I am not a fan of cornbread. A lot of times it is dry, crumbly, and gritty. We went to a BBQ place a few weeks ago. The cornbread was awesome. Of course, the owner would not give me her recipe would not expect her to. So, I ran with it and experimented. I like the version here, but you can also use Jiffy corn muffin mix. ...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c 2 cups yellow self rising cornmeal
1/2 tsp salt
2 c boiling water
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 c chopped green onions
10 pickled jalapeno rings chopped fine
11/2 c vegetable oil + 1/4 cup bacon drippings for frying

Steps:

  • 1. Heat enough oil in a large heavy bottom skillet on high heat.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, mix together cornmeal and salt. Stir in enough boiling hot water that the cornmeal mixture comes together enough to spoon (not too thick and not too thin.
  • 3. When your oil is hot but,not smoking,you can either spoon your mix in the oil or shape each piece.Fry in oil about 5 minutes depending on how think the cakes only flip once.you want them to be golden and crispy.They absorb alot of oil so be sure to drain on paper towels.
  • 4. Note: These little gems are good served with beans.I make them when I have beans and fried chicken.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cornmeal: For the best texture and flavor, use a medium or coarse-ground cornmeal. Fine-ground cornmeal will result in a denser bread.
  • Preheat Your Pan: Make sure your cast iron skillet or baking pan is nice and hot before adding the batter. This will help create a crispy crust.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use Fresh Baking Powder: Baking powder loses its potency over time, so make sure you're using fresh baking powder for the best results.
  • Add Some Sweetness: A little bit of sugar or honey can help balance out the cornmeal's flavor. You can also add some spices, such as chili powder or cumin, for a savory twist.
