Welcome ❤️❤️❤️

Kathy, Here in SE Ohio, we grew up eating fried mush which is cooked cornmeal that you let get cold and set up then you slice off pieces and fry it. So good!! ❤

[@kathyssouthernkitchen302]

Yum!

[@pamelaulrich8615]

I am in South central Indiana and I grew up on mush...lots of butter and syrup

[@theUrbanJoe]

You nailed it! This stuff is the best.

[@bluu_ice6554]

Oh wow that cornbread looks divine

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

I love Lacey cornbread ❤❤

[@bjohnson1149]

Kathy, would you consider doing a video showing how to make caramel apples (the easy way!)? I want to try some for my grandchildren but all the recipes I've found are so complicated. I'm a shortcut kind of girl.

[@kathyssouthernkitchen302]

I’ll see if I can find a good one❤️

[@paylaw6012]

Kathy, you are such a gift to all of us and especially to all of us in the Wiregrass, whose mothers and grandmothers cooked this way. All we need is some blackeyed peas ! Thank you so much !!

[@kathyssouthernkitchen302]

Thank you so much! We've got to keep these traditions alive❤️❤️❤️

[@gabireljohnson3960]

I am amazed at the different variations of this wonderful staple that I grew up enjoying. My parents were from Alabama and Arkansas, but we made what my Mom called "hot water corncakes". The cornmeal is partially cooked with boiling water, made into a stiff dough, and formed into patties about 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick. I still make these regularly and am eager to try your method. I think they are all good, similar but different. I read all sorts of recipes, some using baking powder, etc. Just cornmeal, salt, and water is the best. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to more of your videos. Tom in Texas

[@kathyssouthernkitchen302]

Wow!!!! I've heard of those, but have never had them! Thanks for sharing

[@bjohnson1149]

As a child, my mama made lacy cornbread and I dipped them in ketchup. Delicious!

[@kathyssouthernkitchen302]

Yum!!!!

[@bjohnson1149]

@@kathyssouthernkitchen302 thank you for this clear demonstration/recipe. Mine never turns out. I think it's because I'm not using a fine cornmeal. Got to look for some. I'm assuming it's not self-rising like a cornmeal mix.

[@mimiscountrycooking1607]

Never thought about dipping it in ketchup but sounds yummy ❤

[@mimiscountrycooking1607]

I haven’t thought about this recipe in a while my grandmother used to make the best Lacey cornbread it was so good with butter
Thanks for sharing ❤

[@TravelHungryForLife]

Awesome recipe sharing here these look yummy
Great channel see you soon enjoy the weekend 👍🏻👍🏻

[@wendylewis1435]

Different recipes say you need to use really cold water and others say you need to use really hot water for the fried cornbread, do you use one for the Lacy ??

[@kathyssouthernkitchen302]

I just use room temp water. If anything, cold❤️

[@debbieanne860]

Can you cook them a little darker?

[@kathyssouthernkitchen302]

You sure can

[@kathymyers3093]

Yum 😋 I will make this😊

[@user-pw3ct2rj7l]

I'm surprised you don't use white lily

[@kathyssouthernkitchen302]

I do use white Lily flower. But they don't make cornmeal in extra fine❤️

[@user-pw3ct2rj7l]

I live in Florida and have a hard time finding white lily Walmart is now starting to carry it

[@loraleighdoxin]

Have lived in Alabama my whole life. Never had a restaurant serve fried cornbread as a complimentary bread on the table and I have been to many meat and threes. Nor have I ever seen extra fine cornmeal sold in stores.

[@kathyssouthernkitchen302]

Bless your sweet little ❤️. You need to come to Dothan! Zack's, Charlotte's Kitchen, The Blue Plate, MeMe’s Kitchen and so many more serve fried bread with your meal. It's a staple in our area❤️

[@tgpeterman1]

All the country cooking establishments serve fried cornbread in baskets prior to the meal. It’s like an appetizer here. We are fortunate that several grocery stores sell the extra fine cornmeal from local mills. I have friends who have moved away ask me to send them cornmeal. I live in southeast Alabama 😊

[@kathyssouthernkitchen302]

Yes!!!! We're so blessed to live in this area❤️

[@jw77019]

You must be from the hillbilly, rocky, crude part of the state where they call creamed corn fried corn.

[@kathyssouthernkitchen302]

@jw77019 bless your heart. Call it whatever you want to call it. It's delightful. Blessings❤️
