Coarse ground is breakfast cornbread. Good with sausage and eggs (and maybe some sausage gravy). Fine ground is for dinner cornbread, with plenty of butter and maybe some blueberry jam if you're feeling frisky. Yankee cornbread is great with chili or some corned beef and cabbage.

I'm from Tennessee and didn't grow up with sweet cornbread either. But I found out recently that this tends to be highly tied to race, weirdly enough. Most of the people who grew up in the south with sweet cornbread are black, where most of the non-sweet cornbread families are white. Waaaaay back in the day, more processed and less sweet corn was more expensive, so it was usually only white families that had access to it.

I live in Georgia I have one cast iron skillet devoted just to my cornbread

[@TGNXAR]

Just one? ;)

[@mattvoisard1289]

One just for cornbread I have about 14 cast iron skillets

[@devonwilson8306]

Arkansas here. My mom has made it very clear if anyone ever uses The Cornbread Skillet for anything other than cornbread they will be hit with The Cornbread Skillet.

His Intros are so insanely 🔥🔥🔥

[@keksidy]

When you love cornbread so much that you have to show everyone how to make it 12 times

[@TheCadillacMack]

As a "true" Southerner I made sweet cornbread by mistake, by mixing Jiffy Cornbread and Jiffy Cake mix together. And if you don't know what Jiffy is, well....

[@lbeatles53]

The second way with the thinner batter is exactly how my mom makes it!!!! (Alabama)

[@Mel-me9sw]

That's the right way, let me go over there, we can trade recipes ☺

Amen to that brother

[@kelnhide]

That is the way

Speaking of the meaning of life, this recipe is trending #42.

From Alabama... nothing beats cornbread with sausage gravy with a couple biscuits. Best meal for any time of day.

[@jazwhoaskedforthis]

This was uploaded just in time, I've been trying to find a cornbread recipe I like

[@TeaTime97]

My mom always had cornbread by putting it in a bowl while hot out the oven with just enough milk for it to soak and pouring sugar over the top. It's so good.

[@thelonepigeon6237]

“One stick with of melted butter that we have allowed to cool completely” I let it cool completely, it’s no longer a liquid

Me: *clicks on video* *stares in southerner*

[@skeletorbishop7470]

That's what i was thinking too lmao

[@im_still_here8726]

Me usually: there is no "right" way to make food, it's just whatever tastes good! Also me: *sees a cornbread video*"he's not gonna do it right"

[@d3athrowgam3r]

Just cuz he white

[@LilDinoGuy]

As someone who grew up with a dirt-poor southern mom, this style of corn bread has always bewildered me. We had savory deep-fried patties of dough.

[@Tina_Bo_Binaaa]

Babish just tried this today, with adding some cream style corn and thyme and bitters to my wet ingredients and it was a hit. Didn’t even need the butter. Thanks for the great recipe. And greetings from 🇹🇹

[@avgnfandon2]

Moral of the story: Babish knows his THICC-ness.

An Idea for basics episode:Cheesecake

[@jimfeldman4035]

Cooks Illustrated has a KILLER cheesecake. I don't have the details handy, but table stakes are 2.5 lb's of cream cheese, 6 whole eggs+2yolks, a little sour cream, lemon juice, sugar, vanilla. It's a monster and will easily try to escape a 9 inch springform. Starts with a super hot oven which you then let back off. Texture is a little bit fluffier than the ultra dense NYC style. I wish I had more cheesecake buds since I can only have a small slice and it is effing amazing. Choco grahms pulsed with butter and baked in the pan before you add the batter are a nice add in.

[@Beanhill_94]

When I was young I read Gone with the Wind which had cornpone or corn bread. I really thought it was white bread with corn kernels in it.

[@ramblesash7995]

The way my momma makes it, it's not so much of bread but almost a souffle. She adds cream of corn so the bread is moist and fluffy, so good and the pieces of corn make it even better

[@katcarson3710]

I’ve never commented but felt the need. Heating your skillet first may be the most important step when making southern style cornbread. So yes, my mom and her mom WOULD be proud.

[@cocosam96]

If he made a cornbread with actual whole pieces of corn in it I was gonna scream....that's my limit for cornbread, anything else is fine. Good job Babby

[@industrialgoose4756]

Wait have you ever tried it like that though? Its crazy good. Super moist, with a really nice bite of sweetness to it. I honestly cant have regular cornbread anymore after trying it like that.

[@cocosam96]

@@industrialgoose4756 Oh yes I have. I hate it - I'm ready to enjoy some delicious cornbread only to find unexpected lumps ruin my bread

[@industrialgoose4756]

@@cocosam96 Okay lol, I can see why that might be weird for someone, especially if it was a surprise lol.

I'm gonna put strawberries in it just to give you nightmares

[@Aldo_raines]

My Memaw always used white cornmeal. She also always put the pan in the oven. This yankee, who I love, shows his stripes. My mom would also add creamed corn and pickled jalapeños, which won an award at my 4th grade potluck. Thank you Peach Tree cookbook.

[@thomasschmidt1836]

I usually make mine with a can of creamed corn, diced fresh jalapenos and shredded cheese in the batter. brushing the top liberally with butter after it comes out of the oven and again about 5 minutes later as it sits on a cooling rack. Excellent side with chili (red or green) or anything else

[@purpleduck02]

Yes! Last week I had a huge craving for cornbread. You didn’t have one so I ended up making a Cat Cora recipe. It was good but I’m so excited to see one from you. I still have buttermilk so I’m definitely trying this!

[@blackduncan9812]

Not gonna lie to you Babish half of us make it like that the other half just dresses up jiffy 😂😂😂😂

[@ToxicNeon]

I'm from the south, and your first recipe really captured classic cornbread. My uncle really likes sweet cornbread, so i do eat it now and again, but i much prefer the regular cornbread over the sweet. Regular cornbread just goes with most things i think, whereas sweet cornbread is really good for a few meals.

[@shanetaylor9288]

This has to be one my favorite episodes of Basics. I’m gonna make everything in this video
