This is the seventh recipe of 31 in The Spirit of Food. Since I don't have the permission from the publisher to post the recipe yet, feast your eyes on the how-to- photos of this wonderful cornbread.
Fresh eggs from my hens made the the cornbread mixture even more beautifully yellow.
The key to nicely browned cornbread is the hot cast iron skillet coated with butter-flavored Crisco.
Rich buttermilk is added to yellow cornmeal, flour, salt, and sugar.
Pour batter into the hot skillet and spread it evenly.
Bake. Beautifully browned and moist cornbread emerges.
I will post the recipe as soon as I have the permission.
Recipe 7 of 31.
I want a skillet specifically so that I can bake cornbread for others :) Those pictures are unreal. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYummy cornbread and amazing photos!!
ReplyDeleteFresh cornbread is heavenly! Your kitchen must have smelled incredible, I ought to try this method of baking corn bread in a cast iron pan.
ReplyDeleteKay, can you believe that I never baked cornbread? Love the idea of baking in the skillet...it sure looks so fluffy and yummie.
ReplyDeleteI want a cast iron skillet just for the purpose of making corn bread!! This looks so yummy! Gotta love farm fresh eggs!!
ReplyDeleteYour cornbread turned out beautiful-my cast iron skillet looks like yours...pure black and perfectly seasoned. Great photos as well!
ReplyDeleteI have never made cornbread before, but have been wanting to ever since I inaugurated my first cast iron skillet a little over a year ago. Can't wait to make this.
ReplyDeleteSomething about cornbread...topped with butter and honey...that just means HOME
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering. I'm thinking of making something similar to this when we have our friends over after church next month. PW has a recipe, but would love this one too! I need to find out if they're sending me the book... =) Hope you're doing well, sister!
ReplyDeleteI've made a lot of cornbread...but like a few others, I still don't have a cast iron skillet to try it this way.
ReplyDeletePerfection. I want some badly.
ReplyDeletecornbread is useless to me unless it's prepared in a cast-iron skillet. i've been spoiled like that. :)
ReplyDeletethis looks awesome...and yes, a cast iron skillet is essential..I do have one teeny suggestion..try using bacon grease instead of the crisco...it's amazing! :)
ReplyDeletepretty pictures!
love,
cathy b.@ brightbakes
I love cornbread and this one looks wonderful! A pity I can't find such skillets here...
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Rosa
Oh YUM! I actually just bought a cast iron skillet and would love to make this bread in it!
ReplyDeleteYum! I've been wanting a good cornbread recipe.
ReplyDeleteAnd the skillet is so pretty too.
Kay, this looks divine! I'm looking forward to the recipe. You got some beautiful snaps there as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up to Family Friendly Fridays! Have a wonderful weekend!
Cornbread. I. Love. It. So. Stat.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you, fellow Georgia gal! :)
What a delicious looking cornbread. I bet it was very tasty. And fresh eggs from your hens, hello. Your photos are fab!
ReplyDeleteI adore cornbread cooked in a cast iron skillet! Gosh, where do you keep your hens? My sister has bantam chickens in a large pen and I am the grateful recipient of eggs all the time. They taste so much better than the eggs in the grocery store which makes them very precious.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried cornbread but it indeed looks super delicious...!
ReplyDeleteKay, thank you for your blog- I enjoy it so very much! For those seeking a black skillet- watch your local antique/ previously loved shops. I've found nice ones- even corn shaped cast iron muffin pans that make terrific corn bread sticks! I'll use a tad of bacon grease (not as much as before we al became healthy) and a little veg oil. Take good care of your cast iron and it will take care of you :}

ReplyDeleteYou know..., I've never made cornbread, it certainly looks like some good old fashioned soul food too :)
