Your grandfather was a very smart man. He knew the correct way to eat cornbread and milk. Buttermilk is required!. Love your videos. Gonna try your cornbread recipe today. Never made cornbread before.
We will be trying this recipe next week, and really looking forward to it. My wife was raised on Jiffy. And when we were married, that's what I had as well. I don't mind but it isn't the same. So after 20+ years, decided to just make it myself. Picked up the fixings for soup beans with a ham bone and apple crisp as well. And as to why I waited this long, I am patient and don't stress things that are simply not worth bothering with. Happy wife, happy life and all that. And I could have good cornbread occasionally on the road as a trucker, i knew where to go back then. But I have been retired for a while and decided it was time. Thanks for the recipe!
Made this tonight. I live in Texas and no store around me has this brand. So I ordered some. Best cornbread I've ever ate or made. Thank you thank you. Do you ever half this recipe?
100% correct!!! No sugar in cornbread. I bought cornbread in the stores a very few times and it was cake not bread. Disgusting. Liked and subscribed! Thanks.
I definitely agree with the sweet corn bread its for breakfast muffins only. My mama was from NC she made real corn bread for us. Here in MD it's hard to find the unsweet kind in restaurants and grocery stores.. I have to make it myself most times.
If you weigh your cornmeal vice using a volume measurement the batter is runnier. So, if you want a thicker batter adjust milk or cornmeal. And just to kick it up I went south of the border and added canned, chopped jalapenos.
I have been hunting for an unsweetenedd cornbread recipe for a while. This looks good, I think she'd have gotten more hits on this recipe if she'd had the word unsweetened in the description. I used to watch my dad eat it with buttermilk when I was a small child. I'll be trying this recipe.
I can tell by your accent...You will make it like my mom AKA The Right Way. We shipped White Lily flour to my sister in New Jersey for biscuits. It is a very special and a very regional brand
I melt real butter in my cast iron in the oven before I pore the batter in it:) Doesn't matter if that butter turns into brown butter either as I really like that the best, just keep an eye on it so it is not burnt butter! Cast Iron is best for this too. And I edit to say that saved bacon grease kicks this up another notch too.)
People try to make cornbread something other than real southern cornbread. Your recipe is as close as it gets to real southern cornbread, and I agree, no sugar in cornbread. About the only thing different we do is preheat our cast iron skillet in the oven with about a tspoon of bacon grease in it. We've got a collection of about 30 cast iron skillets and have two that we cook nothing but cornbread in, like yours, inherited. Thanks for taking the time to make your southern cornbread and sharing it with us....without sugar :-)
@@LeighBrownSpeaker We do have a large collection, mostly inherited and the newer brands. She's not much on the skillets with the short handles. You should try the Victoria brand with the long sweeping handles and is easy to season. Best to get from Amazon if you have Prime and don't have to pay shipping charges. Probably 75% of our meals are cooked in cast iron. My wife teaches cast iron cooking and is writing a cast iron cooking cookbook with simple recipes. She seasons her cast iron with one seasoning in the oven and then fries chicken without flour on it. Wipes it clean and it's ready to cook another day. You should do more cast iron cooking on your channel. You have the personality.
Hey 👋 Leigh TY so much for the great idea 💡!!! Made I guess the yankee version of cornbread 😂😂😂 And it went so good with some chili con carne tonight!!! MMmmmm was it good 👍🏽
Here in the real South, we use plain yellow cornmeal and flour. Baking powder, milk, and little butter in the batter. Butter on a very hot cast iron skillet. Buttermilk if we have it, but never white cornmeal. No flavor.....
I agree, no sugar in cornbread, ever. Also, buttermilk only! However, Martha White Cornmeal Mix and the old Aunt Jemima Mix make good cornbread too, as long as you use the white cornmeal. I feel the white version is more moist. I won't use the woke, renamed version of Aunt Jemima since they caved and insulted the memory of a fine woman. Also, eggs are not needed in good Southern cornbread. Omit the egg(s) and add and additional 2-3 tablespoons of oil or, better yet, bacon grease per egg and discover a superior version of cornbread. BTW, don't forget a pinch or so of salt too.
100% Southern born and bred. Everyone adult I ever knew who fixed cornbread, for holidays, brought it to dinner on the grounds at church, whatever reason, put sugar in the recipe. 100%. It's like Texans "We don't eat beans in chili." I've lived in Texas for 35+ years. Nearly everyone I know who eats chili here.....PUTS BEANS IN THEIR CHILI! Also PUTS SUGAR in their cornbread. (Old myths and legends die hard.)
You were doing fine, pointing out that sugar does NOT belong in southern cornbread. But then you blew it. Eggs?? No. Eggs, like sugar, have no place in true southern cornbread.
I'm sorry, but.....sugar most definitely can go in cornbread. I love a lightly sweetened cornbread. My grandmother didn't make it sweet, but I was fine with it, but I've had it multiple times and enjoy it. I just wish people would stop telling others what does and doesn't go in cornbread. Even southern people eat sweet cornbread.
Hear hear. No sugar. You ma’am earned my subscription.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Cornbread and milk, the best!!!!!
Couldn’t agree more. NO SUGAR IN CORNBREAD!

