The corn head on the combine acted up last night early so I used my time while son worked on that to make a pan of corn bread. [img] https://i.imgur.[img] https://i.imgur.com/AysgVc5.jpg[/img][img]http://[/img]

That corn bread from Arkansas is mostly how I do it, except it should have 2 tablespoons of oil, lard, or bacon grease added to the recipe. Put said oil etc. in an 8 inch skillet, put in oven and when hot add to the mixture, stir, put back in skillet and put in oven to bake. When brown remove and let sit in the skillet for a bit before turning out on to a plate.
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Unsophisticated as I am, I have always been very happy with Jiffy. Corn bread is a staple where I live. That said quite a few of my friends prefer the box mixes with the nod going to Jiffy. Never made cornbread in my life so is it a flavor preference or simply more convenient ?

Can't imagine why any one would use a cornbread mix when it is so simple to make. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Imagine a pair of perky boobs about A cup size. Pour an equal amount of corn meal in one pile and another pile of flour to match. Pour out about a silver dollar size pile of baking powder and a quarter size pile of baking soda. Then add a nickel size pile of salt. Blend all dry ingredients well. Add two eggs and enough buttermilk to make a batter that will drip in dollops off your spoon. Splash some oil in a cast iron skillet and heat to almost smoking. Pour a good dollop of oil in your batter and mix well. Pour in skillet. Move skillet to oven for 20 minutes. Eat great cornbread.

Maybe try multiple grinds or a tighter setting. Multiple grinds usually deliver a finer flour./meal.
I know this from making corn likker years ago.
El Cheapo Corona grain mill is the ticket for the hobbyist.

plain cornbread is hard to beat. just follow directions.
my mom has become a fan of zippy mix stuff.
for real cornbread it can be jazzed up on special occasions: add a "floor" of pork cracklins in the pan, even blend in some cheese, & sliced jalapeno's if one is up to it.
adding a quarter or half cup of fried bacon certainly wouldn't detract from the final product either, although we never did do that. the cracklins is where it's at.
we always used sweet milk rather than buttermilk but it looks like buttermilk is a bit more popular with the rank & file.
a little butter on top never hurt a thing, but we seldom had any. it all got sold at the farmer's market to the city folks.

A box of Krusteaz Honey Cornbread mix is just too good, and too easy...

My Grand momma and mother are gone, and I'm not gonna hurt their feelings. But those packages are so much easier, KISS, and as good. Off subject, but try the frozen Pillsbury Grands biscuits and Pioneer country gravy mix, but use milk instead of water. capt david

I don't know why, but I've never been a fan. Everyone in my family loves it. The Southern guys on here will hate me since I'm not a big biscuit fan either. I can eat both, but never crave or go out of my way to get either.

I've used my Aunt Betty's recipe for 25 years & I've never tasted any better & I've ate a lot of corn bread, especially in Texas! Her recipe is by far the best. The secret is to go to your local Walmart or other store that has Betty Crocker corn bread & just follow the recipe, no, I'm not kidding! It's great & easy to make, I've fed it to a lot of out of town hunting buddies & they all love it. Give it a try.

Found this recipe for corn bread and Okra when I was trying to figure out what to do with a bumper crop of Okra and running out of recipes. https://www.melissassouthernstylekitchen.com/okra-cornbread/ Added Jalapenos and cheddar cheese to one batch and it was pretty good. I like to use the Bobs Red Mill Corn flower either the blue or the yellow. I also added some spelt flower to the flour portion for more flavor. This and some Venison Chili hits the spot on a cold day.

My grandmother had many meals where she ate nothing but cornbread and buttermilk. I love it too, and prefer it over any other kind of bread.
As far as sorghum goes, I like it on a biscuit. I prefer my cornbread straight, no butter, no nothing on it.

The Irish like buttermilk on their oatmeal, but it's probably "from the churn" and not the cultured buttermilk we get. I grew up eating a lot of cornbread and hot milk breakfasts, broken up in a bowl. Never tried it with buttermilk until a few years ago, and used cold milk that time. I liked it. I suspect you have to like both parts to like them together, of course.
Gonna search for that Betty mix today.

As far as sorghum goes, I like it on a biscuit. I prefer my cornbread straight, no butter, no nothing on it. I thought I was the only person on the planet that ate cornbread and buttermilk. my grandmother had a churn and made butter, I always hung around for the fresh buttermilk. she always had fresh baked cornbread. I often ate it for breakfast.. I was raised on a farm...
