BEST CRACKLING CORNBREAD



Best Crackling Cornbread image

This recipe was my Grandmothers which I got from my mother. I added to it and made what I think is the best tasting cornbread that has ever been (just my opinion). I have made this for my family for years and also have used this same recipe to make 500 little 1 oz muffins that we use in Chili cookoffs as well as in Brunswick Stew cookoffs. This recipe is for a batch that will make a large 10" cast Iron skillet of cornbread or will make about 5 dozen of the 1oz muffins. Hope you enjoy. Mr. "T"

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a better flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but be sure to check the expiration date.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a preheated oven. This will help the cornbread to rise properly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the cornbread cool before serving. This will help the cornbread to set and make it easier to slice.

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It's also a great way to use up leftover cornmeal. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a cornbread recipe that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a side dish that's both delicious and easy to make, give cornbread a try.