You are cracking me up! I'm from NW Ga and it's just like being with my own family listen to yall! Thanks! My cornbread came out great!
I am a Midwesterner from Chicago, and while I do love sweet cake-like cornbread, but I can't wait to give southern cornbread a try!
Have you had a chance to try it?
Just finished making this IN my grandma’s cast iron skillet. Came out perfect!
Awesome!!
We always make our cornbread in the cast iron. We also do our pineapple upside down cake in it too... omg, it comes out so much better
ohhh!! pineapple upside-down cake ... Great idea! 😋
Making a pineapple upside down cake in cast iron takes the cake to another level.
@@iamwhoiam4410 It seriously does. I should do one!
I can tell by your accent...You will make it like my mom AKA The Right Way.

Excellent video Lady
Thank you for the sugar PSA

Oh yes! Thank you for your comment. Would love to see your cast iron skillet collect!! 😳

Amen girl! NO SUGAR IN CORNBREAD! BTW I was born and raised in Ohio 😊
Hey 👋 Leigh TY so much for the great idea 💡!!!

MMmmmm was it good 👍🏽
Sounds amazing!
thank you
Thank you sugar doesn't belong in cornbread
Never crack eggs on the side of your bowl…first thing I learned in Home Economics… 65 years ago…
I’m white Lilly too
Amen sister no sugar in cornbread...

@@malibu1966 never ever white cornmeal. I use a 1/4 cup of honey. You right on the no flavor. It comes from the butter and buttermilk 😂
There's no way she talks in her sleep 😘

Sugar in Cornbread is CAKE without icing. I don't like nor put any sugar in mine either
Cornbread in milk is called "crumble-in"
Yankees are Afraid of cornbread And grits!

No offense, but my momaw would have shut you down when you put crisco oil in that skillet instead of lard.
Your Momaw knows best. I bet it is delicious!
what size skillet are you using
Fairly sure it is a 12
You were doing fine, pointing out that sugar does NOT belong in southern cornbread. But then you blew it. Eggs?? No. Eggs, like sugar, have no place in true southern cornbread.

Skip the vegetable oil bad for you. Butter or bacon fat works really well good.
NOT old fashioned! Our parents didn’t have flour in the Great Depression. Not corn meal mix. Plain corn meal. Didn’t have vegetable oil either. Lard.
Your point is well taken! Thank you for sharing - and for tuning in.
so you just made regular cornbread in a skillet... where is the SOUTHERN coming in?
Only problem I have with this is using liquid oil besides big spoonfuls of Crisco.
No sugar in cornbread? yall(emphasis on Yall) must not be from Texas.
You lost me with that oil. Only butter at my house.
"Keep the chat positive" 😂
I watched you for just a few minutes until I decided you're really negative & way too opinionated. Very off-putting.
Buttermilk, yuck.
looks like you are cooking at too high of heat temp thats is a phoney accent like fake news
