      Greetings Chef John,
      My husband wants a spoon bread that has a crunchy top but soft in the center.
      Do you have a recipe?
      I had one many years ago & now I can't find it.
      Thank you for all your awesome recipes. My husband is DAV Navy & will be 80 years old April 1st & I'd like to surprise him with this dish and an assortment of preserves along side
      He always loved my cheese souffle's with preserves on the side too.
      I love your recipes❣🙋‍♀️

    For years and years I've used my Grandmother's southern recipe and been happy. UNTIL NOW. WOW thanks Chef! What a beautiful cornbread this is. The crust was cooked perfectly and had a very delicious buttery flavor. This was so light and fluffy. This is my new go to. I paired it with my hearty hamburger soup tonight and it went wonderfully.
    Thanks Chef John.

    I am from the south and we usually don't put sweetener in our cornbread especially if we are going to use it for dinner but this looks soo good! I have a cast iron skillet that is only for cornbread. I make a pawn for me and the kids and make the sweeter version for my husband as muffins since he doesn't like the cornbread I make with no sugar. It is always a fun debate at our house about the different versions of cornbread!

  • @cynthiaslater7445
    @cynthiaslater7445 6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Cornbread is whatever your imagination wants it to be. I have had so many versions of it during my lifetime and 99% of them have been delicious. My favorite is made with blue cornmeal topped with strawberry butter, a Buffalo NY recipe. Yours definitely looks tasty and I will try it soon.

  • @ShushLorraine
    @ShushLorraine 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    When I was a teenager, it was my job to make the cornbread every day. Mother didn't give me a recipe, just told me things like, "add about..." or "enough until it's almost soupy..." Therefore, every day, we had a different pan of cornbread. Now, I follow recipes or use a mix. Always good. Still, for all those 40ish years of making cornbread, I learned something from your video -- like honey and *why* she said "until it's soupy"and using butter in the pan instead of oil. I do love cornbread. But, I have to leave it alone as much as possible -- having it too many days in a row for several times a day has a negative effect. ;-)

  • @jackwebb437
    @jackwebb437 6 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    I do have a gentleman who brings me cornmeal from his gristmill. Getting from the gristmill will leave the live germ in it. Must be kept in the freezer. Using white corn makes for a sweeter mixture. Also I like to use a muffin pan and just fill it up 1/4 way. Makes each bite crunchy.
    But the comments on here are spot on. 1001 ways to prepare.

    • @jackwebb437
      @jackwebb437 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Josephine Roe Personally I like the rustic taste of my “mother’s cornbread”. I don’t think the germ alters the taste at all. Just the rusticity of having it ground right in front of you and no separation of the germ.
      It puts us closer to our forefathers who had to really bust their tails to survive.
      CORNBREAD IS WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT!!! LOL

      Sonja Hertzing thanks! They don’t sell buttermilk in stores here in Norway, so I was scrolling through the comments to see if I could use something else. I have the impression that buttermilk is a bit more «sour» than regular milk (though I have never in my life actually seen or tasted it) so I didn’t want to use that.

      the greek yogurt trick works good ofr sour cream subsittuions too and works as a healthy way of making mashed potatoes. potatoes are actually very healthy for you, it's just that they taste like crap by themselves so we tend to mix them with alot of unhealthy things like butter, oil, sour cream, bacon, and cheese to make them taste good.

    I discovered cornbread fairly late (I'm Australian and it's not a regular thing over here) but it really is delicious and when I've cooked it for people they always become instant converts. This recipe looks very nice and I'll be giving it a try. I've never used honey in it before and I'll be tweaking it just a tad by using gluten free flour as I'm coeliac. I've made cornbread with both kinds of flour at different times (I used wheat flour before I was diagnosed) and I've found that it actually turns out better with gluten free flour. You get a beautiful texture.
    Thanks for the recipe, Chef John!

  • @OmegaGamingNetwork
    @OmegaGamingNetwork 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    So glad to see something like this! I've been cooking cornbread in cast iron for a long time. I would like to throw a couple recommendations to those who are new. Having the cast iron pre heat in the oven until it has a steady temp around 250-300 F yields a crispier crust and I think letting the cornmeal soak in the wet ingredients for about 15 minutes before adding the flower yields a better texture. Now it won't matter on fine ground corn flour, but coarse ground corn meal it prevents some of those rogue hard chunks.

