You've made Yankee cornbread, now make true Southern Skillet cornbread, baked at 425 in a hot skillet. Not too thick and no sugar. White Lily makes an excellent white cornmeal mix but that may not fit your format.
Would the baking time change if you made these into muffins?
yikes, you forgot the butter…
🥰😁❤
It's better if you list the ingredients in the description so we can have it ready to cook along.
Love how she has a beer ready to go 😁
I just made this. It was excellent. Just a few minor tweaks I did : I added 1 tsp of vanilla extract, sweet corn kernela as mentioned in the comments below and after I took it out of the oven, I poked some holes and rubbed it with more butter to keep it moist. Super yum! Esp fresh out of the oven. Also sent some to my neighbor and she was gushing over them 🙂
Not Julia with the whole lobster feast 🦞
wet into dry ????? why not dry into wet? it would be easier cleaning a dry bowl rather than two wet bowls
is julia at home and other things not originating on PBS going to be collected on your subscription website?
How long if I baked in muffin tin?
I love your videos.
Nice never made this before.
There is nothing like cornbread !!!
Was wondering if a temperature check with an instant read thermometer from the middle would also be an easy way to know that it's done, so I looked it up. King Arthur recommends 195-200°F for their recipe, in case anyone else is wondering (not sure how that compares with this exact recipe though, since the ingredients differ).
Should be savory like they make it in Natchez
Dinosaur BBQ in Rochester is where I first encountered cornbread! And amazing BBQ.
Delicate cornbread is such a yankee thing.
I like to add a can of sweet corn kernels or creamed corn to corn bread recipes. The addition really enhances the corn bread.
No gadgets please.
Equal parts of self-rising cornmeal and buttermilk. Mix it together. Add a good splash of oil.
In your cast iron, or enamel casserole, heat about an eighth of an inch of oil in a 350° oven. Let the cornbread batter sit for about 15 minutes.
Remove the pan and add the batter. Spread it out so that it goes to the inside edge of the bottom of the cooking dish/pan. Bake until the top is really, really golden brown.
Carefully remove the cornbread from the skillet by flipping it onto a plate. Cut and enjoy.
(Southern cornbread is not sweet. Desserts are sweet. 🤣)
Does anyone else notice the food appearing and disappearing on her countertop throughout the video? I want to see the rest of the video where you made the lobster, clams, ears of corn, salad, and whatever baked good was in that colander.
I like your scale. Where did you get that? I love how you showed us to check to see if it’s done. Thanks!
Corn pone just isn't served naked, AA sweet cream butter is the dressing that makes your mouth happy
Hey, forgot to pay dog tax!
Julia, I've used a similar recipe for years and it's always a hit so I'm sure your recipe is delicious too! I serve mine warm and we slather butter over top. Thanks for sharing! X
Tried it. You can’t beat southern cornbread!
Wow looking good! You make me hungry haha 😉 love your channel, I’m subscribed 😀
I made this last night and it was a hit in my house! Thanks for the recipe.
The deftness of julias movements is just so reassuring
Yummy!!! Looks easy and delicious, Perfect for Fall! And I have a Ziggy, too!
Weighs everything except for the honey. Forget the silly tool. Just weigh the honey straight into the bowl.
Oh, YUM. 😋
What would substituting in maple syrup for the honey do, d’ya think?
Your honey cornbread was awesome. It is one of my favorite side dishes
Corn bread wars: Julia vs. Bridget: Yankee vs Southern.
I'm born in Tennessee, nothing sweet in our Cornbread. HOWEVER, I do like a bit of sweetness in Mexican Cornbread, and have had a hard time finding a good recipe. Worked in a café years ago with a delicious recipe, but lost it and haven't been able to duplicate it.
I’m a total Julia stan, and I say this with love and because I find it endearing : I think Julia is psychically incapable of saying the word “last” without following it with “but not least”.
Seriously if ATK sold t-shirts that said “last but not least” with Julia’s face on them, I’d order one in every colour 😂❤️🥰
This is mostly similar to the cornbread recipe I made years ago that I got from a Mennonite woman. She used honey but a very small amount. Instead of butter she used bacon grease. Everyone loved it. I haven't made it in eons. You've inspired me to make one tomorrow.
My grandma used her grandma's cornbread recipe, and that's what I grew up on. Cornmeal, corn oil, and salt. Baked in a cast iron pan. Then covered in pinto beans. The next day grandpa would put the leftover cornbread in a glass with some buttermilk and eat it. These days I make cornbread so I can put it in a glass with buttermilk the next day. 🤣🤣🤣🌽🍞🧈🥛
