CORNMEAL, SELF RISING



Cornmeal, self rising image

I read tons of blogs and I cringe every time I see "self rising cornmeal" in a recipe. Why? Because I know that the cmments will say what is that, no clue, can i use Jiffy mix, how bout corn bread mix. Most Southerners know what it is and would never use Jiffy mix cause that is more like a cornmeal cake. No wonder there are now mixes for cornbread, mixes for pumpkin bread, mixes for just about everything, because we are losing the ability to cook anything if it does not come from a box and what a big old shame that is. Self rising cornmeal is NOT cornmeal mix which has flour added.

Categories     Other Breads

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
3/4 cup(s) +3 tablespoons cornmeal

Steps:

  • Mix together all ingredients and stir well then use as directed in recipes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal has a better flavor and texture than older cornmeal. If you can, buy cornmeal that is milled within the past few months.
  • Measure your ingredients carefully: Self-rising cornmeal is a combination of cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. If you don't measure your ingredients carefully, your cornbread may not turn out as expected.
  • Mix your batter thoroughly: Be sure to mix your batter until it is smooth and free of lumps. This will help to ensure that your cornbread cooks evenly.
  • Bake your cornbread in a hot oven: The high oven temperature will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.
  • Let your cornbread cool before serving: This will help to prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Self-rising cornmeal is a versatile ingredient that can be used to make a variety of delicious dishes. With its slightly sweet flavor and coarse texture, it adds a unique touch to everything from cornbread to pancakes to muffins. If you're looking for a new way to enjoy cornmeal, be sure to try one of the recipes in this article.
