SOUTHERN CORNBREAD



Southern Cornbread image

This is THE real Southern cornbread, at least in my family. This is the way my mother and grandmothers made it, with stone-ground white cornmeal and buttermilk. Baking it in a preheated cast-iron skillet gives it a wonderful toasty brown crust. If your skillet is seasoned properly the cornbread will never stick - it will fall right out of the skillet when you turn it over. I love it right out of the oven slathered with butter - it's a slice of heaven!

SOUTHERN PRIDE SWEET CORNBREAD



Southern Pride Sweet Cornbread image

Long before Boston Market cornered the market on cornbread, the women in my family were making up a darn good corn bread themselves. Every BBQ or potluck this cornbread was in demand. I finally handed one of my aunties a measuring cup (you know they never measure anything) and learned how to make it. It really does resemble the taste of Boston Market, almost could be a dessert with that sweet taste of honey and some butter on top...

MOM'S SOUTHERN CORNBREAD



Mom's Southern Cornbread image

My mom has been making this cornbread for over 40 years-I'm sure she got it from my grandma who was from Kentucky. It's not a sweet cornbread-just as good though. My father would take the leftovers and break a piece up in a glass of milk and eat it like cereal. It's very good. We always cook this in a cast iron skillet.

Time 50m

1 1/4 cups white cornmeal (can use yellow)
1 egg
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 -1 1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • Turn oven to 400 degrees.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels: Fresh corn kernels give the cornbread a sweeter and more flavorful taste. If you don't have fresh corn kernels, you can use frozen or canned corn kernels, but fresh is always best.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a hot oven: A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and cook evenly. Preheat the oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before you start mixing the batter.
  • Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the cornbread is done. If the toothpick comes out with batter on it, the cornbread needs to bake for a few minutes longer.
  • Serve the cornbread warm: Cornbread is best served warm, right out of the oven. You can also reheat it in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

Southern Sweet Cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and savory flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
