Put you pan (preferably cast iron) in the oven as it preheats. Make your batter. I add I tsp of sugar. I like a little sweet but don't want cake batter. When oven is preheated put 2 table spoons of butter in the pan and let it melt. It should be sizzling. Pour in batter and put in oven.
This will make your crust and edges sweet, brown and crunchy good and leave your middle soft Add a table spoon of bacon grease to make it even moar gooder. |

This is a very good recipe.
It's moist and has a nice flavor. I often add corn kernels also. I use a cast iron pan to cook it in and it leaves a nice outside crust but you don't have to do that. I've done it with both white and yellow corn meal and notice no difference. I'd love to get a real "corny" corn meal if someone can recommend a good brand. |

Real cornbread has buttermilk, an egg, and corn meal. It don't come out of a box and it don't have sugar and it sure don't have cinnamon. Now, after it's cooked right, it's real good with butter melted on it and covered with Sorghum Syrup. Of course, that's after you ate the first piece with your beans and greens.
Sugar and cinnamon? WTF? |

A whole lot of WTF in this thread, cornbread don't have sugar or cinnamon or any of that other shit, put a cast iron skillet on a burner with a big spoon full of bacon grease, mix your cornmeal and a small amount of flour, eggs, buttermilk and salt and pepper. Mix pour in skillet still on heat, cook for a minute and bake in oven at 450 til brown on top.

Roast a couple of Jalapeño or Serrano chiles. (I use a propane torch.) Peel the skin off. Discard the seeds and mince them up. Add that to the cornbread.

We always keep some jiffy cornbread mix for something in a pinch.
I add about a tablespoon of honey and some crushed red pepper flakes and then let it sit for about 5 minutes before putting it in a pan. The key is to not overcook it and I will also throw a towel over it after popping it out of the pan to help to keep it from drying out. Sometimes I will make it with a mini muffin pan. Works good that way if you like "end pieces" and the kids like them that way too. Also makes for easy leftovers in a small ziplock with less mess. |

I am a Yankee....sorry, but I know what I like. Yes, I've had awesome corn bread while in the south, and even my favorite while at a place up here in Michigan from a place called Bad Brads that is smoked. Just trying to do a simple/lazy oven type.

As for sweet cornbread, I like cornbread sticks like that. Almost like cake.
Now, as to your dry cornbread issue, there is a pretty simple fix. Bacon. Yes, the solution to almost any food issue. So, fry up about a half pound of bacon, nice and crisp. Remove the bacon, leave the grease. Mix up you batter, add a bit extra milk. You use milk, right? Put the skillet with the bacon grease into the hot oven for about 10 minutes, or until the grease starts to smoke a bit. While you are waiting, crumble the bacon and add it to the batter. Now, take the skillet out. Pour the hot grease into the batter, mix in with the crumbled bacon. Dump the batter into the hot skillet and bake the cornbread as usual. |

To get good cornbread, you need good cornmeal. You won't find that in the box at the store, either. You're really not saving much time using a boxed mix, why bother? There are only a few ingredients and any half decent cook should have them on hand.

I just use the recipe out of the tried and true betty crocker cookbook.
Works fine. Sometimes I'll adjust it; diced green chile pepper and some shredded cheese, or just adding sugar for a slightly sweet taste. Almost always give a good pinch of cayenne. |
