Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Seriously divisive issue...

Enough of this petty bickering about sex, politics, and religion. Let's tackle on of the true wedge issues of our time:

Can you call it cornbread if it comes from a baking pan?
I say no. Anyone who attempts cornbread in a pan would probably add sugar. A double heresy! If you want cake, bake cake. Let me show you the truth and the light--South Alabama style, from a skillet passed down in my family.

Corn bread is best out of a pan......

Cast iron pan.

In the spirit of divisiveness ...its best out of a glass pan......

I figured folks from Montucky made it on the back of a hoe...

Is a hoe a spade?

or is a ho a spade?

Glass pan with plenty of sugar and butter.

Good cornbread is thin. Maybe half inch thick. Then split that and put some butter in there. Yum yum.

Jalapeno cornbread: don't care whether it comes from a glass pan or a skillet....

From cast iron, lots of butter, honey or real maple syrup.

Cast iron with cracklin in the cornbread.

We do it in a cast iron skillet here.

Are you talking about pork cracklins.

Cast Iron;

Crushed Red Peppers
Crushed Corn
Bacon Bits
Cheddar Cheese

and some spices I won't mention.

Made from corn meal, flour, and baking powder.

I always lay 3 strips of bacon across the top before baking.

You go Alagator I see your MamMaw saw you were raised right. I will maintain that corn sticks fixed in a cast iron pan also qualify. I had an Aunt that made the best corn sticks especially when slathered down with my Mam Maws fresh churned butter. The theory was it must have been her pans as no one could seem to get them quite the same. The family joke was we all would tell her that we wanted her corn stick pans in her will.. I will admit that I enjoy fried cornbread too in a pinch.
I wonder if many here know it's a sin to cut corn bread . You break off a piece never cut . I remember my wife's family about fainted the first time I broke off a piece of cornbread and put cream gravy on it. Once they tried it though they became believers

Same here!

chicken and cornbread go in a black iron skillet.

NO SUGAR! Done in a cast iron skillet or cast iron corn cob maker.

You must be thinking of Moochelle

Yep, not sure how the 'G' got in there, but that's the one. Good stuff in cornbread
