Old Time Cracklin Cornbread

[@darrellspraggins7966]

Looks delicious! A former boss I had told me that his 96-year-old mother has always used lard to fry her meats etc. She also has always used real butter on her biscuits, grits, etc. I guess all that fat isn't such a bad thing. I know that everything tastes better with lard and butter. I look forward to your videos. They always relax me and make me forget my problems. Thanks!

[@lindahouser9814]

So true, not everything is bad for you

[@danhawe6033]

I really like the longer videos showing the whole process of cooking instructions. So helpful. Thanks🙂

[@lindahouser9814]

Glad you like them!

Add your eggs

You know you got me off of my ass yesterday, when I saw you outside burning bush, I decided to do the same, it really helped me to pull myself together, there is nothing, absolutely nothing like getting out and touching grass.

[@lindahouser9814]

Awesome

[@collenrose3957]

Oh my gosh...you had my mouth watering for a bite! Yummers! Have a blessed sabbath 🌈💚🙏💚🌈

[@lindahouser9814]

Thank you! You too!

[@tennesassy2]

love me some cracklin cornbread and this video is a PERFECT example of using what you got!! I was glad to see this video this morning. YUM. I made homemade biscuit dough and added shredded colby-jack cheese and ground up some bacon I had fried and baked them off. Wasn't no cracklin cornbread but they were yummy! Hope your day is going well and thanks for another GREAT video! Looks yummy!

[@lindahouser9814]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@maryjordan7285]

I really enjoyed your video. You did an awesome job. I love crackling corn bread and cracklings is hard to find sometimes around here in Georgia. That is a great idea with the bacon . Thank you for sharing 😊

[@lindahouser9814]

Thank you so much!

[@craig9843]

Linda, I accept anyway you do your videos. I’ll never complain. I enjoy them so.

That looked so good! I need to render up some bacon ends! Haven't done it in a while. I buy the packages of bacon ends and pieces, chop the whole thing up, throw it my crock-pot and render it out. Save the rendered fat for cooking and seasoning and the bacon cracklin's for adding to beans, cornbread, drop biscuits, etc. I always look for the fattiest packages of ends and pieces. 3 lbs of chopped bacon ends and pieces, 6.5 hours in the crockpot on high, renders down to 2 cups of bacon fat and about 3 cups by volume (15 oz by weight), of bacon cracklins. Doing it in the crockpot makes it so easy and worry free...no concerns about it burning, no need to constantly monitor it...just a good stir about once every hour to hour and a half. Once it has rendered a good deal of fat and juices, and the bits are beginning to brown up, I put a double thickness of paper towels across the top of the crock and put the lid over them to hold them in place. This absorbs the steam and keeps it from condensing and dripping back into the rendering fat...water in the rendered fat will cause it to go bad real quick. When properly rendered, the rendered fat and the cracklin's keep a long time in the refrigerator.

[@lindahouser9814]

How awesome you do that. Never thought about doing that. Thanks

[@craftyazshabbyshacjude3297]

Nice Job despite the little hiccup, cast iron holds it heat for a little while. Will try it. Thank you, Mama Linda love it. Sending Blessings x

You are so welcome

[@dianamarie1652]

Wow that looks so good! First time I heard of cracklings, I want to try any make them just to eat, hate pork rinds from the store. Thanks Linda 💖

[@lindahouser9814]

Cracklins are better and don't worry about breaking a tooth

[@tomhettrick7813]

Another fantastic video and boy that looks delicious I'll be trying my hand at some of that real soon👍👍🙏

My Aunt Carolyn use to make the best crackling. cornbread she was a good. cook I miss her she passed a few yrs back ty for sharing God Bless

[@lindahouser9814]

Thanks for watching

[@connieruff63]

I love cracklins, but they are hard to find. So many stores call them cracklins with the skins attached. I like to lay them in the bottom of my skillet and pour my cornbread mixture over it and bake. Yum I never use eggs in my cornbread, can’t tell the difference. Your cornbread would have let loose if you’d baked just a little longer for more of a crust. I’ve used bacon grease in my cornbread but what you made had to be delicious. Had to be better than cracklins cornbread. I’ve had sausage cornbread that’s good but never bacon. But I will now. Can’t believe I never thought of that. Thanks. 😊 I enjoy your videos.

My mother always made cracklings corn bread. She didn’t put the corn and jalapeños . She made Mexican cornbread, it was so good. Didn’t put cracklings in it , just corn, cheese, and jalapeños. This looks good I’m going to try it!
