Ooops! but Save!
 

I just baked a pan of cornbread. I had laid out all the ingredients.
Yellow cornmeal, yep. Flour, yep. Baking powder, yep. (Made a note, I
need to buy more flour and also baking powder.) Salt, yep. An egg,
yep. Buttermilk... didn't have any so I soured plain milk with vinegar.
I'm sure someone will have a hissy fit because I use vegetable
shortening in my cornbread. Substitute butter if you wish but please
don't try to use EVOO, it won't be good.

Anyway, I heated the cast iron skillet in the oven with a dab of
shortening at 425F. Got it sizzling hot. Meanwhile I combined the dry
ingredients and cut in the shortening. I added the soured milk. Beat
the mixture until fairly smooth, then poured it into the hot skillet. I
put it in the oven... then I noticed ooops! The egg was still sitting
on the counter! Lickety split I got the pan out of the oven and quickly
cracked the egg and stirred it into the batter (which was sizzling) in
the skillet. I had to stir it very quickly so it wouldn't cook like
scrambled eggs. Whew! I managed to add the egg just in time. Saved
it! It smells delicious.

Glad you saved it, as it wouldn't have been a "save" if had not been
able to egg.

I just follow the recipe on the Albers yellow cornmeal box and either
make it in a square pan, or make it into muffins. I just use the regular
1 cup milk called for, and the cooking oil. I also add the sugar called
for, but I'm not from the South and I don't think "true" Southerners
would ever add sugar, but I like sweet cornbread myself.

I also never mix it till it's smooth, as with pancake batter, dumplings,
etc. I mix until the dry ingredients are JUST moistened.

The batter is always slightly lumpy. But yes, the egg is necessary. I
don't add a lot of sugar but I do add a little.

I wouldn't go crazy with curry. This is about as far afield as I'd
go. It's a different bean, but you get the general idea.

I'm intrigued by the dark brown crust next to the pan that kind of
resembles a pie crust. The whole thing looks delicious. Obvious to me, I
don't get my black iron pan hot enough before I pour in the batter or
cook it hot enough. I'm going to do that next time. Thanks.

Granted, I've not been exposed to a *lot* of curry. Once when we were
in Dallas (or was it Houston?) we had some really tasty curried lamb
meatballs. But overall I'm not a fan of curry.

My mother surpised the heck out of me one night by making curried rice.
(This is not something I grew up eating.) It was the most cooking I'd
seen her do in many years: chopping and sauteeing an onion, cooking the
rice (I think it was boil-n-bag rice, she'd "graduated" from Minute
Rice), adding curry powder and who knows what else. I ate it because
she went to a lot of effort. But it really wasn't very good.

425F, add a little fat and let the pan heat in the oven while mixing the
remaining ingredients. (Don't forget the egg! LOL) When you pour the
batter into the hot pan it should sizzle. That's what forms nice brown
crust. A non sequiter, I never use that particular cast iron skillet
for anything else.

Jill, my mother-in-law made cornbread almost everyday for lunch and sometimes for supper too. She said you have to put your heart in cornbread when I asked her how she made it. I think you did just that! She did almost the same as you without the flour, and with white Three Rivers Cornmeal. We have a mill about 2 miles from us where we buy our cornmeal and grits, and I always use the white meal, and I usually just make mine thin and on top of the stove in my cast iron skillet.

I sure wish I could repair your formatting. Maybe Thunderbird will do it.

Your mention of white cornmeal brings back memories of a man who used to
post here, Phil Walker (boli, bolivar). Back when RFC chat was very
active he was in the chat room a lot. We were forever getting into a
friendly "debate" about white vs. yellow cornmeal. (Ditto grits.) I
much prefer coursely ground *yellow* cornmeal. Phil's feet were firmly
planted in the white cornmeal camp. I miss him.

Again, we disagree. I think curry powder pretty much mimics Patac
brand (mild) curry paste... which, according to what I've read, is
fine.

The flavors of both are assertive and that appeals to me. I favor the
spicy curries that use garlic , cumin, pepper, chilies, coriander,
mustard, cinnamon, cloves . . .

None of the Patac simmer sauces taste alike. And, IMO, none taste
like generic curry powder. If you buy something at the store called
curry powder, you have no idea what you are getting. The few I've
tried have a nasty after taste that I do not find in the simmer sauces
or in the various named curry powders from Penzeys. I like the Patac
sauces. Currently, Costco is carrying a Korma in the dairy case --
just caught a glance at tit in didn't take in the brand.

Cornbread is one of my least favorite baked goods, can't remember last
I ate any. But I do love corn bread.

Ooops! but Save!

Love Mexican food but dislike curry. Didn't know before I saw this what was
in curry. I have a dislike for mustard. That could be why I don't like it.

To be honest, I didn't even realize mustard was a common ingredient in
Indian curry. Looking at the ingredients on my box of Madras curry
powder, it's listed last - so it can't be a predominate flavor.

Is it ground mustard seeds perhaps? Freshly toasted, black mustard seeds
just don't taste like Coleman's English Mustard.

It doesn't say what color they are, but they're probably yellow only
because I don't see any black specks in this one.
