Mama's cornbread recipe

[Mnt monkey]

This could be one of the most important life changing post ever on modern muzzleloader!
One cup of white cornmeal
A cup and a half of yellow corn meal
One cup of flour
Two and a half tablespoons of sugar
Three tablespoons of baking powder
One tablespoon of baking soda
3/4 tablespoon of salt
Two eggs beaten
Two cups of buttermilk

9x13pan smear pan with oil coating,,bake 20 minutes at 425 degree's

You can always add a cup of chopped jalapenos and cilantro and a can of creamed corn when I do that I add just a little bit more milk sometimes and sometimes a third egg, I don't go by the 20 minutes always I just keep an eye on the cornbread turning the light gold on the top.

Sounds amazing espescially with jalapeños. But Im iin a small group of people who think that cilantro is nasty, poisonous, and should never, ever be put in anything except the trash.

Try it without the cilantro, just try the basic recipe,,, cilantro is kind of weird stuff isn't it,

 

[Mnt monkey]

Left out something half a cup of vegetable oil

 

[Mnt monkey]

Do make sure everything is mixed well!!

Growing up in West Virginia as a kid my mom would fix cornbread,fried potatoes,and pinto beans for supper almost every meal.To this day at 71 yrs,I still fix that about twice a week for myself.If any corn bread is left over,I crumble it up in a bowl and pour milk over it.Time to go hit the kitchen.

Half of cup of melted bacon grease will make it even better.

The bacon or ham went into the beans.Nothing better under the sun.

Putting in the cilantro.... you might as well put in a handfull of dirt, it would taste the same! Love the bacon grease but would rather see the batter poured in a very hot cast oron skillet and listen to the sizzle as you"re pouring it!
Don't ask me why I weigh just a tad over 300lbs!!!

 

[MeatMachine]

That’s the way I cook mine. Cast iron for everything including pizza.

Sounds great, Mnt monkey- thanks for sharing!

I LOVE cilantro! It’s great to go places in the Southwest, when it’s available as a condiment.

When I was first introduced to cilantro, I didn’t care for it. Then, I realized that it is delicious!

If any of you cilantro-haters ever change your mind, let me know.

Maybe I’ll send you a button, to commemorate the change!

I used to really hate the stuff but in the past couple of years have goten used to the taste and now it's not quite so bad. Maybe I will grow to like it! We'll see!!!

If you ever do one of those DNA tests one of the things they report on is "Dislike of Cilantro" -- Apparently, it is genetic as to wether you like or not -- go figure. I love the stuff. Rank it right up there with butter, salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder...

Cilantro grows very well in Oklahoma in just any old pot. It really tastes much better if you cut it fresh as you need it. The grocery store stuff can go off quickly and taste like swamp slime.

In Southeast Texas tex-mex is put in a baby's bottle,, cilantro is just one of those ingredients.

 

[4stringdude]

My dislike of cilantro is because it tastes like soap to me. So does coriander, which is the seed of the cilantro plant. I believe the taste factor may be genetic. I can take either in small amounts. However, when people load their pico or salsa up with it, I'm out. I know people who love cilantro so much they will make it into a pesto. That is way too much for me.

Thats bc - everything, is better with bacon or bacon grease.

I don't have any hang-ups with cilantro, but I'd never want it in my cornbread.
