Crackling Corn Bread image

To most of you Nothherners this bread may seem a bit unusual, but to many of us Southerners, we were introduced to this bread as kids by our parents & grand parents.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c yellow cornmeal
1 c all purpose flour
1/4 c sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 c milk
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/3 c vegetable oil or bacon fat
1 1/2 c cracklings or fried pork skins (rinds)

Steps:

  • 1. This recipe is from my cookbook in a section called MAMA'S RECIPES a collection of Southern favorite recipes that my mom made when I was growing up as a kid.
  • 2. PREHEAT OVEN TO 400 DEGREES F. Grease a 9 inch or 8X8 size baking dish. Mix dry ingredients in a medium size bowl and set aside. Then in another bowl beat together the wet ingredients, milk, eggs, vegetable oil until blended. Then pour into the dry mixture, and stir until it is combined. Stir in the pork rinds; mix but do not beat. Pour into prepared skillet or baking dish and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown.
  • 3. NOTE: If cracklings are not readily available, use fried pork rinds(skins) usually found in the snack food section.

I'm allergic to pork, so I used bacon bits instead of cracklings. It turned out great!

This cornbread is a bit too sweet for my taste. I prefer a more savory cornbread.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and cheese to give it more flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cornbread turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of cornbread, but this recipe changed my mind. The cracklings added a wonderful texture and flavor, and the bread was moist and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again!
