I like to add cheese and jalapeños to the mix
How do y'all spice it up

Can of creamed corn and some jalapeños. Also people fucking love corn bread, but they only really know it in the states. My cousin just visited me from England and she fell in love with cornbread. They just don't have it over there.

Cornbread should be slightly sweet, don't @ me

Baking it as a "float" on top of chili.

Life is good with chili & cornbread.

why are you sleeping on cornbread when you could just sleep on a mattress or something

>>12147194
Breakfast in bed?
Nah: Breakfast IS bed!

>>12147194
Because I can’t eat my mattress duh.

>>12147170
Bacon bits and pimiento cheese
Use mayo as half substitute for milk

I once had my cornbread complimented by a black man. Is this peak southern cooking skill anons?

>>12147268
Are you a fat white woman?

>>12147311
Skinny white kid. Just a damn good cook. I made a fully loaded corn bread loaf with bbq beans and we chowed down. Dude was shook

Cornbread is one of those foods that turn out one of two ways
>tender and delicious, one of the most mouthwatering things you’ve ever eaten, nice and moist.
>one of the most dry and crumbly pieces of shit you’ve ever put in your mouth, have fun dying after you try to swallow it and die from dehydration (this is the most common form it takes)
There’s no in between.

>>12147391
That’s why you always err on the side of undercooking.

Cheese, oregano, and Worcestershire sauce. My family loves it.

>>12147170
Cheese, pickled jalapeno, fresh corn, and green onion

>>12147170
My wife makes a kind of cornbread casserole thing with creamed corn added to the mix, cheddar and jalapenos, and then more cheddar on top. It's so fuckin good and MOIST.

I used to add honey to mine but I lost the taste for overly sweet cornbread.

>>12147179
I see your a man of taste as well.

Interesting. i am going to try this.

Are cornbread healthy?

I only make cornbread with chili, since the recipe I use calls for a shitload of butter, and a decent amount of sugar. It's one of my favorite foods. I like taking leftover slices, microwaving for maybe 15 seconds, and then spreading with a little butter or honey.

I've also made it with shredded cheese, corn, and jalapenos, and it was quite good. Had that with some potato soup.

>>12148732
Depends on the recipe. I'd say most of them are probably pretty good. That said, some are loaded with added sugar and whatnot, that would not be good.

>>12147093
No you're thinking of melba toast

>>12147170
Cracked black pepper and chipotle peppers.

>>12147179
Blasphemy. The bread of corn should be savory and spicy, but topped with butter and honey for contrast. But that’s okay you do you.

Didn't you see that tv program about the whale who was addicted to eating mattresses?

>>12147176
Creamed corn does wonders for keeping it moist. Next time I bake some I think I'm going to put a pan of water on the rack below the cornbread, too. Anyone got tips for moist corn bread, especially made in muffin tins? Extra eggs maybe? I was really disappointed and embarrassed a few years ago when I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for my family and the cornbread came out dry. I was doing so much other stuff that I left them in the oven too long.

>>12147093
woke.

buttermilk is amazing. you can add a little vinegar or lemon juice to regular milk if you don't have any.

>>12147268
it was just a way to trick you out of your cornbread

>muh corn
americans need to be stopped

Why is it that there are all these episodes where people like eating gritty things like ashes, pottery, mattress, and every time it's always a black woman? I think the desire to eat gritty dirt must be a genetic defect mostly present in black people

Cornbread
1 C. Cornmeal
1 C. AP Flour
1 t. Baking Powder
½ t. Baking Soda
1/8 t. Salt
½ C. Butter, Melted and Cooled Slightly
1/3 C. Packed Brown Sugar
2 T. Honey
1 Egg
1 C. Buttermilk*
Optional: 1 C. Shredded Cheddar

Preheat oven to 400. Grease and lightly flour an 8 or 9 inch square baking pan. Set aside.
Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, brown sugar, and honey until smooth and thick. There should be no brown sugar lumps. Then, add the egg and whisk until combined. Finally, add in the buttermilk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir to combine. Avoid overmixing. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden on top and cooked through. Let cool slightly before slicing.

Notes: Baked cornbread can be frozen for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the fridge and heat in the microwave or bake in a 300 heated oven for 10 minutes.

*To make a substitute for buttermilk, add 2-3 t. white vinegar or fresh lemon juice to a measuring cup. Then add enough milk to make 1 C. of liquid. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes.

this one was also decent. key for me is the buttermilk.

1 tablespoon vegetable, peanut, or canola oil
1-1/4 cups stone ground yellow cornmeal (medium grind)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour (can use half white flour and half whole wheat pastry flour)
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup + 2 tablespoons lowfat buttermilk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons honey (optional)
3 green onions, chopped--both white and green parts (1/3 cup)
1 cup corn (fresh, canned or frozen)
2 to 4 tablespoons minced jalapeno,depending on how much heat you want (remove seeds for less heat)
1 (4 oz.) can chopped green chiles (if there's liquid in the can, drain it)
1 1/2 cups (6 oz) shredded sharp or extra-sharp cheddar cheese (may use full or low fat cheese, but not fat-free)

Directions
--Brush 8x8 baking pan with oil and place in cold oven. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. (May also use 12-cup muffin pan or a cast iron skillet.)
--Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, cumin and black pepper in large bowl. Whisk together.
--In separate bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, and honey together. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients. Stir until just mixed--don't over mix.
--Add onion, corn, jalapeno, green chiles, and cheese; fold into batter until mixed.
Remove hot pan from oven and pour batter into it. Spread evenly and bake for 25-30 minutes (18-20 min. for 12" cast iron skillet and muffins) until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for at least 15 minutes so it firms up for easier cutting and serving.

Careful, down here in dixie there are the whitetrash equivalent of italian grandmas or TX chilli fags who go ballistic if you add wheat flour to corn bread.

>>12147170
1/4 cup brown sugar to the jiffy mix-1/2-1tbsp butter in each cup
