However you want to enjoy it, a few simple tricks will keep your crumb light and and your crusts crunchy, no matter upon which side of the Mason Dixon Line you lie.

I remember the first time my Yankee aunt tried southern corn bread. She hated it and said we put all our sugar in the tea and had none left for the cornbread
Haskie 😂 I like your aunt!
Unpopular opinion, sweet tea sucks. Tastes like sweaty gym socks.
@@assordante2205 it ain't unpopular at all. I am from Russia, though, but in here I don't know anyone who drinks tea with sugar, because everybody knows it's shit, awfull shit.
Jew Potato sweet tea, bitter coffee.
I use sugar in neither iced tea nor cornbread. Raised in Texas, by a Texas-raised woman.

For a Yankee.

Yeah, the truth is that every family has their own cornbread recipe. The real test though is southern style biscuits
sj4iy truth
@Peter Jan recipe with the coarse cornmeal is 10x better tbh unless you like cakey fluffy cornbread. then youre a real yankee
As a southern boy who's had cornbread more times than double the years I've been alive, I am so happy you showed both varieties of southern style cornbread. I was raised on the delicate, cake like version (with some additives like onion, bacon, jalapeno, etc.) and I have found few things in life that tastes better.
More times than double the years you’ve been alive? That’s once every six months mate. You need to crank those numbers up!
Why did you phrase this like a math problem
So you rarely ate corn bread.
Me, lives on the West Coast and has never had cornbread: “ah yes, the grind size effects the texture yes mhm”
For the love of all things holy, treat yourself.
This is my exact reaction when I watch most of Babish's videos lol
You dont know what your missing
Cornbread is great.
I thought cornbread was quite popular on the west coast?

When he made the first Southern cornbread I was definitely side-eyeing him pretty hard. His second Southern cornbread was spot-on perfect for what I grew up eating.
Agreed! It's pretty close to what I grew up with, but my fam makes it with butter, not lard, and fluffier.

In Romania we call it 'mălai' and we eat it with sausages and fried sour cabbage or fried pork. For sure it will pass 'clean plate' test.
Interesting, how does sour cabbage taste
@@ef-19tornado20 well sour, obviously
That sounds great
Coarse ground is breakfast cornbread. Good with sausage and eggs (and maybe some sausage gravy). Fine ground is for dinner cornbread, with plenty of butter and maybe some blueberry jam if you're feeling frisky.
Yankee cornbread is great with chili or some corned beef and cabbage.
As a southern, I'm gonna have to say that cornbread, whether is savory or sweet, is the best.
As a northerner I agree :)
Cooooorrrreeeecccctttt
As an east coast boi I can also agree! I LOVE sweet cornbread but savory is also good with a real good Chicken and Dumplin’s

You pulled out that cast iron skillet and my husband asked me why I was nodding at my phone so somberly.
amy, ur a real one
Do you know what "somberly" means?
@@Gobbersmack i feel like everyone talking about the cast iron pan is just referencing how much time it takes to keep a cast iron skillet in your kitchen. Those things can work for generations, but they also need a lot of TLC and care thats different from a normal pan (also heard their expensive, but correct me if im wrong)
@@RealmSprinter What is this care everyone is speaking of? Just keep the damn thing oiled, and you're good. I got one because unlike non-stick pans, cast iron is roommate proof.
@@RealmSprinter no more expensive than a pan with a non stick coating, much easier to use, and much more versatile.
As for cleaning it, I just scrape it clean under running water, heat it back up to make sure it's fully dried out, oil it while it's still hot, and wipe off the excess with a paper towel when it's cooled.

I love how you show how one food item is cooked differently based on the region. You could make a whole sub series of this on Basics.
I think he might have gotten tired of people from different regions complaining in the comments anytime he makes something from their respective hometown
If he does one on BBQ, the second Civil War will break out between Texas, Memphis, KC and Carolina. The only thing we agree on is that Brooklyn style BBQ is not BBQ. I am obviously from KC so there we go although that stuff about a sweet sauce is bullcrap. My favorite sauce is thinner and has some kick.

