have a favorite skillet I use only for cornbread.

    Cornbread – what can I say that hasn’t already been said before? Delicious, nutritious and did I say delicious?
    I just heard a bit of info about cornbread in ‘the old days’ (1600’s) because there was no such thing as baking powder and baking soda, cornbread was made with yeast. As I know nothing about making bread, how would this affect the resulting bread? Would it be crumbly like it is now, or doughy like regular bread?

      VBR:

      Not sure what yeast would do to it. It might have a crunchier top and a heavier feel like whole wheat bread.

      I may have to play with that idea!

      xxoo,

    Oh I’m a great lover of cornbread, and your recipe sounds delicious, especially with that touch of honey! There are certain foods that require cornbread in our house — like black eyed peas or stew or chili. And plenty of butter and syrup poured on a slice for dessert!

    I’m liking your “C” word cornbread. I hope you are saving me a piece. Did you know that I didn’t eat cornbread until I came South. Even though we raised corn on our Nebraska farm.

    I really hate to admit this to you, but I don’t have a cast iron pan. I’ve been looking at them though. The bread looks crumbly and delicious. Hope your Dad is home.
