Amazing Cornbread Recipe

[@TheROMaNProject]

I am in my mid-70s and am a self-taught, very advanced home cook. To date, I haven’t found even one of your recipes that failed to produce excellent results. And you are a fun teacher to watch, too… you don’t take yourself too seriously and appear to LOVE food as much as I do. Thank you!

[@alexsandra9000]

For those who, like me, kept rewinding to get the quantities right: Combine dry ingredients: 1 1/2 C Corn Meal (255 g), 3/4 C Flour (90 g), 1/4 C sugar (30 g), 2 t Salt (12 g), 2 t Baking powder. Wisk together the wet ingredients: 1 1/2 c warm milk (360 ml), 1/4 c melted butter (56g), 1 egg - room temp.. Combine and gently stir together.

[@carmenpaxton750]

Wow! This is THE BEST cornbread ever!!! The flavor is wonderful, very CORN forward with a hint of sweetness. The textures, crisp on the outside, moist and firm on the inside. I love cornbread & have tried dozens of recipes over the years, this is truly the best! Thanks!!!

[@tamaravargas1]

Good Afternoon John, I am watching your quick and easy cornbread recipe today because I am out of jiffy and its 20 degrees outside. I'm not even sure if the store is open. I've got cornmeal from the food bank. My neighbor invited me over, she made a wonderful soup. Thanks to you, I'm going to bring the cornbread. Aught to be a delicious dinner on such a cold winter day. Thank You So much! You made making cornbread so simple, I'll never need Jiffy again.

As an old Georgia girl, I'm 56. I agree 100 percent with using a cast iron skillet but sugar . My grandmother would come up out of her grave and knock me out If she ever saw me cooking sweet corn bread. Lol. I have had it . But I'll have to stick with my buttermilk cornbread,no sugar. Yours does look delicious I have to admit ❤

[@jerrymartin3965]

Paused the video and went and made it. Very good flavor. I'm a transplant from Louisiana, and cornbread was a staple for me as a kid in the 1960s. My wife is Latina, and we will use this recipe with a Mexican twist with added jalapeños, jack cheese, and roasted corn kernels. Thanks for the perfect balance of flour and cornmeal and the idea of preheating pan. That made all the difference in texture that I have had difficulty with.

[@kathyrama4570]

Gosh, I love Corn Bread. Yes John, Mississippi here, we call sweet corn bread YANKEE CORN BREAD. I even love jam on corn bread. My favorite meal ad a kid was Chilli and Corn Bread. So good. Its really good to cube up butter in small cubes, out in freezer for about 10 minutes or so and add to your batter. So good!!!!

When you add sugar to cornbread, it becomes more of a corn muffin, imo. 😅

[@cindybaggett1576]

Im a lifetime Tennessean & this is nothing like the cornbread I make, lol. No sugar, no flour, just cornmeal, egg, buttermilk and some of the hot grease from skillet is added too, a little water can be added for the right consistency. I’m sure yours is amazing, just so different. As you said, it depends on where you’re from.

[@daliatamimi4063]

Is it good ? Cuz it will be my first time to try, can you give me the recipe? 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@saintbodhisatva]

can you use plain milk instead of buttermilk?

[@cindybaggett1576]

I don’t really use a recipe, I just eyeball it with the cornmeal, buttermilk, egg, etc. It would not be the same if you used regular milk instead of buttermilk.

[@Shadezman76]

@@saintbodhisatvayou can make your own buttermilk, just add a tablespoon of white vinegar to 1 cup of milk. This is how my Mom taught me when she made Irish soda bread and never bought buttermilk. The buttermilk just adds the sour flavor, so make sure you got enough sugar to contrast.

[@DavidOrama-x5o]

I like the answer that you put😂😂😂😂 it's not a cornbread if it ain't got sugar😂

I especially love watching John's videos if it's something I regularly make, like cornbread, because I ALWAYS learn something new to try, add, adjust. In this case it's pouring the batter into a hot pan. Brilliant! Thank you, I can't wait to try that out next time I make some chili and cornbread!

I like to brush mine with honey butter while still in the oven it browns and add gives it a delicious sticky top. I always do this when I make jiffy, too. As soon as it sets enough to brush the honey butter on around 9 minutes or so.

I haven't made cornbread in a while. I used to make sweet potato cornbread and I would also make blue corn cornbread since bluecorn has such a different taste then yellow or white corn. I loved mixing mine with poppy seeds and honey with out using sugar depending on who your feeding. I need to make it again.

I make cornbread often hear in upstate new york, I use a muffin pan and my recipe is similar to yours , I add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the milk, a quick form of butter milk , I also beat my egg with the butter then add it to the milk , it stops the butter from solidifying, talk about having something quick to snack on and it's cheap to make

I just made these. Cornmeal is slightly impossible to get and very expensive here, so I just used polenta which is the same but the grains are bigger. It's good but was missing something. Note to self: Tastes good with nuts and vanilla extract. Should double the sugar. It pairs well with a big spoonful of dulce de leche

[@RamblinRick_]

Rather than adding oil to a skillet and heating it, heat the skillet without oil. Then, melt two tablespoons of butter in the skillet right before adding the batter. Now, you get a crispy, buttery crust.

[@galaxywalker3000]

Thank you for adding the metric measurements 🙏🏻🙏🏻🫶🏻

[@kittymarch8455]

This looks great! One of the things I love to do with cornbread is to use it as a “lid” on chili. Oftentimes there’s not quite enough chili for a second meal, but whipping up a batch of cornbread to throw on top stretches it to a full main dish. Another reason to make cornbread from scratch is that you then have the cornmeal to make cornmeal mush! Also, cornmeal cakes are delicious.

Wow!!! I am gonna make that!!! maybe some diced pimentos and green chilli's diced would be fun???

[@madmh6421]

Yes you are right! This is Yankee corn bread, across between corn bread and sweet cake. Try a mix of white and yellow meal. Bacon grease, well, that's a done deal. Cast iron smoking hot, right on track. Crackling on top, yes or no. Thick in depth, not anything like the sheet pan in thickness as is often served. You nailed that one. Did I hear buttermilk, and baking soda? I sometimes like some hot peppers rings spread on top. Pork chops, pinto beans just a bit soupy to drizzle over the corn bread, fried taters, corn on the cob, fried apples, and greens!!!!! Oh, and you can forget the chops, as there wouldn't be room on the plate and wouldn't be missed, so save them for breakfast. Apple butter, jam, molasses for desert!!!! Just a WV Mountain version, not faulting yours at all! Just wanting to share with others.. Thank-you!!!

[@elizadanu3272]

Our Romanian traditional staple in old times was corn flour cake(made with cornmeal, polenta flour). It's called Alivanca and beats all the other cornmeal sweets I ever tasted, or maybe because it is my country cuisine😅. It has lemon zest, vanilla sugar, butter, sour milk or just milk, sour cream, cottage cheese and some flour and baking powder. We also have salty cornmeal foods. They include sheep cheese, butter, eggs and pork scratchings(more like the whole thing with meat) and sour cream. They were originally eaten by the shepherds and it is traditional meal. That's called bulz.
