Corn Bread instructions

  1. If you don't like the grainy texture of most corn bread, make the batter the night before. It will soften the grains up..

  2. Put 2 tablespoons of oil in your baking pan or skillet. Place it in the oven. Preheat oven to 425°F. A hot pan will insure crispy crust on the corn bread..

  3. Mix dry ingredients. Then add remaining wet. You want a pudding type consistency. If yours is too thick add a little milk. If it's too thin add a little flour or corn meal. If you are adding add ins now's the time..

  4. Bake until golden brown on top and a fork can be inserted and come out clean..

  5. Run a butter knife around the edges of the pan. Careful not to cut into your corn bread.Place a plate or sheet pan larger than the baking pan over it. Flip your corn bread out to keep that crispy crust..

  6. Serve with hot with butter..

  7. ****Add in ideas. While mixing add 1/2 cup of corn, onions, peppers, cheese, bacon, cracklings, etc. I made it with leftover turkey sausage before. It was fabulous. Anything you think would be good! That's the cool thing about cooking you can let your personality shine. Make it your on!.

Pour the milk-and-egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until the ingredients are just incorporated. I've also replaced the vegetable oil with melted butter, which works very well. Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with egg mixture. This classic, savory Southern cornbread is just begging for a bowl of chili or a plate of ribs.
