Default Closer To Southern Cornbread


Well closer than I usually make. I did my usual thing with the recipe
off the back of the Quaker paper drum but added half a can of creamed
corn. I adjust the flour and added a bit more corn. Usually I use a
9X9 baking dish but this time I used a pyrex loaf pan. I've never
understood CB as a side for chili but I can see it working just fine
with what came out of the oven. The stuff came out great. Even you
die hard no sugar folks can't say this doesn't look good.

Love ya Lew, but........not crusty enough, too thick. I prefer my
cornbread made in my cast iron skillet so I can get a good crust on
there.

I toasted it and we had it with sausages and eggs. It was crunchy.

How thick do you want a crust? That was thick. I've made cornbread
in a preheated skillet and I don't think it got any thicker.

Ha-ha! I have been adding a little sugar to my cornbread and I like it.
When I make cornbread to make dressing, I do not add sugar.

It is nice to see you back!

I put a smidge of sugar in my cornbread, too, but not when I'm going
to make dressing with that bread.

I also prefer a caste iron skillet, heated to the almost smoking
point.

Nor do I get appeal of chili and cornbread.

Your cornbread looks great, honestly it almost looks like pound cake!
