Musical Cornbread (3 Viewers)

I make my great aunt's recipe. It's not sweet at all. We'd often eat it like a cereal. Cut a wedge and throw it in a bowl, break it up, sprinkle a touch of sugar if you want, and add milk (or coffee-milk). One of the best things ever! We did it for breakfast or Sunday evening meals. Took years for the family to get the recipe right, because when she shared it, a table spoon was really a big serving spoon and a cup was a coffee cup. My cousin had to sit down with her and have her dump the ingredients in a separate bowl so she could measure with regular measuring incremented devices.

That cornbread and my grandma's couche-couche are two great memories from when I was a kid!

Not if they are from a jar.

I had thought about that, but my concern is I've no idea how spicy the chili's will be. Could wind up with hot on hot and I'd rather make a honey butter and let em decide. Might consider some red pepper or cayenne for a bit of background heat to surprise em and they can add as desired.

If I can find some fresh Fresno peppers, I might experiment as those are superior imo.

i want to try pickling my own jalapenos. it can't be that difficult, right?

It’s not difficult at all. I would suggest doing it in the garage or outside. The vinegar produces a pretty powerful smell.

If done well it can be awesome. One of the best bites of food I've ever had was a pickled cherry at August. Near perfect.

I'm quite certain it was a quick pickle. It wasn't all mushy like those jarred abominations. I've never looked for a recipe tho. Kind of like Curly from City Slickers talking about the woman he admired and realized would never be better than that moment.

Pumpkin spice frosted cornbread? Might as well just dump a pumpkin latte in the batter.

I was just joshin'

I specifically use Jiffy to make sweet cornbread. I add some cinnamon to the mix and top it with some brown sugar and make a honey butter for it. It's pretty damn good.

That sounds really good, kind of like coffee cake.

@Tapxe needs to change the title of the thread to Musical Cornbread, you know, to be more descriptive.

I'm sorry, this made me LMAO. Maybe it was a mistake? I couldn't find which post it was on.