    • @faithsrvtrip8768

    Hmm, if you had heated that skillet for few mins got it hot and then poured in the cornbread, cooked it on the stop top till the edges looked golden brown. Then finished it in the oven for a crisp flakey top. it would have cooked in half the time. There are many versions. Some with chopped Jalapenos, dill or even real golden corn niblets. Love your show. Sending love from Texas!♥

I think we can detect that Chef John is not from around here, where we are, or were raised, yet that's okay with us; can't you tell?

    My father(older folks) would crumble up cornbread in a bowl and pour buttermilk over it and eat it like cereal. Cornbread was a breakfast food here in the south as was biscuits etc. I like it with sweetmilk(also 1 word); I used to add sugar on top when I was younger but now i just add the milk. Try not mixing out all the lumps and just letting it sit a while for the gluten. The lumps will make a mound and break on top of the bread. I got an F in home-eck for mixing all the lumps out and my bread looking like a layer cake and no mound. Your recipe is spot-on. Love the honey; authentic to what would be on hand way back in the day.

    You got it right with the cast iron & stone ground cornmeal. But ~ sugar in corn bread is called Yankee Bread in the South. My Grandma would have whipped us good if we put sugar in cornbread. At least you used honey so the corn bread deities will probably be kind to you.

    I turn my cornbread out before i slice it. My skillet was a hand me down from my grandmother and the thought of using a knife on it just makes my skin crawl. I also use sorghum instead of honey. I buy my corn meal from a local homestead that actually does stone grind it!

  • @reppeplucw
    @reppeplucw 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Almost exactly like my mother's (and everyone knows Mom's anything is the best). My father, though, liked his with no sweetening in the batter, so that's what we had. He was from Texas. His sister, also from Texas, liked hers sweetened. Since I grew up with unsweetened, that's what I prefer, but I like both. Since bacon grease was cheaper than butter, Mom used bacon grease instead (always had some on hand) most of the time. Just slightly better than butter. But on the whole, this brings back great memories. Now I just need to make a big pot of pinto beans to go with it. Thanks, Chef John. Love your videos and recipes.

    I made this recipe to go with Mexican chili for a dinner party and it was raved about. I modified it by having brown sugar and honey, no cayenne, more overall ingredients because my cast iron pan was larger and the batter had less height. I also baked at 350 for 25 minutes, rather than 400 because of the less height of the batter. I didn't have self-rising flour (never buy the stuff), so added baking powder. Thanks so much for sharing your idea! It looked amazing in the cast iron skillet too

    I'm the only person in the whole entirety of my family that is not from the south. I learned at a very young age that sugar, honey, any sweetener is a major no-no in cornbread. Southerners are very picky about their cornbread.

      But who cares what southerners think? I mean, unless you live in the south and want to fit in or something. In the Northeast cornbread has included sweeteners like molasses since the 1600s. Because of the triangle trade, the early colonists had tons of molasses. That's how it ended up in Boston baked beans too. People can eat whatever cornbread they like, but southerners do not own the dish or its original recipe. They just like to pretend they invented everything😊

I have several other cast iron pans for cooking other things, but that one, and that one only, is for cornbread. Different recipe, no sweetener or flour. Yes, they do use mill stones to grind stone ground cormeal.

      Indeed! Get the pan & bacon grease smoking hot, pour the grease in the batter and then the batter into the pan. There should be some serious sizzling going on! And for Dog’s sake don’t put any kind of anything sweet in it. That’s what northern people do and that ain’t real cornbread. Pouring the batter in the hot bacon grease gives an amazingly crispy crust. Yum.

  • @Cladman3001
    @Cladman3001 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Chef John, in the South where I live we use cornmeal a little less self-rising flour , I use sugar, 2 eggs, but honey would be interesting and good, I am sure. However, for the best tasting cornbread you need to use 1 tbs of bacon grease melted in the cast iron until it begins to smoke, pour in the batter, this develops a super crispy thick crust that is tender, put in a oven preheated to 475°F for 25 to 35 minuets. The perfect cook gives you a dome shaped in the middle with a nice rim crust. Take the cast iron pan and invert it over a plate and it ready to cut, butter and eat! YUM YUM!

    Thass alodda buttah! But I use grape seed oil, honey, and plain non-fat yogurt. Cornbread is very forgiving as far as recipe tweaks, just make sure there is baking powder and the batter is runny enough to pour or be spooned into the pan. I have forgotten the eggs, used just water for the liquid, it was still cornbread. I have been using whole wheat flower, and I love it! Bacon and chive are also good in the mix. And always the cayenne! I just might try this recipe!
