Janie BS: Urgent Cornbread Question! (27) RE: BS: Urgent Cornbread Question! 19 Sep 14


Your meal is over by this time. Will be interested in how you liked the cornbread.

On this side of the pond (USA) there are many variants. While I often make some variant of what I call "yankee cornbread" - sweet, with either equal parts flour an cornmeal, or a slightly higher proportion of wheat flour to cornmeal, to please guests, my native taste is for grittier cornmeal, unsweetened, or with no more than a tablespoon of sweetener. Yellow or white cornmeal doesn't matter, but I like a higher proportion of cornmeal, prefer it without any sweetener at all, good and gritty, baked in a skillet with a dark, crisp crust. Coarse grinds good! No softening before hand.

I like the tastes and textures of "yankee" cornbread just fine, those recipes, however, taste and feel in the mouth more like a desert or breakfast bread to this old hillbilly.

You can't go wrong. Have cornmeal, can make cornbread, no matter the grind.
