TGIF dinner October 18, 2024

[Andy M.]

Actually, southerners don't agree on what's true cornbread. Is it sweet, or not?

I like sweet cornbread, while I know some people who call that "corncake." Jalapeño cornbread is popular in North Texas, but I'm not a big fan.

I'm like a lot of people down here, I'm okay with Jiffy corn muffin mix. I make mine from scratch because cornbread is really easy to make, and I always have the ingredients in my pantry, but I don't look down my nose at people who make it from that blue and white box. Homemade is better, but not night-and-day better.

I agree Jiffy's not bad.
The recipe I use is a sweeter cornbread that f\calls for cooking it in a CI skillet. I adapted it to large muffin tins so I could freeze them individually for easy breakfast muffins or for a chili side dish.

I've baked my cornbread in a few different pans, but my favorite is my 1920's era Griswold #8 cast iron pan. I'm sure it is all in my head, but it tastes better.