Not-sweet cornbread tastes like cattle feed
I like how your recipes are exactly how they should be/originally were(at least what it seeks to be). Ive been looking for an old fashioned recipe and found this
As someone who's roots run deep into the South, I am very impressed. Thank you for showing how to make cornbread the right way.
" Their effects on the batter... and *YOU* "
Like an arrow straight into my soul.
Babs: "Now on to the sweet version of this cornbread, we need 1kg of cheddar cheese.... "
Me: "wait what?"
Everyone knows that the best accompaniment to Southern cornbread is chili.
And a little bit of syrup
The fact you got Southern cornbread right impresses me to no end.
Moral of the story: Babish knows his THICC-ness.

I’m pretty sure no one south of the Mason-Dixon Line takes their cornbread out of the skillet lol 😂
Agreed. The only kind that comes out of the skillet is the kind you FRY in the skillet in little cakes, like my grandmother.
@@yogawarriorgirl We do. but only because we have to use the skillet later to make more fresh cornbread and the now day old cornbread is soaked in buttermilk and eaten like cake
But you have to clean the skillet so you can make new cornbread while eating the old cornbread
It is both the cooking vessel and serving dish. Will store nicely on to the stove covered for a couple days.
If it lasts that long.

Amen to that brother

this was amazing !! my wife and i loved it, i made the brown butter version, half jalapeño. this video truly helped me. thanks !
OMG this is the first time I watch a Babs episode with headset on. His soft spoken words of wisdom sound even better when right next to your ears. Trust me
How does he and his friend eat all this. He must have a LOT of friends
i have 3
i mean, he must have, he makes a lot of good food, ofc he has many friends :P
when babish invites you to eat what he prepared you can't say no
What I really want to know is what all did they make to go along with 4 skillets of cornbread.
@@AJ-nh8ik probably more cornbread

cornbread muffins alongside some good homemade chilli, magical!
at the risk of being burned at the stake, open that muffin up and pour chili over the top
With chopped green onions if you boujie.
I work at a restaurant in Georgia and my boss made cornbread using bacon fat as opposed to lard for a weekend special, and it was damn near the best food I've ever eaten in my life.
Also, dry and crumbly cornbread is served best with a glass of milk and honey butter. That's where it shines.
This has to be one my favorite episodes of Basics. I’m gonna make everything in this video
Thanks, I’m from south Alabama and this reminds me exactly how my great grandmother made cornbread
Guess I'm making a shit ton of cornbread this weekend.
_Happy Holidays!_
When you’re from the south but confused when he says “Southern cornbread can’t be made without lard”
.....what are you using?
Personally, I keep bacon fat in the fridge just for cornbread.
Crisco will work in a pinch, but it's not the same.
dave plays games 03 same, we usually use shortening. And we only use cornmeal, flour, and water
dave plays games 03 No one in all my family throughout Tennessee makes cornbread with yellow cornmeal or lard. And we finish your cornbread under the broiler to get the crispy exterior...
Same. We never use lard in our food.
I think I’ve had actual lard once and that’s when my grandparents were still alive and could cook.
This was uploaded just in time, I've been trying to find a cornbread recipe I like
As a "true" Southerner I made sweet cornbread by mistake, by mixing Jiffy Cornbread and Jiffy Cake mix together. And if you don't know what Jiffy is, well....
I live in the south, Georgia specifically, and I’ve never had sweet cornbread. It looks really good though. Every family I know that makes cornbread typically keep it in the iron skillet to cool and cut/serve. Not sure why but we do lol.
I like both varieties of cornbread. Not sure why some people hate on the type of cornbread they didn't grow up with, it's all still cornbread no matter what techniques are used
I also live in Georgia and I was sitting here like “SWEET CORNBREAD WHAT THE HECK?!!” And now I want to try it. Lol.
Its not supposed to have a strong sweetness taste, but a light, subtle sweetness. With butter and a bit of salt, its hits home well.
Alabama here. I've had both. Traditionally it's not sweet, but sweet cornbread can be good. Hell my passed-down-through-generations cornbread has a small amount of flour in it. Also I've never seen the whole thing out of the cast iron.
I'm from Tennessee and didn't grow up with sweet cornbread either. But I found out recently that this tends to be highly tied to race, weirdly enough. Most of the people who grew up in the south with sweet cornbread are black, where most of the non-sweet cornbread families are white. Waaaaay back in the day, more processed and less sweet corn was more expensive, so it was usually only white families that had access to it. I was super surprised to learn about this, but it makes sense.

