if you are cookiing for a hundred and the cornbread is good, you will need quite a large amount take a look at the time involved if you only have a couple iron pans..I use my my large stainless servers..not quite as good as iron but better than tins and you will get done before the beer runs out..

Now we're talking! Jalapenos & sharp cheddar is what i like in my cornbread.

For that many people a sheet pan is a must. I use a 2" because that's what I've got. And yes on the jalapenos and cheese. Bon Appetit!

I have several cornbread stick pans.I think I will just start early and do several batches and freeze,reheat the day of.There is gonna be too much other stuff going on to go to the trouble of cooking it on site.Thanks for the replies.

Just a suggestion.

That'll gag a goat! Sorry, cornbread bias creeping in. If it ain't fresh its turkey dressing!

My recipe is also cornmeal, eggs, buttermilk and a bit of oil (bacon grease is perfect!). 99% of the time I use cast iron. If I was cooking for a bunch and had the right ovens I'd use sheet pans. It might not crust up like the cast iron bread but it would get done and be at the right temp.

As always, YMMV!

+1. I also do the cornmeal, eggs, buttermilk and bacon grease.

If it helps, I used to make mine in a 12" CI skillet. Awhile back, I tried the 10" which made the loaf deeper when baked - but also moister with no problems with the edge getting too done before the center. So using the 15" with extra batter should be fine.

Not sure if that helps you. Your feast sounds really tasty!!

Cowgirl, mind sharing your recipe?

Pmad I found it! :)

1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cups yellow cornmeal
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 egg (beaten)
you can add sugar.. up to 3/4 cup (optional)
1/4 cup veggie oil
1/4 cup minced onions
1 cup whole kernals of corn (grilled corn is great too)
minced jalapenos (as many as you like)

I warm the oil in a 10" cast iron skillet, mix the dry ingredients first then the wet...adding the corn, onions and jalapenos last. Pour the warmed oil into the batter and mix well.
Then pour all back into the skillet, bake at 400 degrees F for about 25 minutes.


You can leave the corn, onions and jalapeno out if you want plain cornbread.

I double or triple the recipe as needed.

The question now is...do YOU add the sugar Jeanie?
