I was looking at your site and seen this reciepe. It looks like the kind my grandma made when I was a kid. I was always kicked out the kitchen because I would make a mess when she was cooking. I want to try to make this cornbread. I have a couple questions. Is it 1/4 cup or teaspoon of cooking oil/melted butter? What is cooking oil? I I seen you on the 700 club.

I was raised by a God-fearing, Bible reading Nana who survived the depression. I have been cheerfully frugal all my life and praise the Lord am debt free from those habits taught by Nana. So this frugal business really works. I wanted to note that I use all stone ground corn meal to make cornbread. I use no wheat flour. It is heavier, but really delicious. Also important, I store the stone ground flour either in the frig or freezer for it will spoil if left at rom temperature too long. A small price for such excellence. It is also expensive, but utterly yummy. I found you today via the 700 club. I was raised by a God-fearing, Bible reading Nana who survived the depression.

Cast iron skillets! I think cornbread was given birth in the skillet! lol I add just a touch of sugar to my batter. And it also MArtha White. I live where they have the National Cornbread Cookoff. WE KNOW OUR CORNBREADS!!! lol I still add the oil to my batter too. The hot skillet of oil is just to "fry" your crust . When I know I am about to make some cornbread I put some oil, usually crisco, in the skillet and put on the stove eye to melt it hot. If my stovetop is covered in supper cooking, I put it inthe oven to melt. No big deal. Then by the time the batter is done, I pour it in the skillet. The best skillets are Lodge Cast Iron-also made here where I live. They're sold world wide. Or if you can find a decent priced Grissom in good shape, they are good as well. The best skillet is a used one. A new one you have to season it. I hate doing that! I found you today by the 700 club story!!!! I agree with the lady above. Cast iron skillets!

I was going to put the batter in a 9x13 pan. How does this affect cooking time? As w/ the ingredients, does the baking time double as well?

So despite the heavy snowfall mum and I made a trip down to the grocery store to restock on cornmeal. It was worth it! My batter turned out unexpectedly thick (Hrm. Followed the recipe though) and gloriously yellow. I spooned it into a big muffin tin and turned out 6 glorious, golden-brown, cornbread muffins! Now there's only 1 left as I've gobbled down 3 and my brother ate 2. I'm sure he'll have the last one tonight or for breakfast in the morning. I applaud this recipe, and cornbread in general, for being so easy to make! I am, on average, a failure at baking most things (except for my fave gingerbread cookies). I will definitely have to try a sugar-less version (for my diabetic dad) and also dropped in a smoking-hot, cast iron pan! As soon as I saw this recipe I got a hankering for some corn bread!

I love to cook/bake but never made cornbread, don't know why, just never did. I remembered your recipe and gave it a whirl and hubby gave it a double thumbs up while stuffing his cheeks!

(The recipe is on her website, www.theppk.com.) It's sweetened with a little maple syrup so it's not too sweet. Unfortunately, no one else in the family is a cornbread fan, so I make them in a muffin tin and put them in the freezer. I can eat them one by one that way and not waste anything.

I sometimes use bacon grease in mine if I have some. It's so delicious. I’m from New England and I like my cornbread southern style. I sometimes use bacon grease in mine if I have some.