@@blackops555 that would've been EPIC. Especially if he would've included "He still ain't get my cornbread "
I can't believe I HEARD this comment and the fear of god was put into me
Southern style cornbread is one of my favorite food groups so this whole video had my mouth watering.
Since I like my cornbread sweeter I put a bit of honey in my cornbread batter to go along with my honey butter in the usual Southern recipe. Grew up with it whenever I went over to a friend's house and loved it so much that I asked their mom how she made hers and she actually taught me how to do it instead of just giving me a recipe card or something. I miss her.
Not gonna lie, I was raised southern and we made something half between these.
im from ga and yeah the same..not jiffy sweet{eww} but definitely not that the crunchy looking southern version babish made.
me too it has the texture of the first recipe but is still sweet
Britt Parker That's because y'all could get sugar a lot cheaper down there, where it could grow. Us up in the Carolinas didn't use sugar, because we weren't rich.
That said, don't tell my mother-in-law, but I use a little sugar on occasion.
I live in Georgia I have one cast iron skillet devoted just to my cornbread
Just one? ;)
One just for cornbread I have about 14 cast iron skillets
Arkansas here. My mom has made it very clear if anyone ever uses The Cornbread Skillet for anything other than cornbread they will be hit with The Cornbread Skillet.
I made this and my family loved it. It’s not as sweet as the more cakey store bought cornbread, something my dad really liked.
When you love cornbread so much that you have to show everyone how to make it 12 times
“One stick with of melted butter that we have allowed to cool completely”
I let it cool completely, it’s no longer a liquid
God bless Babish for pulling out the “so it don’t” for the cornbread episode. The southern melody, that is.
As someone who grew up with a dirt-poor southern mom, this style of corn bread has always bewildered me. We had savory deep-fried patties of dough.
The way my momma makes it, it's not so much of bread but almost a souffle. She adds cream of corn so the bread is moist and fluffy, so good and the pieces of corn make it even better
The second way with the thinner batter is exactly how my mom makes it!!!! (Alabama)
That's the right way, let me go over there, we can trade recipes ☺

@dick trickle Yeah, lets go with that
My grandma makes individual small “paddies” of corn bread and I think that this version is the best version of corn bread
A cornbread equivalent to tiny pancakes? Fuck yes
Thats how we actually make cornbread in the south. We just have the northerners fooled so they don't know our secrets.
Are we talking about the little fried cornbread fritters? The ones you actually cook on the stove? Because if so, make the batter up to the second recipe he gave, then cook it in a little oil on the stove in (preferable but not 150% necessary, but still necessary) an iron skillet. The same way you'd cook pancakes. When it starts to bubble, flip it.
Hoecakes are boss. My grandma made hers in the skillet on the stovetop and they were like in between a hoecake and a full pan. Nothing will ever taste as good as that did when I was five.
@@astcastle my granny calls them "Hot water cornbread" even though it's cooked in lard/oil
From Alabama... nothing beats cornbread with sausage gravy with a couple biscuits. Best meal for any time of day.
I've made bacon jalapeno cornbread before. It's amazing. Very similar recipe, just cook the bacon and pour the cornbread mix in the cast iron with the bacon grease. Tasty
"Honey butter" is the new "cellar door."
His Intros are so insanely 🔥🔥🔥
If he made a cornbread with actual whole pieces of corn in it I was gonna scream....that's my limit for cornbread, anything else is fine. Good job Babby
Wait have you ever tried it like that though? Its crazy good. Super moist, with a really nice bite of sweetness to it. I honestly cant have regular cornbread anymore after trying it like that.
@@industrialgoose4756 Oh yes I have. I hate it - I'm ready to enjoy some delicious cornbread only to find unexpected lumps ruin my bread
