It's a rainy gloomy day... seemed like a good day to bake some corns
ticks. Leftover batter went into muffin tins. Oops, I forgot to grease
the muffin tins.

I love corn sticks and have two cast iron pans to bake them in. I saw
someone say on TV the other day that if you take cornbread batter and
make pancakes out of it, that's Johnny Cakes. Is it true?

I imagine it was her version of "milk toast"... I love to use my
buttermilk as a cornbread ingredient. So yummy!

I made a small skillet of cornbread a bit over an hour
ago. I baked it to go with spicy black eyed peas; no
picture, sorry.

Dang, that leaves me wondering what the heck happened to my parents'
corn shaped cast iron pone mold. I remember my mother making corn bread
a few times in it and how much I liked it. We weren't Southerners, not
even Americans. I have never seen one of those molds for sale around here.

Yes, sf, basically fried cornbread batter is Johnny Cakes.

The corn stick cast iron pans are readily available from various places on

There is a big difference between what is available in stores around
here and what it available at Amazon. This is not the southern US and
corn bread is not a common food around here.

I'm telling you, it's true! You can actually find cornbread recipes
that call for regular milk on the internet. :)

I agree with all of the above except the bacon fat and the only reason
why is because I never remember to try it. I will one of these
days... but I'll probably start with half/half because I think the
flavor of bacon often overpowers the dish it's used in.

I bought mine at an old fashioned hardware store, but Amazon has them
if you search for "cast iron cornstick pan".

I'm not sure I've ever made cornbread with buttermilk. I rarely have
it on hand, so I generally use regular milk.

I have also never made it with buttermilk. We had it often when I was young,
and I still make it several times a year, at least. I guess it's popular with chili,
but we never had it like that.

I'm not a huge fan of cornbread. The only time I ever make it is to go
with chili. For some reason, that works but otherwise, I consider it a
very inferior food. No offense to others, just my opinion.

If you can buy a pint (not easy to find around here) of buttermilk,
try making buttermilk cornbread - it will change your life. LOL I
have all sorts of uses for the quart size cartons I normally have to
buy, so it doesn't go to waste.

Chili is the usual reason why I make cornbread too. Hubby loves it in
place of regular bread as his breakfast toast, so that's where most of
the leftovers go - but a favorite main dish use for leftover cornbread
is underneath creamed chicken.

We had cornbread as a main dish for supper, like having breakfast for
dinner...served hot, cut into squares, split in half horizontally, and with
pats of butter and maple syrup. The butter melts right in, and the cornbread
readily soaks up the syrup....an alternative to pancakes or waffles, and
usually served with sausage, bacon or ham.

I buy powdered buttermilk at the Bulk Barn. It may not be exactly the
same as fresh <?> buttermilk, but it works well in cooking. I can't say
that it is cheap, but it is cheaper than buying it by the quart and
throwing half of it away.

LOL I rarely think to buy buttermilk. I "sour" regular milk by adding a
little vinegar to it. It's an old trick.

Be sure that some will say it is not the same as real buttermilk, but
the fact is that you get basically the same results. We frequently make
pancakes and buttermilk is my choice. If I happen to have buttermilk on
hand I will use it. We usually have powdered buttermilk on hand, so that
is what I usually use. If we are out of that I do the vinegar thing, and
it always works nicely.

I made my skillet of cornbread with plain milk yesterday
as I had no buttermilk. I don't think my mother ever made
cornbread with buttermilk; wasn't something that was stocked
in the refrigerator.

Also, you'll only be using a small amount of bacon fat; a
tablespoon or less. That's used for flavor, yes, but mainly
to grease the skillet. I don't know about others here, but
I put my bacon fat in the skillet and in the oven it goes to
get rip roaring hot before I pour that cornmeal batter in it.

Why would you throw it away? It's already soured milk so it's
not it is going to go bad.

Buttermilk makes a kick-ass panna cotta too, but speaking of ice cream
- I saw one earlier today that I thought was worth trying this summer.

I do the same thing with my cast iron skillet when I make cornbread.

I think most people who use a cast iron skillet put it into the oven
when they turn it on. I'm glad Joan clarified that bacon fat is only
used to coat the pan. OK, I can do that. ;)

Well, when buttermilk is bad, it is solid and sour, it won't pour. So, yes,
I dump I t. It isn't exactly the same as sour milk, anyway. Soured milk
may work as well in some recipes, but it's not the same.

It was a guess on my part considering where he lives and he said corn
sticks/bread isn't the norm in Canada. I've had mine for decades, I
don't remember where I got it.

Pretty much. If you're interested you should try boli's recipe on the
RFC web site for griddle cakes:

IMHO the batter should be a bit more thin for Johnny Cakes than for
traditional Southern cornbread. No reason why it wouldn't work, though.
People pan-fry polenta. They pan-fry grits. While they're not
exactly the same thing the concept is correct. :)
