Leftover cornbread and sweet fresh milk is my favorite

 

More info please? Milk over the cornbread? Dunked cornbread in milk? I wanna try.

 

Yes sir, cold glass of fresh milk and break up cornbread and drop in glass. Yummy

 

Was my grandmas favorite snack at night. Southern lady who grew up eating it.

 

Isn't it hard to drink? Thanks, Ima gonna try it.

 

Eat it with a spoon

 

Granny got me hooked on it many moons ago

 

Here's one to try. My favorite cornbread recipe. Adapted from a boring one by your's truly. Don't substitute for the Bulgarian buttermilk.

Ingredients
- 2 cups fine cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups Bulgarian buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp butter, melted

Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 deg F.
- Mix dry ingredients well.
- Grease a 10" cast-iron skillet lightly with butter.
- Place greased skillet in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. (It should be almost smoking when removed.)
- While the skillet is heating, add the buttermilk and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix only until smooth.
- Add the melted butter and mix until incorporated.
- Remove the hot skillet from the oven and immediately pour in the batter. It will sizzle and begin to form a crust.
- Return the skillet to the oven and bake at 425 deg F for 20 minutes. The cornbread will start to pull away from the wall of the skillet as cooks.
- Cool on a rack until you can't wait any longer.

 

Just found this thread from a link in the whiskey thread...imagine that. Anyway, I love cooking with cast iron and use it almost every time I cook. And, I cook 99% of the meals we eat. I have a couple of old pieces, including 1915-20 Wagner Drip-Drop Baster. Last year, I found out about Field Company cast iron. I have since bought a #8 and a #10 skillet from them. It's the best cast iron that I've ever used...just FYI. No, I have nothing to do with the company, just a satisfied customer.

 

Whiskey and cast iron go hand and hand my friend.

Also, I've been curious about Field Company after seeing their Kickstarter. Nice to hear they're putting out a good product.

 

I like sweet corn bread. My wifes dad loved buttermilk and regular cornbread

 

Creamed corn added in mix, yummy.

My dad taught me about left over, dried up, cornbread in a bowl with milk and sugar. Man, Oh, Man. Comfort Food. My dad was a depression baby.

 

We went to some friends for dinner last night. One of the guys there is from the south, and knowing full well the absolute disdain southerners have for using sugar in their cornbread, had some fun talking about how awesome sugar is in cornbread when he was just in earshot. Corn cake is what he called it, then proceeded to rail against northerners.

 

Don't beat me up! But I fix all kinds of cornbread depending on what the meal is. I like it all, sweet, jalapeno, mexican, regular and love hot water cornbread.

 

Both Field Company skillets passed the egg-slide test right out of the box. I was impressed.

 

And...as far as cornbread goes, the only good cornbread is buttermilk cornbread and I have the best cornbread recipe on the planet. No, yall can't have it.

 

Then it must not be that good. I mean if it was you would be more than willing to share it just to prove how bad everyone else’s recipe is.

 

LOL...nice try! People do ask for it all the time.

 

Man now I’m wanting some catfish, cornbread and beans.
