Just a note as someone who has helped make a corn maze, the corn isn't planted in the maze design. The corn is planted and then, when it's about 6" tall, the best area in the planting, then cut in the maze by grid. It's tedious and labor intensive. So don't feel bad that your maze didn't turn out exactly as you wanted. 😊

Your bloody butcher corn meal color is spot on. SInce only the outer layer is red and the inside is white it appears to be pinkish blue when ground. The color of cooked corn is 100% dependent on the pH level. Anthocyanin stablitly is related to pH. At lower pH levels it tends to stay red/reddish, higher pH levels will cause it to turn to blue color. I've been growing bloody butcher for 5-6 years now in zone 4 which can be very challenging for a warm season 120 day crop. Always worth the effort when I have 12 - 15 foot tall corn towering over my gargage in a smal St Paul, MN ciy lot. I make mine into beer instead of bread though, haha!

as mentioned in your instagram video, if you dont nixtamalize your corn you are going to lose 95% of all their nutrient value for humans. nixtamalization isnt hard to do especially on a small scale, it requires soaking your corn in an alkaline solution (wood ash is how natives performed the process historically)

@@epichomesteading You can also make baking powder by adding 2 parts cream of tartar to 1 part baking soda when you're adding it to the dry ingredients. Baking powder you buy in the store will use aluminum or cornstarch to keep it dry to prevent the acid and base from reacting. But even so, it has a pretty short shelf life. If you keep baking soda and cream of tartar on hand and separate, they're more shelf stable and no worries about the aluminum.

the also threw an ear of Oaxacan Green Dent in as well, which is going to make green cornmeal anyway. The red in Bloody Butcher is only in the pericarp (the "skin") so a lot of it's going to be left behind during any sifting, particularly when grinding dry. So all your going to have for color is the blue from the Oxacan's aleurone and the blue from the darker Bloody Butcher kernels, plus the yellow from the endosperm. Blue plus yellow equals green.

As a child of the South I found this episode far more amusing than you meant it to be! I have literally never mixed up my cornbread batter with anything but a fork - not even a whisk - so using the KitchenAid was hilariously over the top. I'm from the no-sugar-in-cornbread religion and I don't care for honey on my cornbread either, but if I want a sweet rather than my preferred topping of sausage gravy, I have been known to enjoy it with molasses, especially blackstrap (acquired taste). Another traditional sweet topper is sorghum syrup, which is a lot easier to come by nowadays than it was in my youth.

General rule of thumb in baking: mix all your dry ingredients in one bowl, mix all wet ingredients in another bowl, then combine and only stir enough to moisten all the dry ingredients and all clumps broken up. Insert clean probe and if it comes out cleanly, it's done. If returning to oven to continue cooking, rotate pan 180 degrees. btw, don't eat raw batter made with eggs- risk of salmonella, and there are documented cases of e.coli from raw grains. A couple tablespoons of butter melted into the cast iron pan does make for a nice crust flavor.

FWIW the E coli contamination in commercial grain is from livestock waste in the field that transfers to processing equipment, which is not usually a concern with a home garden situation. Salmonella is also often far more controlled with very fresh unwashed eggs like Kevin has on the homestead than in commercial or farm-washed eggs. As a general rule, your advisement on safety is a good, though. Conventionally produced ingredients pose significant pathogen risks. The specifics of the Epic Homestead situation, however, make the grain and eggs used in their video quite low-risk.

that's not a general rule of baking. people only separate wet and dry ingr when using levening agent, which wasn't the case here, and, people only avoid mixing it, when it has gluten, so that gluten doesn't stiffen up too much, which is also not relevant here, cause corn contains no gluten. as for clean probe, he did that, so only your comment on turning the thing if you put it back, makes sense

For buttermilk, I use Saco dry buttermilk mix. Use the suggested ratio but just put the dry with the dry ingredients and the water with the liquid instead of reconstituting it first. It's actually more like old-fashioned buttermilk than the stuff you can buy now on the milk aisle. Another tip - you can melt all the (unsalted!) butter in the skillet and just pour most of it into the batter. Put in extra so you can leave plenty in the pan, and do a quick swirl of the melted butter on top when you pour if there's enough. My grandmother would use bacon grease, or use a pan she'd just cooked bacon in. Of course that was for cornbread and beans, not dessert.

So I grew on cornbread and first things first, bacon grease tastes better than butter when you're greasing the pan. Also, we just use a fork to mix up our cornbread instead of a stand mixer, we're lazy. And my favorite way to eat cornbread is piping hot in a glass with cold milk poured on top. It's so great and the way my mom and her mom and so forth ate it. My Nanna put full fat buttermilk over hers instead of whole milk but I've never done that. I wish I had the space to grow dent corn so I could make my own cornmeal. My mom grew up eating dent corn instead of sweet corn and insists that sweet corn is inferior to it.

