NVhntr; FatCity67,
We hope that you enjoy the cornbread.
Tex prefers buttered cornbread with what people from Northeast TX (Tex is from Camp County.) usually call: COUNTRY SUPPER, i.e., every sort of vegetables from the local seasonal gardens or farmer's market, boiled/fried/mashed/raw & served with (sometimes leftover meat of some sort) and fresh HOT cornbread.
(He once made me "country supper" after a trip to the local farmer's market & fixed 8 kinds of veggies. And, yes, hot cornbread, too. - I thought that that supper was "quite a feast".)
Btw, this same recipe can also be FRIED (using less milk for a thicker batter) & served as CORN FRITTERS, that to me look rather like thick pancakes.
(One of Tex's friends, who is from Athens, TX puts fresh "cut off the cob" corn kernels into about the same recipe.)
Sincerely, DarlaG
