i just downloaded a book called:
The Cornbread Bible A recipe Storybook by Jennifer Shambrook PhD When I get my corn meal next week I will be well set:) A question if I may to all the cornmeal aficionados? She talks about self raising cornmeal. If the stuff I get isn't self raising, what proportion of raising agent (and what) will I need to use? -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

I've read, and tucked away for future use, that the substitution is 1 cup plain cornmeal + 1 1/2 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp salt = 1 cup self-rising cornmeal. I admit that, to date, I have not had the need for self-rising cornmeal. |

I believe it is a "southern" thing, or at least regional. We have it here in STL in some supermarkets, pretty much the same ones that have hock and shanks and similar items. Though my grandmother never used it, preferring coarse ground from the feed mill, self-rising cornmeal is what was sold in my grandparents general store in 1950s Kentucky. |

IF you want to be baking the best cornbread, you will want to get your
cornmeal from a place that ground it recently and stored it gently and briefly. Cornmeal that's been sitting in a warehouse in formidable temps for years is not going to serve you well. Polly |

I downloaded it because you mentioned it, but I've been "otherwise occupied" today to now and haven't gotten any further. BTW: The price for that Kindle book was " right", so I put it on my cloud version of Kindle! Thank you for mentioning it. I am not good about perusing the Kindle "deals" that come in daily. Hope you still have that cornbread recipe I gave you, because it's really delicious. I also have a cake recipe that calls for a combination of cornmeal and flour, but I've ended up making something else the last two times I thought I'd make it - so I can't vouch for it yet. -- Good Food.

I'm not sure if self-rising cornmeal has flour added or not; I think it does. I use plain yellow cornmeal and add my own flour. [recipe below] My wife uses the white cornmeal mix that has flour in it already -- she doesn't know it has any flour -- and makes it with buttermilk. I'm not sure what recipe she uses. Hers is quite different but good too, except when she buys white cornmeal by mistake instead of the mix and doesnt adjust the recipe. HTH, Bob *Corn Bread* 1 cup yellow cornmeal (not “cornmeal mix”) 1 cup all-purpose flour 4 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 2 eggs 1 cup milk 1/4 cup cooking oil or melted shortening 1/4 cup sugar (if you’re a Yankee) Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 10” iron skillet and put it in the oven while you quickly mix the batter... In a medium mixing bowl stir together the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center. Add the eggs, milk, and oil. Whisk the wet ingredients with a fork, trying not to pull in much of the dry ingredients at first, then stir it all together until moistened. Pour the batter into the hot skillet, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Makes about 8 servings. Notes: To make buttermilk cornbread: substitute 1 C buttermilk, add 1/2 tsp baking soda, and reduce the baking powder to 2 tsp. I added a 15 oz can of creamed corn, and it tasted good but was way too moist; I should have reduced the milk. |

Good suggestion; some do have flour, others don't. Aunt Jemima brand does not, Martha White does. Some are called self-rising cornmeal, other self-rising cornmeal mix - best to read the ingredients panel to know what any given product has in it. |

I can't answer for joan, but I prefer plain cornmeal and plain flour because I use it for things other than baking. Flour for making a simple white sauce, for example. Another example, I combine cornmeal and flour to make a coating for fish fillets. I certainly don't want leavening in the flour or cornmeal for those applications. Jill |

Yes, I use both flours for various needs, but of course the corn meal is brand new to me:) -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

I wonder if you'd like Hush Puppies? Before you ask, I'll tell you the Southern US legend. :) The Legend of Hush Puppies. Many years ago when men were fishing on the banks of the Mississippi River, they'd gather their catch and fry it in deep cast iron skillets right there. They'd make a cornmeal batter and fry up the fish. Naturally they had their dogs with them. The dogs would cry for the fish. So they put some of the cornmeal batter into the frying pan, cooked it up, and tossed it to the dogs, saying, "Hush, puppies!" :) Hush Puppies are deep fried cornmeal batter, usually containing minced onion. Here's an image: http://tinyurl.com/lw5bvfp They're really very tasty! But you don't like corn, so maybe not to your liking. In my case, I don't deep fry anymore. Jill |

My wife got the recipe from her high school friend who must have been an LDS member and she passed the recipe typed on paper torn out of a notebook to me on the spot. The way I recall it, it was like she was giving me a secret church recipe. What was unique about it was that it used Bisquick mix, one cup of butter, one cup of sugar, and a small amount of cornmeal. It think it was around half a cup. It made a killer light and sweet cornmeal cake that was nothing like a traditional cornbread. Traditionalists would shit in their pants at it being called "cornbread" but these days it's called "Hawaiian cornbread" which seems appropriate. The strange thing is that it may have it's origins in the Mormon church. Well hell, my recipe certainly did. :-) |
