I realized awhile back that cornbread is something that ppl are really adamant about. 😂 I grew up in a NO sugar household and that’s what I like. But a couple of things my mom passed on was to let the batter rest while you heated your iron skillet on the stovetop and get it screaming hot then pour the batter in. Then bake. It made the sides and bottom soooo crunchy and brown, the inside was fluffy. It was the perfect vehicle for “soup beans”. So happy you made a cornbread tutorial. Love your videos.

Oh, yeah, want to start a fight on the US corners of the internet? Claim you have the One True Cornbread recipe or the One True Biscuit recipe. 😂 I didn't grow up in a completely no sugar household, but my mother never put sugar in cornbread so it was a real shock the first time I was at someone's house and bit into cornbread with sugar in it. My brain wiring shorted. I'm totally going for the classic recipe no sugar and it's definitely going into the cast iron skillet!

if you want to skip the sugar but want the swwet, only add half of the muffin portion then drip a big dollop of honey, then add the 2nd half of batter. you can use a fork to seal it in by dragging it in a circle. keeps everything moist and doesnt overpower the cornmeal.

Thanks for all these cornbread variations. One of my favorite cornbread uses is as “dumplings” on top of chili. It’s especially good for serving up leftover chili when you want to make a different dish of it. It also stretches the chili if there isn’t quiet enough for a full bowl for everyone. I must say that I don’t care for chilies in the cornbread. I like spicy food balanced by the plain cornbread. Too many people add inclusions that leave the cornbread inedible.

I use self rising and add 2 or even 3 somewhat stiffly beaten egg whites (a hairs breadth away from merengue), then VERY carefully folded into batter, and it seems to make a lighter cornbread. I'm still experimenting (room temp. vs cold, brown egg vs. white, etc.).

Our local convenience station/grocery stores in southwestern Georgia make some amazing cornbread that is all corn meal, buttermilk, and salt and pepper. It's just savory and nothing else, and I crave it and it alone so much during the year. I have yet to find a recipe that tastes the same as their's, but I'm sure their recipe is nothing special and is as plain jane as they come. I wish I knew it, though!

@daenerystargaryen Жыл бұрын

For us outside of USA, what is the difference between corn meal, polenta and corn flour? We don't really have 'meals' here. Just flour and, in this case, polenta.

@miradfalco251 11 ай бұрын

Well, standard corn meal is a somewhat coarse grind, from dent type dry corn. Grits are even more coarse, but still from dent type corn. Traditional Italian Polenta is coarsely ground flint corn, rather than dent corn, but there are brands that just use the dent corn. Corn flour is a much finer grind, and is usually produced from dent corn. Dent corn dries with a little dimple at the top of each kernel. It's hard on the exterior, but has a softer starchy core, so is easier to grind. Masa, or Masa Harina made from nixtamalized dent corn. This process removes the outer skin, and acts to make the product more digestible and nutritious. This process also makes it possible to produce a workable dough that will hold a shape. The dry form is a fairly fine grind. Southern cooking traditionalists tend to favor using corn varieties with larger kernels., such as Hickory King, to produce hominy, but this does not apply to indigenous practice. Flint corn drys with a smooth rounded top, and is dense and hard, so can be more challenging to grind. I'd recommend doing an image search for Flint corn, Dent corn, and hominy corn. They come in a wide range of colors and kernel sizes, so you can take advantage of that to make gorgeous food.