For removing the seeds from the cob I found putting the whole cob inside a bag and then whacking it with a stick maybe the size of a normal tool handle works wonders. You rotate the bag with the cob inside while whacking it repeatedly and after maybe half a minute a cob is completely finished. Spares your fingies and is fun as well. Also spares your tender nerves because I can't pick out the seeds for long before going insane. After seeing your corn deseed so easily that method maybe isn't necessary, but my cobs had the seeds stuck really tight so I had to think of a faster method.

As a southern woman, watching y’all try to make cornbread was more hilarious than I expected! 😂 My families cornbread recipe is as follows: What you’ll need: white cornmeal, buttermilk, mayo, vegetable oil. (If you find yourself mixing sugar into this mixture, you’ve gone wrong somewhere. Throw that out and start over!) Mix the cornmeal, buttermilk and mayo in a bowl with a spoon just until all ingredients are incorporated. You want the batter to be thick, almost like a cookie dough. If it’s too runny, add more cornmeal. If it’s too thick to stir, add more buttermilk. Only add one heaping spoonful of mayo, no more. Pour like 1/4 inch of oil into your cold cast iron, then the cornbread batter mix. Even the top out and make sure the batter reaches to the sides. Using your spoon, pull oil from the sides up and over the top of the cornbread batter. Put in the oven at 425 until you can stick a fork in and nothing sticks or until the top is a beautiful golden brown. Put a plate on top of the cast iron and flip the pan over to reveal the beautiful, almost-fried bottom which now becomes your top. Slice into triangles, maybe put some butter in the middle of your slice if that’s your thing. It’s delicious enough to eat by itself.

I have that mill and I grow that corn (and also the mostly indistinguishable Jimmy Red). The size of the corn is at the upper limit of what that grain mill will handle, which is the unstated reason for having to work the grains in the top. The settings on the mill do less to change the texture of the final product than one might imagine. I do find the corn to be on the bitter side, but a small amount of sugar in the cornbread will address that. The only part of the corn that is red is the hull, so the meal is white to pink with red flecks in it. I find that the interior of my cornbread (and hush puppies!) is pink speckled to brown if I don't add wheat flour, but when I do add wheat flour it's brown. Of course, that could be because my wheat flour is whole wheat flour from hard red wheat I also grew myself and ground in that same mill and everything baked with it is brown! Oh, on the corncobs... I'm currently growing some oyster mushrooms on a few old corncobs I had laying around. Next year I may do the same with stalks.

You guys had me laughing out loud! Also, I have never made cornbread in a stand mixer. 😂 You can just whisk it in a bowl and you don't want to overmix it. Much like muffins. You guys play off each other so well. Always a treat to watch!

Perhaps you're comparing the flavor to nixtamalized corn. You should do it anyway to make it healthier

Consider the nixtamalization process its suppose to increase the nutrient value, taste and perhaps make milling easier. It may prevent you from getting pellagra disease if you wish to continue to eat your own grains.

Pellagra disease? It's not like the only thing they're going to be eating is corn...lol Unless there is something in non nixtamalized corn that I'm unaware of that inhibits the absorption of nutrients, that seems extremely unlikely.

a pretty wild guess, but the greenish tint might be indication of oxidation. How far fetched would it be to think that some mineral compound reacted with air at some point in the process. Maybe when baking?

Maybe do some nixtamalization before grounding the corn and making a dough out of it? Heard, that it´s better digestible, healthy and makes a stronger dough with good binding. Like they are doing it in Mexico, when making tortillas.

Interesting how it turned green from the little bit of green corn you put in. How old is your baking soda? I know that plain Irish soda bread can have a slightly green color, and older baking soda will turn carrots green in a carrot cake. Science is cool.

Corn silk tea you had a little Cinemark in a little bit of honey, and it taste better. But it is really good for like bladder issues that helps with pain of the mucous membranes which is that area. So try to get in with a little bit of cinnamon bark and some honey if she needs to try it again or you can try it! It’s got good medicinal properties.

Cornbread like this is really good with roast chicken and some greens (kale, collards, whatever) because it soaks up all the liquids and tastes AMAZING! Also look into cornbread with buttermilk instead of milk & vinegar. Much better, in my opinion.

Did you guys never do that pH test using purple cabbage juice in highschool? Certain plant pigments react to a change in pH by changing color. Pretty sure the scant amount of pigment in the oxblood corn is reacting

No one’s gonna talk about how the corn was red, the meal was vaguely like purple and then it bakes up concerningly green. Either there was some sort of chemical reaction or it’s one of those weird structural molecules can shift between multiple colors idk definitely not what I’d have expected
