Corn Bread

I'll have to look for it, but I have a recipe I adapted from "The Breadbaker's Apprentice" that soaks cornmeal in buttermilk overnight. Mine is sugar-free, as proper cornbread should be. It is really good.
 
I remember making Jiffy cornbread when it used to be good decades ago.

Now I like the “Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread” recipie from Allrecipes.

It’s a sweet cornbread, but you can cut back on the sugar if you like.

I make cornbread with minced onions, jalapenos, and whole corn kernels.
I do the same with hushpuppies.
 
I'm pretty much in Hoss' camp. They only thing I'd add is that it must be cooked in a pre-heated cast iron skillet. The edges must be crispy and you must save some for milk and cornbread later in the evening. End of Story.
 
Three Rivers brand cornmeal...recipe on the package (buttermilk, eggs, and bacon grease) is the best. Then you can add extras (cracklin, peppers, scallions, cheese etc), if desired. Usually cooked in heirloom cast iron from the late 30's (I need to get the pre-WWI one seasoned again). Save the sugar for a cake. :boxing:
