I know nobody will probably understand but I started crying when I saw Mr Brown fix the molasses with the butter. My Grandpa Brown is the one who taught me to do that. He's been gone 30 years now but seeing him do that just made me miss him so much.
I can’t tell you about the memories this brought back of the best days of my youth! Granddaddy wore liberty overalls, cooked everyday in one of many cast iron skillets, and always had a story. My love of molasses and cornbread came from him. God bless the hands, the meal, and the memories!
Sweet Cornbread in Buttermilk or regular milk in Ireland is called Milk & Goodie .. my maternal Grandmother who passed before I was born was Irish and nobody told me about the recipe. I had babies of my own raised them alone, and used to make that for them and I called it Milk & Goodie because of a dream I had. When my Mom who never fixed it or talked about it saw me baking the sweet cornbread and fixing it with milk for my toddlers she started crying and told me about her Mom making that in the Depression and Post Depression years. She could not believe it. She asked me how did you know about it and I told her I had a dream I was in my Grandparents kitchen in Alabama watching her make it. ❤ I hope Jesus calls us up soon! I think the rapture is close.
I only have one complaint about this video!!! I wasn't there. What dear sweet people, I love how they give God all the glory, their thanks, for all they've been blessed with. Then they sit down for that wonderful bread, can't wait to try some!!!😊❤
Me too. What awesome sweet and blessed people giving thanks first to our wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus and sharing their love with us and also this brought back so many memories of my childhood with my great grandmother and her brother, my great grand uncle making that molasses but he made the back strap kind and added the butter but also he always put honey and peanut butter on the table too. He didn't have a tooth in his mouth but could eat better than me as far as chewing lol . He could eat a corn on the cob like it was nothing. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipe but also thank you for your goodness and sharing of the Lord. God bless all of you and your family and loved ones always. Jesus is Lord . 😊❤❤❤
Thank you so much, that was so beautiful to read your text dear made my day, and it wasn't even to me! But was nice to know what sweet souls that are still out there. Be blessed, Happy Easter🕊🌷🐇🐣
Mr Brown I love how you and Mrs Lori loves us enough to share with us .I loved watching Justin Wilson too but he don't hold a candle to the two of you, loving y'all from Mayodan NC.
Ms Lori, don’t you just love it when a man gets in the kitchen and cooks. My grandfather always cooked breakfast for his sweetheart ( my grandmother). He call her baby and when breakfast was ready he’d call out to her,”Baby breakfast is ready.” And she’d get up and eat before she went to work. And he’s fix it for her even when she retired. I loved hearing him call her baby. True love.
My dad was always the cook in our family, and I loved to watch him not only make magnificent meals, but to this day at age 80 he still fixes Mom's plate and takes it to her. So I've been cooking for my own family for 30 years, and it's a wonderful gift I can give my wife who works so hard at her job and takes care of us by doing the clothes, keeping a clean home, being Super Mom, and she even likes to mow our big yard on our zero turn mower! People sometimes laugh when they come over and she is on the mower and I'm in an apron cooking dinner! Maybe we're a modern family, LOL.
@@jakemitchell1671, I think it’s wonderful that you take care of your wife in that way. I’m thinking it’s a wonderful way of showing the one you love that you care for them. God bless you sir. Please continue loving your wife in this way. Cause sometimes I just wish someone would just take care of me for a change. It’s always me taking care of others and I’m feeling a little burned out. Yep we woman do get burned out.
Used to eat this when I was a kid. My great-grandmother Rose Lee Booher make homemade bread from scratch, gigantic rolls from scratch, skillet biscuit bread from scratch, and skillet cornbread from scratch. I would get the molasses and butter stir it up in a saucer and eat eat eat, it was so delicious. Thank you Grandma Rose Lee, I love you and miss you. My grandma could cook a boot and it would taste wonderful. She also made five generations alive all at once.
Hi! I'm 73 and when we ate it when we were young. But we had Brer' Rabbit or Steins Syrup. Best dang Bread ever. I also cooked it for my children when they were growing up. They loved it. It was a treat on special occasions. As a matter of fact as of today Jan.23,2024 I am cooking a batch ton this rainy day in honor of your family and mine and all the others that know of this simple pleasure. Thank You my friends for the memory of something so simplistic but yet delicious ❣❣❣❣❣
Mr. Brown, you sure brought back some great memories. My granny made biscuits twice a day and they was good. But, when my grandpa made skillet bread it was special. Yours looks just like he made. He didn't have any teeth left so that soft bread was great dipped in coffee and brown sugar or molasses like you did, if we was lucky enough to have some. God bless you for making my day!
For anyone who doesn’t have self rising flour, you can STILL make this, for every cup of flour at 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Awesome recipe! Thanks! You’re adorable!
Thank you Lindsay!! I Needed that information!! I want to make this!! My Dad who grew up in Salisbury. NC would make this in a cast iron skillet (but heated the skillet beforehand..& put in the dough & then in the oven).. He called it “Hoe Cake!” It’s So yummy & Such Good Smells coming from the Oven!! 🥰🙌🙌💗🙏🙏😋 Great with Sausage Gravy!!😋🙌🙌🙏
I understand my grandpa did same . He passed when I was 18 , I'm 75 and it still brought tears to my eyes. He taught me so much about cooking and life ! Still miss my Grandpa Wess White . Love you grandpa
Justin Wilson taught for the Mississippi school system. I discovered him in 2007 in the middle of the night being snored out of bed and trying to drown the noise out. He always had the best colorful stories too!
I am another one crying as I watched. My great-grandmother was the best cook in the world. I knew I was loved when I was with my great grands on the farm. God bless them both and bless both these two people.
We as kids used to call this on top of the stove bread. We absolutely loved it!!! I am now 71 years old. And you know what? I’m gonna make me some on top of the stove bread! Thanks and blessings sent your way.
We thank God every day for the ability to provide for ourselves! Amen brother. In the U.S. we sometimes forget our blessings. Thanks for the show. Jesus is Lord!
I just love this couple!!! My home flooded a few weeks ago, and we are basically having to start over in our seventies. Watching these videos has kept me sane. I can’t cook right now because we have all our things that we tried to save, stacked everywhere. If we ever get back to normal, I have a list of things I can hardly wait to make. My husband was impressed with Mr. Brown’s skillet bread, and is anxious to try his recipe. I’m so happy that I found this couple!!!
My Granny raised us up on Hoe cake and tomatoes and rice she always had a ham in the freezer and a turkey that was our regular food as well as holidays such sweet memories
You have made this 40 year old woman so happy!!! I am from Arkansas and I haven't had this since the early 2000s. My grandmother used to make it and nobody knew the recipe. I am making this tomorrow. I just need some buttermilk. ❤️❤️❤️
My grammy( dads mom) made this bread for a lot of meals. Our Nany(moms mother).would make apple butter. Every time I got to go to Grammy s I took some of my Nannys jelly or Jam. The best days when it was my brother,me and both sets of grandparents. The food,searching for arrow head going to old lava plains. We would spend the night. Get up the next morning to a great breakfast, lots of love laughter and lessons Then we would go home. Great times that I miss. Thnks to them we learned a lot. 😊
My memaw made this bread and the molasses the same way. She’s been gone 28 years and buried 28 today. I cried watching this. I miss her so much. Thank you for reminding all of us of the simpler times in life. God bless you both and all that follow your channel you both are such a blessing ❤
You brought back such tender memories of my grandfather 💓 Every mid afternoon I would make a small batch of hot biscuits with molasses and butter. My grandfather, eighty something at the time, and my then 2 year old daughter would race to the table for them. Each and every time he would take a bite, close his eyes, and say...just like my mother used to make. How could I not make them everyday for him.
What a BLESSING of a granddaughter you were to him, and a good mama too passing that tradition to your baby and hooking the two of them up in an incredible relationship toddler and elder. May the Lord bless your faithful acts of love, sincerity and familial devotion.
@@mamamode1312 A rather hard to find blessing these days, when families live great distances apart, and many elderly are in nursing homes away from family and friends. So sad.
@@heidimisfeldt5685 yes, so very sadly true. My daughter and a few of her friends do in home elder care. Not an option for all families, but for those that it is, it keeps the up generation with their loved ones and being the central role in the family as family members come and go and bond while shift rotations occur with the assistance of the elder care providers.
I Love that you are not afraid to use bacon grease!!!! I grew up on bacon grease!!! Now people are "afraid" to use bacon grease in their cooking!!! I think there is nothing like bacon grease!!!!
I started eating Keto about 2 months ago. I eat bacon nearly every day for breakfast and everything I cook is cooked in or with bacon grease. I've never felt better and have lost 20 pounds! I sure do miss my homemade biscuits and bread though.
@@viennehaake9149 my grandmother ate bacon and bacon grease eggs for every morning of her life and she lived to be almost 98 years old. They knew what they were doing back in those days it’s today that we eat so many things that have so many chemicals in them back in those days they slaughter a Hog everything was from their hands raising the animals and vegetables and fruit to table. Great memories of that I’m so glad I have that to look back on many times 😃🙏🏼
My grandma made these on Sunday Morning! She would break it up in pieces and put it on our plates! Cooking the whole meal on a wood stove 🥰 the best time ever. I'm 66 now I remember and can smell that pan bread ❤️
I remember my grandma making this; she was the one who taught me to keep a mason jar for bacon grease in the fridge. We used to eat the bread with her homemade honey butter….she taught me so much! Thank you for this recipe!
Hats off to Mr Brown! It's not easy to do a cooking video after Ms Lori, the Pro! Not only educational but very inspirational. Yes, All Blessings do come from Above! We shall not ever forget to be grateful to our Heavenly Father. Thank you!
My nana made this bread frequently and called it "hoe cake". When I asked her how the name came about, she said because you could cook it on a hot hoe you've been using in the fields or gardens on the farm. Amazing how things were done two centuries ago, and still made now. I thank you for this video...I miss her terribly.
Hoe cakes were “cooked” by slaves back in the day out in the fields using cornbread and water mixed together into a patty and cooked in a hoe “blade” as a skillet over a small fire - hence the name
We have made this so many times, we have a jar of molasses now, my grandfather would grow a field of Cain and make juice to boil out and make enough for the whole family to have a gallon each and he would sale the rest , they would mix butter and syrup together like Mr brown.
Oh, I love visiting with you two! My family lives in Georgia and watching you cook reminds me of them! We made many fried biscuit-like that or Cornbread! My Granny never cut the bread, She'd always say break yourself off a piece! I miss her so much! Thank you for the memories! There's nothing more special than good food and family!
Mr Brown, you took me back more than 50 years eating with my grandparents and great grandparents. Molasses mixed with butter. I can feel the window open with a breeze blowing and the radio going with "party line show" going. Thank you for the sweet memories! God bless!
Gma always made hoe cakes with White Lily SR ,a little salt and milk to make it a little thicker than pancake mix and cooked in bacon grease good and hot !! I still make it to this day !! So good !! I will try this too !!
Every time I use molasses, my mind flashes back to my early childhood. Daddy had a 55 gallon drum full of molasses in the barn. It lay on its side, with a spigot on it. Daddy would drizzle molasses over the cow's "chop" (ground-up corn and grain mixture) for extra nutrition. Well, I would lay down under that spigot, turn it on to the tiniest drizzle, and catch it in my mouth! We kids were practically raised in that dairy barn! My baby brother even had a crib there, it certainly was a family farm!
My husband and I are not much younger than y’all and it’s funny how we have the same hopes and dreams for our future. I was raised, and many generations before me right where we live today, in tidewater VA. Jamestown, to be precise. And yes, I can trace my ancestors when the came over several centuries ago. As for biscuits and molasses, that was a staple in our home, particularly my nanny’s and it takes me back to some wonderful memories of my childhood. Y’all are a true inspiration to us and your faith in the Lord! God bless you!!!
My mother grew up in a holler in West Virginia. All the recipes on this channel remind me of my grandmother and my mother. My mom turns 88 this year and she still cooks Sunday dinner.
I grew up at the head of a holler in Boone county WV and still live in the same holler. My mommy used to make this for us when we were growing up. She called it Shanty bread. Don't know why though. It was great watching the video you dian excellent job explaining and cooking, thank you Sir, keep up the great job and as always Jesus gives new life to those who ask him for it. God bless.
I was a fourth generation logger and my mother used to make what she called "logging bread." In the old logging camps, they wouldn't waste time baking biscuits in circles. They'd just dump the batter in a big pan and cut it into squares when it was done. Good ol' days.
Bannock or spoon bread or pone. All about the same. There's flitters too. All flitters are is wheat flour and water. Mixed into a dough and fried. Confederate Soldiers used to make a corn bread dough, where it were thick enough to roll it into a long thin length and wrap it around their rifle ram rod and let it bake over the fire. They called it sloosh.
Great job, Danny! My mother used to make skillet bread, and my siblings and I grew up eating molasses. As kids, one of our favorite ways to eat it was to poke a hole in a biscuit and fill it with molasses. I love watching the two of you! I grew up in this lifestyle and your show brings back so many wonderful memories. We grew and raised the majority of our food. My parents grew up during the Great Depression, and nothing went to waste! My mother canned everything and I can remember her making both grape hull and watermelon rind preserves. Many people have never heard of it! Lori and Danny, I love both of you! Thank you for sharing your lives, recipes, wisdom, and faith with us. May God bless you. ❤️🙏 ~Love from North Carolina...
Me, too, but my grandmother died in childbirth with her eleventh baby so mom never learned to cook. But Mom and Dad grew up during the depression and we learned to grow our own food and raise chickens for eggs and eating. Good times. I know my Mom would love this channel as much as I do. I’ve learned good stick to your ribs cooking. I read about watermelon pickles and love making them summertime. Folks never tried them before and are amazed they come from rinds most people toss.
I’m so glad I found this recipe! My Dad used to make this! I asked him how to make it and he said it’s biscuit dough. He called it “whole cake”. My grandfather mixed butter and cane syrup. He showed us to put our pinkie in the side of a biscuit and pour syrup into it. This video has brought a lot of memories to mind. Thank you.
Ha I’m a London girl, and I’d watch your channel just to hear you and Mr Browns lovely accents, even if you didn’t make such lovely grub ha You two take care of each other and God bless you xx
I’m sure we would love your accent also Lesley. Even reading you use grub is different from us in the south. And yes I agree that they do make lovely grub. Bless you from Alabama.👩🌾💛
@@apiecemaker1163 Ha ha yes there are many terms for food in England, nosh being another one..I just love Miss Lori and Mr Browns accents, way of life..To me it seems as it should be, such a natural way of life, eating natural food and living off the land.. Here in England, very few people could live like that, mostly people have small gardens if at all...take care ..best wishes to you and yours..
@@lesleyrawlings4209 Thank you so much for you kind words and yes I agree with the Browns lifestyle being very desirable. While I live much the same here in Alabama, there is something that draws many of us to them and to their channel. Hope we get an opportunity to chat again in future videos. Happy gardening. 👩🌾☀️🌻
Pa Brown says Ms Lori can make better bread. Ms Lori says Pa Brown can make better gravy. This is why these two make a great team! And a wonderful couple! :)
A Godly couple sweet and kind to each other that have lived through the hard times and good times through the longevity of their marriage..I love to hear them talking to each other as one of them is cooking and saying sweet things to each other ! Love y’all’s kind of cooking .. I cook the same kind too and feel blessed to have it as Mr Brown said we give God Thanks for everything! Blessings to you both!❤️
Delightful pair these two! After my own heart! My man was skilled at cooking beans and weanies, and tomato soup and crackers. It's a wonder he didn't have scurvy before I came along. I'm a scratch cook who loves flavor. I've been trying to teach him (for 17 years) how to cook something that is edible for both of us. I'm going to have him watch this and see what he comes up with! I can't watch the way he accomplishes it, just as long as he gets all the ingredients in. He stirs like a wussie, lol! I said "Beat those eggs, don't show them mercy!"
This makes mw think of Mrs. Wilkes' Boarding House on W. Jones Ave. in Savannah, GA. What a joy sitting around a big tavle passing the serving dishes from one diner to the next. Such a treasure, and a reminder when single men or ladies could live in respectable boarding houses.
I have made this twice since I watched this video 3 days ago. Once I put garlic powder and basil in the mix and made it with mozzerella cheese in the center, and today I made it with "everything bagel" spices and cheddar cheese in the middle. My daughter and friend loved it! I think this is going to be a common bread made often! Its so easy the change the flavor and it takes no time at all to make! 😁
Wonderful idea of adding the spices to the dough. I was thinking about maybe a little sugar and cinnamon 4 really easy cinnamon rolls. Maybe dividing the dough into two parts and sprinkling cinnamon and sugar on the first layer so that the sugar doesn't burn. I didn't have any bacon grease but I do have a pound of bacon. I opened up the fat side at the end and sliced enough for my one person batch and smaller enamel skillet been strained out the little bacon pieces. I could have even put the bacon in the dough but mine got a little burnt. I'm cooking on a hot plate and neglected to watch it more closely. Oh dear now the dough has risen almost over the edge of my little skillet. Using a knife I just gently push the dough back into the skillet and put a bigger top with a higher Dome. The first time you do anything new you always learn a lot. Perfection comes with practice. Normally judge something done when I can smell it so I'll let my flour bread continue to cook. Also when I use my hot plate I just turn it all the way up and I'm not so good at judging where the lower settings are besides the fact that the markings have all worn off. I love using my stainless steel electric skillet for low temperature cooking but it's a little large for this application . No smell yet and it's been more than 20 minutes for sure. Maybe I should go see how the top feels. If it's not sticky at all maybe I'll be safe and turning it over. I can always use the plate trick by turning the pan over on a plate and then sliding the goodie back in. Back in a little bit. Well it didn't want to come out by itself so I ran a knife along the edge and use my spatula to loosen the bottom. It's really nice and brown and holds together very well when I use my spatula to put it back in. Since I didn't have any more bacon grease I just wiped the skillet down and added a little butter spreading it around the bottom and sides. I'll let it go at least 10 minutes can maybe get a little brown crusty on the top also. I'm glad that early on I turn my molasses jar upside down. It is only about a fourth of the way full and maybe I've had it for a long time so the expression slow as molasses applies for mine. Since it's winter my kitchen is on the cool side so I put the plate with molasses and butter in the microwave for a minute. The disadvantage of letting the bread get crusty is that when you try to quarter it in the pan the bottom part doesn't want to separate so I have ended up with about 50% crumbs. It's all edible but too much for me to finish at one time. One cup of flour made a whole plateful. Maybe in the morning I will add some Jam On Top, cover with Saran Wrap and reheat in the micro and also deal with the sink full of dishes I used to make my flour bread. I learned that you can't go by smell and there is such a thing as getting it to crusty. Next time I'm going to try adding sugar and cinnamon in the middle to suit my taste. I thoroughly enjoyed this little experiment and hope you enjoyed reading about it. So go try a new thing and have fun Ted
Edit to the above. I meant to say that it can get too crusty. And the very last word is not supposed to be there I don't know why Google translated. As a name.
Loved watching Justin Wilson. I hardly ever say onion without adding Justin’s flair. I appreciate channels that run these old shows. Nothing really worth watching today, I gaur-on-tee! 😁 👍🏼
I’m literally almost crying! I’ve told my family about my Big Mama’s biscuit bread that she used to make and I’ve looked high and low for a “biscuit bread” recipe to no avail! I’m so excited to try this for my family!!
I like that idea. When we was growing up in the depression my mommer always said the same thing. Now we didn't have much during the depression but you know it was more than a lot of people had and we was thankful to the good lord for it. Now my daddy couldn't find a lot of work but he did the best he could and mommer would take in washing sometimes to make ends meet and her and daddy growed a garden and so we always had fresh vegetables, sometimes there werent' enough but we was always thankful, even when it was sad and depressing. That's what I remember about the depression, it was always sad and depressing. but we would invited family and friends over when we had enough and setting there at that table with all our friends around us we knowed everthang was gone be alright. We didn't want there to be no war because we loved everbody but then thangs got so bad that Franklin D. Roosevelt decided he was gone fight the depression for his people even though he was rich and the depression didn't hurt him he loved his people and everbody else enough he wanted everbody to overcome the depression and so he fought the depression and then he got together with Winston churchill and Joseph Stalin, two other great men and Winston Churchill had said that it weren't right for the Germans to be doing so well and not be in a depression because Hitler had put his people to work building and planting and so Winston Churchill decided he was gone kill the Notsies and Franklin D. Roosevelt decided he would kill the Notsies so they joined Joseph Stalin and started the war. Now that was bad but you know what. They was able to build a bomb plant and my daddy got him a job there making bombs for Winston Churchill to drop and burn up Notsy childern. And we was happy cause we was fightin evil people but not Joseph Stalin all them people he had killed deserved it. And all them Indians and Irish poeple Churchill had killed was evil. They was probably racists or something. And then Franklin D. Roosevelt finally defeated the Notsies and made the world safe for Jews and thats why America is such a happy place today. Thank you. I appreciate you letting me tell my stories on youtube/. Amen
I love molasses with butter. My dad is the one that taught me this and we loved the times when we were able to get some really good molasses. And want to reiterate, that yes ,I thank God every single day that i and my husband have been very blessed to always be able to put food on my family’s table , by the grace of God and a lot of hard work. The moment I started to tear up in your video was at the end when you said the blessing💕. God bless you and your family.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you! Watching Mr. Brown is like watching my Grandpa, who passed many years ago, but I still remember him. You made me cry when you said, "the wonderful cook next to me." 😥😥 Love watching you two!!
We call it flour bread also I use sour cream instead of butter milk an make dough dry like making homemade biscuits an bacon grease is the best taste to cook it in 100 percent👨🏼🍳😀👍🏼
My grandpa used to make this. I never knew the recipe until today. My Pop has been in heaven for over 30 years. I look forward to sharing this with my sister. Thank you!!
My momma used to make this. I never had her recipe (but I do have her old cast iron skillet). She's make this on her wood stove and we'd normally have it with pinto beans and fried potatoes for supper. I'm so glad you've taken the time to explain about the types of molasses. Thank you for sharing the recipe and technique.
Having just used this skillet for the first time, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxIst1DRMCWM6dgd9VjXMFXlH4HeElE6Mc to batter-fry some macaroni & cheese, I'm absolutely in love with it. The foldaway design means it actually fits in my very small kitchen, but it also makes everything crazy simple to clean. While the instructions say you should not deep fry in this, you can, but do it with your best judgment; in my case the oil didn't even reach the halfway mark.It's hard to see in the pictures, but the skillet itself has a lip in the corner. This allows steam to get out during cooking if the lid is on (so don't try to steam rice in it), and makes pouring out used oil extremely easy.Cleanup was a dream. After detaching the plug and control circuit, the unit is just three separate pieces: The skillet itself, the lid, and the base which may or may not need any cleaning at all (usually just the handles). Compared to a dedicated deep fryer I purchased in the past, where the heating element was suspended in the oil and everything was difficult to clean, the difference was amazing.I'm definitely looking forward to using this for more things in the future.
My dad used to make his butter like that, always adding a bit of honey to the molasses, probably to make it more palatable for all the kids. I think he would sometimes add a dob of blackstrap molasses to it, as well. He would use a similar mixture to make us fried apples and sausage after we had made a trip to the orchard. Great memories. Thanks!!
I made this last night!! DELICIOUS! We had it with a pot of beans cooked with a ham hock. I baked mine in the oven and flipped it about halfway through. It was so toasty on both sids. Thanks for sharing this!
This is one of my favorite episodes. It was wonderful seeing Mr. Brown cook this recipe-I’m going to try it soon. “All blessings come from Him.” 🙏🏼 Well said, Mr. Brown!
My Granny made this every day. She would cook a big meal each day and make skillet bread to go with supper leftovers. A thumbs up for Mr. Brown, good job.
My Granny did too. She made every morning and was eaten with meals or as a snack. She also served with her canned fruit preserves; apple, peaches or strawberry. Delicious!
I love this bread!! My mommy used to make bread like this and we called it “dough bread”. I guess because it was made from biscuit dough, but that’s what us kids called it. God bless you Mr. Brown and Miss Lori and thank you once again for the memory.❤️
I made this again today for breakfast! I used corn meal and flour and plain organic yogurt....in the center was mozzerella cheese....Oh my yummy! Thank you for sharing your recipies, I doubt I will be buying bread much anymore! Hugs to both of you! God is GOOD!😁🎶🇺🇸
How fun to see Mr. Brown cooking. He’s such a good man Lori. He loves the Lord and he sure loves you. I never made skillet bread, so I need to try. Enjoy y’all’s weekend. God bless you both.
I get so much joy taking a regular bag of flour and turning it into warm biscuits, sour dough bread and pancakes. I can't wait to try this! Thanks for the recipe!
I remember the molasses at my grandparent's house used to come in a big can, it had a top like a paint can that you would pop out with a butter knife. That was the real deal!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. So many of the old time ones are being lost in the wind. I'm sure some of the younger viewers will be inspired by this delicious bread. God bless.
The man- Mr. Brown you did a great job, I remember eating a lot of this growing up. We eat this with cow butter and fresh bacon. Amen God is a loving God he has thought us to live on a bean and tater diet, and to read the word of God everyday.
What a sweet couple you are. I love the love & respect that you have for each other. I love seeing men in the kitchen cooking. That skillet biscuit bread looks delish. I just might have to cook me up some of it. 😋
Oh, I loved everything about this video! The bread looks delicious and it’s really quite simple to make! Can’t wait to try it. But this was just truly a blessing to find overall! Thank you!
I remember when we drank our coffee in a cup and saucer. Good hot coffee, strong if perked coffee was too hot, we poured it in the saucer to cool and drank from there. We used to laugh if the cup stuck to the saucer because it was strong. lol now I drink mine in a steel 19 oz glass. We called it hobo coffee, daddy called it that. Boiled coffee in a pot, let it settle then pour. We had hocakes in the fireplace, took baths in front of the fire dried , Jamie’s on, ran up stairs to the bed covered in a ton of homemade quilts, our fireplace warming up the frozen room, with sisters snuggling together. Great memories, we may be going back to that in our children’s future.
I love this bread and made it often when I was raising my kids. I didn't use butter or buttermilk, but instead, I used veggie oil or Crisco and sweet milk, and I cooked mine in the oven. It was so good when buttered with syrup, preserves, or gravy. I have also cooked it on top of the stove when my oven was torn up, plus cornbread. Living in Alabama, we called it a Hoe Cake. Thanks for the memory. It looks good enough to eat, good job Pa Brown. Thumbs up.
@@athomewithmelissa I'm sorry Melissa, it's been a really long time since I've made it. I made it when I was raising my kids. It was about like pancake batter but just a little thicker. I just made the batter like biscuit doe, but just a little thinner so you can stir it with a spoon then I poured it into the pan. I greased the iron skillet and got it hot then poured it all in. I then cooked it in the oven at 450 degrees until brown and the toothpick came out clean. I hope that helped you just a little.
@@diannegordon7393 I'm glad to greet you. We may have to bring back some of the old cheap recipes from the past where we didn't have to use too many ingredients but just what we had. lol
Im 73 and this bread is delicious so easy for me to make. I never could make bisquits and to much trouble... My brother loves this too... Thanku so much... Gets harder to cook when u get old this is easy... Yall have some more recipes i wanna try.. May God bless yall
I grew up in southwest Virginia eating this, and we called it pone bread. Pone bread, gravy, scrambled eggs and sometimes bacon or sausage and breakfast was on. Good memories.
Justin Wilson brings back a lot of memories. My husband, he’s been gone 10 yrs now, and I used to always watch Justin Wilson for many years. I can hear him exclaim all his Louisiana slang talk. He was funny & a great cook. Thanks for the memories. ♥️ You seem to be a pretty good cook too!!!
My husband and I really enjoyed his show. My husband was killed in a logging accident 30 yrs ago. He was 38 and I was 33. We were country/mountain folks. I still am. Love that old timey cooking.
I just love the music you have for your intro. It’s so relaxing, comforting, and worshipful of Jesus. My Mamaw and my Mama always made biscuits in cast iron. I need to get back to that. It makes all the difference. I loved watching Justin Wilson! God bless you both!♥️
I tried skillet bread when I was much younger when we lived in northern Florida. I really liked it and have been looking for the recipe. Can't wait to try making it for my family!
I know nobody will probably understand but I started crying when I saw Mr Brown fix the molasses with the butter. My Grandpa Brown is the one who taught me to do that. He's been gone 30 years now but seeing him do that just made me miss him so much.
I second that emotion.. tissue’s Please thanks for reminding me about this.. my Dad did that also❤️🕊
My father in law and my grandfather! Brings back memories that bring a smile to the face and warms the heart.
Bless your heart.
I totally understand. My Daddy did the same and I thought of him when I was watching this video. I miss him every single day.😢
I completely understand!! Lots of things take me back and make me tear up. This did the same for me. ❤
I can’t tell you about the memories this brought back of the best days of my youth! Granddaddy wore liberty overalls, cooked everyday in one of many cast iron skillets, and always had a story. My love of molasses and cornbread came from him. God bless the hands, the meal, and the memories!
Glad you enjoyed it
The memories are priceless!
My dad at 93 still has his molasses and butter, he also loves corn bread crumbled up and stuffed in a glass of butttermilk.
Sweet Cornbread in Buttermilk or regular milk in Ireland is called Milk & Goodie .. my maternal Grandmother who passed before I was born was Irish and nobody told me about the recipe. I had babies of my own raised them alone, and used to make that for them and I called it Milk & Goodie because of a dream I had. When my Mom who never fixed it or talked about it saw me baking the sweet cornbread and fixing it with milk for my toddlers she started crying and told me about her Mom making that in the Depression and Post Depression years. She could not believe it. She asked me how did you know about it and I told her I had a dream I was in my Grandparents kitchen in Alabama watching her make it. ❤ I hope Jesus calls us up soon! I think the rapture is close.
I have never heard of that combination but looks good!
I love the old ways that sounds just like my daddy
Y'all r such good people I can tell
That is some good eating.👍😊
I only have one complaint about this video!!! I wasn't there.
What dear sweet people, I love how they give God all the glory, their thanks, for all they've been blessed with.
Then they sit down for that wonderful bread, can't wait to try some!!!😊❤
You are so kind
Me too. What awesome sweet and blessed people giving thanks first to our wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus and sharing their love with us and also this brought back so many memories of my childhood with my great grandmother and her brother, my great grand uncle making that molasses but he made the back strap kind and added the butter but also he always put honey and peanut butter on the table too. He didn't have a tooth in his mouth but could eat better than me as far as chewing lol . He could eat a corn on the cob like it was nothing. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipe but also thank you for your goodness and sharing of the Lord. God bless all of you and your family and loved ones always. Jesus is Lord . 😊❤❤❤
Thank you so much, that was so beautiful to read your text dear made my day, and it wasn't even to me! But was nice to know what sweet souls that are still out there. Be blessed, Happy Easter🕊🌷🐇🐣
Your comment made me laugh! I agree it looks lovely!
❤ This Bread Looks So Good I Have Made Biscuik Bread Before I Made It A Little Different
To me that is a rich man’s breakfast. Thanking God for what we have. God gives us so many blessings!
Amen
Amen thank you Lord !
Amen
Amen, Amen, Yes he does, I am very Thankful.
Amen....Thank you Lord for your blessings on us!!
Mr Brown I love how you and Mrs Lori loves us enough to share with us .I loved watching Justin Wilson too but he don't hold a candle to the two of you, loving y'all from Mayodan NC.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Yes, I loved Justin Wilson! I am in NC as well!
Oh I loved Justin Wilson he was awesome.A pinch of salt,was my favorite.😊
Ms Lori, don’t you just love it when a man gets in the kitchen and cooks. My grandfather always cooked breakfast for his sweetheart ( my grandmother). He call her baby and when breakfast was ready he’d call out to her,”Baby breakfast is ready.” And she’d get up and eat before she went to work. And he’s fix it for her even when she retired. I loved hearing him call her baby. True love.
My husband always called me baby. We were married 57 and 1/2 years and I was always baby to him
My dad was always the cook in our family, and I loved to watch him not only make magnificent meals, but to this day at age 80 he still fixes Mom's plate and takes it to her. So I've been cooking for my own family for 30 years, and it's a wonderful gift I can give my wife who works so hard at her job and takes care of us by doing the clothes, keeping a clean home, being Super Mom, and she even likes to mow our big yard on our zero turn mower! People sometimes laugh when they come over and she is on the mower and I'm in an apron cooking dinner! Maybe we're a modern family, LOL.
@@jakemitchell1671, I think it’s wonderful that you take care of your wife in that way. I’m thinking it’s a wonderful way of showing the one you love that you care for them. God bless you sir. Please continue loving your wife in this way. Cause sometimes I just wish someone would just take care of me for a change. It’s always me taking care of others and I’m feeling a little burned out. Yep we woman do get burned out.
How fun is that. Love seeing him make these things. Looks so yummy. Thank you. Love it!!!
My granddad was a better cook than my grandmother.
I love seeing your husband making the bread. How blessed you two are!
Used to eat this when I was a kid. My great-grandmother Rose Lee Booher make homemade bread from scratch, gigantic rolls from scratch, skillet biscuit bread from scratch, and skillet cornbread from scratch. I would get the molasses and butter stir it up in a saucer and eat eat eat, it was so delicious. Thank you Grandma Rose Lee, I love you and miss you. My grandma could cook a boot and it would taste wonderful. She also made five generations alive all at once.
Hi! I'm 73 and when we ate it when we were young. But we had Brer' Rabbit or Steins Syrup. Best dang Bread ever. I also cooked it for my children when they were growing up. They loved it. It was a treat on special occasions. As a matter of fact as of today Jan.23,2024 I am cooking a batch ton this rainy day in honor of your family and mine and all the others that know of this simple pleasure.
Thank You my friends for the memory of something so simplistic but yet delicious ❣❣❣❣❣
I loved reading your comments. Reminds me of my family!
n
Mr. Brown, you sure brought back some great memories. My granny made biscuits twice a day and they was good. But, when my grandpa made skillet bread it was special. Yours looks just like he made. He didn't have any teeth left so that soft bread was great dipped in coffee and brown sugar or molasses like you did, if we was lucky enough to have some. God bless you for making my day!
For anyone who doesn’t have self rising flour, you can STILL make this, for every cup of flour at 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Awesome recipe! Thanks! You’re adorable!
Thank you Lindsay!! I Needed that information!! I want to make this!! My Dad who grew up in Salisbury. NC would make this in a cast iron skillet (but heated the skillet beforehand..& put in the dough & then in the oven).. He called it “Hoe Cake!” It’s So yummy & Such Good Smells coming from the Oven!! 🥰🙌🙌💗🙏🙏😋
Great with Sausage Gravy!!😋🙌🙌🙏
Thank you! I'm glad I kept reading through the comments. I was about to ask Mrs. Lori what the amounts would be.
I understand my grandpa did same . He passed when I was 18 , I'm 75 and it still brought tears to my eyes. He taught me so much about cooking and life ! Still miss my Grandpa Wess White . Love you grandpa
Same...
Mine too
Justin Wilson taught for the Mississippi school system.
I discovered him in 2007 in the middle of the night being snored out of bed and trying to drown the noise out.
He always had the best colorful stories too!
It's a giant buiscuit! ❤ I can't believe i went 30 years and never heard or saw such a thing. I'm so glad I came across your video this morning 😊
Well it IS ALMOST BAKING POWDER BISCUITS, but without the baking powder, huh?!
This was one of my favorite breads when I was little. I am 74 years old and it’s still one of my favorites. Thank you for the memories.
I’ve never tried cooking bread in a skillet. Beautiful job sir. I’m gong to try this receipt.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am another one crying as I watched. My great-grandmother was the best cook in the world. I knew I was loved when I was with my great grands on the farm. God bless them both and bless both these two people.
We as kids used to call this on top of the stove bread. We absolutely loved it!!! I am now 71 years old. And you know what? I’m gonna make me some on top of the stove bread! Thanks and blessings sent your way.
i cant wait to try making this skillet bread/ biscuit bread. reminds me of what my grand mom made
You can’t use too much bacon grease !! Love it !!
Im so country yal
Williamharris9630...ever hear of heart disease???
Eating junk like bacon grease is one reason Southerners die young...
We make bacon grease sandwiches lol old school
We thank God every day for the ability to provide for ourselves! Amen brother. In the U.S. we sometimes forget our blessings. Thanks for the show. Jesus is Lord!
I just love this couple!!! My home flooded a few weeks ago, and we are basically having to start over in our seventies. Watching these videos has kept me sane. I can’t cook right now because we have all our things that we tried to save, stacked everywhere. If we ever get back to normal, I have a list of things I can hardly wait to make. My husband was impressed with Mr. Brown’s skillet bread, and is anxious to try his recipe. I’m so happy that I found this couple!!!
Our hearts are with you.
Sending prayers to you and family from northern Ontario ❤️🙏❤️
Dear my Prayers Are With You 🙏💙 and your Dear Husband! I pray Jesus will bring you both out Blessed More Than Before!
My Granny raised us up on Hoe cake and tomatoes and rice she always had a ham in the freezer and a turkey that was our regular food as well as holidays such sweet memories
I'm just reading your comment from 4 months ago. God must have better plans for you n your husband. Bless you
You have made this 40 year old woman so happy!!! I am from Arkansas and I haven't had this since the early 2000s. My grandmother used to make it and nobody knew the recipe. I am making this tomorrow. I just need some buttermilk. ❤️❤️❤️
My grammy( dads mom) made this bread for a lot of meals. Our Nany(moms mother).would make apple butter. Every time I got to go to Grammy s I took some of my Nannys jelly or Jam. The best days when it was my brother,me and both sets of grandparents. The food,searching for arrow head going to old lava plains. We would spend the night. Get up the next morning to a great breakfast, lots of love laughter and lessons
Then we would go home. Great times that I miss. Thnks to them we learned a lot. 😊
I'm 51. I really miss my Granny. You both remind me of how I grew up. I appreciate it. ❤😊
Awww,,,,sweeter words could not be said! "all blessings come from Him"
Amen!
Looks yummy!
@@wyldeman poop oooookoooo kkooooooo
My memaw made this bread and the molasses the same way. She’s been gone 28 years and buried 28 today. I cried watching this. I miss her so much. Thank you for reminding all of us of the simpler times in life. God bless you both and all that follow your channel you both are such a blessing ❤
You brought back such tender memories of my grandfather 💓 Every mid afternoon I would make a small batch of hot biscuits with molasses and butter. My grandfather, eighty something at the time, and my then 2 year old daughter would race to the table for them. Each and every time he would take a bite, close his eyes, and say...just like my mother used to make. How could I not make them everyday for him.
What a BLESSING of a granddaughter you were to him, and a good mama too passing that tradition to your baby and hooking the two of them up in an incredible relationship toddler and elder. May the Lord bless your faithful acts of love, sincerity and familial devotion.
@@mamamode1312
A rather hard to find blessing these days, when families live great distances apart, and many elderly are in nursing homes away from family and friends. So sad.
@@heidimisfeldt5685 yes, so very sadly true. My daughter and a few of her friends do in home elder care.
Not an option for all families, but for those that it is, it keeps the up generation with their loved ones and being the central role in the family as family members come and go and bond while shift rotations occur with the assistance of the elder care providers.
What a beautiful story! So precious and memorable....Thankyou for sharing!! 💞
need that recepie....
I Love that you are not afraid to use bacon grease!!!! I grew up on bacon grease!!! Now people are "afraid" to use bacon grease in their cooking!!! I think there is nothing like bacon grease!!!!
I started eating Keto about 2 months ago. I eat bacon nearly every day for breakfast and everything I cook is cooked in or with bacon grease. I've never felt better and have lost 20 pounds! I sure do miss my homemade biscuits and bread though.
Love my bacon grease 😋
My father would always use bacon grease on his pancakes instead of butter
From when I was a little bitty girl I have always known Bacon grease as liquid gold 😃
@@viennehaake9149 my grandmother ate bacon and bacon grease eggs for every morning of her life and she lived to be almost 98 years old. They knew what they were doing back in those days it’s today that we eat so many things that have so many chemicals in them back in those days they slaughter a Hog everything was from their hands raising the animals and vegetables and fruit to table. Great memories of that I’m so glad I have that to look back on many times
😃🙏🏼
My grandma made these on Sunday Morning! She would break it up in pieces and put it on our plates! Cooking the whole meal on a wood stove 🥰 the best time ever. I'm 66 now I remember and can smell that pan bread ❤️
I remember my grandma making this; she was the one who taught me to keep a mason jar for bacon grease in the fridge. We used to eat the bread with her homemade honey butter….she taught me so much! Thank you for this recipe!
“All Blessings come from Him.”
Amen!
Thanks Pa Brown!!!
Hats off to Mr Brown! It's not easy to do a cooking video after Ms Lori, the Pro! Not only educational but very inspirational.
Yes, All Blessings do come from Above! We shall not ever forget to be grateful to our Heavenly Father. Thank you!
I love watching Mr. Brown. I could listen to him talk all day. 👍
I made this for my fiancé last night! It vanished in less than 14 hours! Its going straight into my breakfast faves! Thank you!!
My nana made this bread frequently and called it "hoe cake". When I asked her how the name came about, she said because you could cook it on a hot hoe you've been using in the fields or gardens on the farm. Amazing how things were done two centuries ago, and still made now. I thank you for this video...I miss her terribly.
Hoe cakes were “cooked” by slaves back in the day out in the fields using cornbread and water mixed together into a patty and cooked in a hoe “blade” as a skillet over a small fire - hence the name
@@DawnDBoyerPhD they also were cooked on the blade of a hoe, left in the sun until very hot. My nanna told me that part.
@@DawnDBoyerPhD Have heard it being done with just plain flour and water in the Virginia's. With honey and butter.
We have made this so many times, we have a jar of molasses now, my grandfather would grow a field of Cain and make juice to boil out and make enough for the whole family to have a gallon each and he would sale the rest , they would mix butter and syrup together like Mr brown.
@@DawnDBoyerPhD yes. Corn meal for hoe cakes.
Oh, I love visiting with you two! My family lives in Georgia and watching you cook reminds me of them! We made many fried biscuit-like that or Cornbread! My Granny never cut the bread, She'd always say break yourself off a piece! I miss her so much! Thank you for the memories! There's nothing more special than good food and family!
We live in South Georgia.
I grew up in Donalsonville Ga.. We grew up on this.
Mr Brown, you took me back more than 50 years eating with my grandparents and great grandparents. Molasses mixed with butter. I can feel the window open with a breeze blowing and the radio going with "party line show" going. Thank you for the sweet memories! God bless!
Gma always made hoe cakes with White Lily SR ,a little salt and milk to make it a little thicker than pancake mix and cooked in bacon grease good and hot !! I still make it to this day !! So good !! I will try this too !!
Every time I use molasses, my mind flashes back to my early childhood. Daddy had a 55 gallon drum full of molasses in the barn. It lay on its side, with a spigot on it. Daddy would drizzle molasses over the cow's "chop" (ground-up corn and grain mixture) for extra nutrition. Well, I would lay down under that spigot, turn it on to the tiniest drizzle, and catch it in my mouth! We kids were practically raised in that dairy barn! My baby brother even had a crib there, it certainly was a family farm!
My dad had barrels of molasses also! We would take the syrup pitcher out and fill it up for the house.
I love to say i use mo’lasses, not less ‘lasses, lol.
My daddy always made this when I was a child. He would fix our breakfast if mother was sick. Always loved it.
My husband and I are not much younger than y’all and it’s funny how we have the same hopes and dreams for our future.
I was raised, and many generations before me right where we live today, in tidewater VA. Jamestown, to be precise. And yes, I can trace my ancestors when the came over several centuries ago.
As for biscuits and molasses, that was a staple in our home, particularly my nanny’s and it takes me back to some wonderful memories of my childhood.
Y’all are a true inspiration to us and your faith in the Lord!
God bless you!!!
My mother grew up in a holler in West Virginia. All the recipes on this channel remind me of my grandmother and my mother. My mom turns 88 this year and she still cooks Sunday dinner.
I grew up at the head of a holler in Boone county WV and still live in the same holler. My mommy used to make this for us when we were growing up. She called it Shanty bread. Don't know why though. It was great watching the video you dian excellent job explaining and cooking, thank you Sir, keep up the great job and as always Jesus gives new life to those who ask him for it. God bless.
I was a fourth generation logger and my mother used to make what she called "logging bread." In the old logging camps, they wouldn't waste time baking biscuits in circles. They'd just dump the batter in a big pan and cut it into squares when it was done. Good ol' days.
pone bread
@@bradscott3015*
My mom just spooned it in and it would tear appart. So good. I still don't like my briskets rolled. We called them drop biskets.
Bannock or spoon bread or pone. All about the same.
There's flitters too. All flitters are is wheat flour and water. Mixed into a dough and fried.
Confederate Soldiers used to make a corn bread dough, where it were thick enough to roll it into a long thin length and wrap it around their rifle ram rod and let it bake over the fire. They called it sloosh.
Love skillet bread...Y'all are such a beautiful couple inside and out. It is such a pleasure to watch y'all
Looks amazing and I love how humble he is and thankful for this bounty.
So blessed. Glad to find you sharing these wonderful recipes and your faith.
I remember my mother making this bread on a woodburning stove when I was very young child. Such wonderful memories.
Great job, Danny! My mother used to make skillet bread, and my siblings and I grew up eating molasses. As kids, one of our favorite ways to eat it was to poke a hole in a biscuit and fill it with molasses. I love watching the two of you! I grew up in this lifestyle and your show brings back so many wonderful memories. We grew and raised the majority of our food. My parents grew up during the Great Depression, and nothing went to waste! My mother canned everything and I can remember her making both grape hull and watermelon rind preserves. Many people have never heard of it! Lori and Danny, I love both of you! Thank you for sharing your lives, recipes, wisdom, and faith with us. May God bless you. ❤️🙏
~Love from North Carolina...
Me, too, but my grandmother died in childbirth with her eleventh baby so mom never learned to cook. But Mom and Dad grew up during the depression and we learned to grow our own food and raise chickens for eggs and eating. Good times. I know my Mom would love this channel as much as I do. I’ve learned good stick to your ribs cooking. I read about watermelon pickles and love making them summertime. Folks never tried them before and are amazed they come from rinds most people toss.
Y'all are the sweetest things I've ever seen!!! Brings sunshine to the darkest of days, thank you Jesus for this brother and sister!!
I’m so glad I found this recipe! My Dad used to make this! I asked him how to make it and he said it’s biscuit dough. He called it “whole cake”. My grandfather mixed butter and cane syrup. He showed us to put our pinkie in the side of a biscuit and pour syrup into it. This video has brought a lot of memories to mind. Thank you.
Ha I’m a London girl, and I’d watch your channel just to hear you and Mr Browns lovely accents, even if you didn’t make such lovely grub ha
You two take care of each other and God bless you xx
It doesn't always have to look great as long as it tastes great.
I’m sure we would love your accent also Lesley. Even reading you use grub is different from us in the south. And yes I agree that they do make lovely grub. Bless you from Alabama.👩🌾💛
@@apiecemaker1163 Ha ha yes there are many terms for food in England, nosh being another one..I just love Miss Lori and Mr Browns
accents, way of life..To me it seems as it should be, such a natural way of life, eating natural food and living off the land..
Here in England, very few people could live like that, mostly people have small gardens if at all...take care ..best wishes to you and yours..
@@lesleyrawlings4209 Thank you so much for you kind words and yes I agree with the Browns lifestyle being very desirable. While I live much the same here in Alabama, there is something that draws many of us to them and to their channel. Hope we get an opportunity to chat again in future videos. Happy gardening. 👩🌾☀️🌻
The american south is the closest english to England, I've heard linguists say.
Pa Brown says Ms Lori can make better bread. Ms Lori says Pa Brown can make better gravy. This is why these two make a great team! And a wonderful couple! :)
Biscuits and gravy you got a meal
That’s right we’ll said.
A Godly couple sweet and kind to each other that have lived through the hard times and good times through the longevity of their marriage..I love to hear them talking to each other as one of them is cooking and saying sweet things to each other ! Love y’all’s kind of cooking .. I cook the same kind too and feel blessed to have it as Mr Brown said we give God Thanks for everything! Blessings to you both!❤️
Delightful pair these two! After my own heart! My man was skilled at cooking beans and weanies, and tomato soup and crackers. It's a wonder he didn't have scurvy before I came along. I'm a scratch cook who loves flavor. I've been trying to teach him (for 17 years) how to cook something that is edible for both of us. I'm going to have him watch this and see what he comes up with! I can't watch the way he accomplishes it, just as long as he gets all the ingredients in. He stirs like a wussie, lol! I said "Beat those eggs, don't show them mercy!"
The tomato had vitamin c which prevented his scurvy. It’s also good for his prostrate health. Lol
This makes mw think of Mrs. Wilkes' Boarding House on W. Jones Ave. in Savannah, GA. What a joy sitting around a big tavle passing the serving dishes from one diner to the next. Such a treasure, and a reminder when single men or ladies could live in respectable boarding houses.
I have made this twice since I watched this video 3 days ago. Once I put garlic powder and basil in the mix and made it with mozzerella cheese in the center, and today I made it with "everything bagel" spices and cheddar cheese in the middle. My daughter and friend loved it! I think this is going to be a common bread made often! Its so easy the change the flavor and it takes no time at all to make! 😁
Wonderful idea of adding the spices to the dough. I was thinking about maybe a little sugar and cinnamon 4 really easy cinnamon rolls. Maybe dividing the dough into two parts and sprinkling cinnamon and sugar on the first layer so that the sugar doesn't burn. I didn't have any bacon grease but I do have a pound of bacon. I opened up the fat side at the end and sliced enough for my one person batch and smaller enamel skillet been strained out the little bacon pieces. I could have even put the bacon in the dough but mine got a little burnt. I'm cooking on a hot plate and neglected to watch it more closely. Oh dear now the dough has risen almost over the edge of my little skillet. Using a knife I just gently push the dough back into the skillet and put a bigger top with a higher Dome. The first time you do anything new you always learn a lot. Perfection comes with practice. Normally judge something done when I can smell it so I'll let my flour bread continue to cook. Also when I use my hot plate I just turn it all the way up and I'm not so good at judging where the lower settings are besides the fact that the markings have all worn off. I love using my stainless steel electric skillet for low temperature cooking but it's a little large for this application . No smell yet and it's been more than 20 minutes for sure. Maybe I should go see how the top feels. If it's not sticky at all maybe I'll be safe and turning it over. I can always use the plate trick by turning the pan over on a plate and then sliding the goodie back in. Back in a little bit. Well it didn't want to come out by itself so I ran a knife along the edge and use my spatula to loosen the bottom. It's really nice and brown and holds together very well when I use my spatula to put it back in. Since I didn't have any more bacon grease I just wiped the skillet down and added a little butter spreading it around the bottom and sides. I'll let it go at least 10 minutes can maybe get a little brown crusty on the top also. I'm glad that early on I turn my molasses jar upside down. It is only about a fourth of the way full and maybe I've had it for a long time so the expression slow as molasses applies for mine. Since it's winter my kitchen is on the cool side so I put the plate with molasses and butter in the microwave for a minute. The disadvantage of letting the bread get crusty is that when you try to quarter it in the pan the bottom part doesn't want to separate so I have ended up with about 50% crumbs. It's all edible but too much for me to finish at one time. One cup of flour made a whole plateful. Maybe in the morning I will add some Jam On Top, cover with Saran Wrap and reheat in the micro and also deal with the sink full of dishes I used to make my flour bread. I learned that you can't go by smell and there is such a thing as getting it to crusty. Next time I'm going to try adding sugar and cinnamon in the middle to suit my taste. I thoroughly enjoyed this little experiment and hope you enjoyed reading about it. So go try a new thing and have fun Ted
Edit to the above. I meant to say that it can get too crusty. And the very last word is not supposed to be there I don't know why Google translated. As a name.
You ruined the recipe by adding all those ingredients. But your recipe sounds delicious.
Thanks! I made it your way with the garlic powder and basil in the centre, It was flavourful and delicious!
Oh yummy, my MIL made this biscuit bread. Delicious. As Justin would say, "Ooo wee, I gar-on- tee..😉😁❤
How many saturday afternoons spent watching Justin…a lot.
L just cooked it an it delicious real good an be malasse an butter so good an the kids like it to Darlene stephens in dover fl
Loved watching Justin Wilson. I hardly ever say onion without adding Justin’s flair. I appreciate channels that run these old shows. Nothing really worth watching today, I gaur-on-tee! 😁 👍🏼
I’m literally almost crying! I’ve told my family about my Big Mama’s biscuit bread that she used to make and I’ve looked high and low for a “biscuit bread” recipe to no avail! I’m so excited to try this for my family!!
Where can we get recipe
@@suefoster9011 where to get recipe?
I like that idea. When we was growing up in the depression my mommer always said the same thing. Now we didn't have much during the depression but you know it was more than a lot of people had and we was thankful to the good lord for it. Now my daddy couldn't find a lot of work but he did the best he could and mommer would take in washing sometimes to make ends meet and her and daddy growed a garden and so we always had fresh vegetables, sometimes there werent' enough but we was always thankful, even when it was sad and depressing. That's what I remember about the depression, it was always sad and depressing. but we would invited family and friends over when we had enough and setting there at that table with all our friends around us we knowed everthang was gone be alright. We didn't want there to be no war because we loved everbody but then thangs got so bad that Franklin D. Roosevelt decided he was gone fight the depression for his people even though he was rich and the depression didn't hurt him he loved his people and everbody else enough he wanted everbody to overcome the depression and so he fought the depression and then he got together with Winston churchill and Joseph Stalin, two other great men and Winston Churchill had said that it weren't right for the Germans to be doing so well and not be in a depression because Hitler had put his people to work building and planting and so Winston Churchill decided he was gone kill the Notsies and Franklin D. Roosevelt decided he would kill the Notsies so they joined Joseph Stalin and started the war. Now that was bad but you know what. They was able to build a bomb plant and my daddy got him a job there making bombs for Winston Churchill to drop and burn up Notsy childern. And we was happy cause we was fightin evil people but not Joseph Stalin all them people he had killed deserved it. And all them Indians and Irish poeple Churchill had killed was evil. They was probably racists or something. And then Franklin D. Roosevelt finally defeated the Notsies and made the world safe for Jews and thats why America is such a happy place today. Thank you. I appreciate you letting me tell my stories on youtube/. Amen
Happy for you ,nothing like
finding someone who did what someone made long time back !
I made this and it is wonderful.
I love molasses with butter. My dad is the one that taught me this and we loved the times when we were able to get some really good molasses. And want to reiterate, that yes ,I thank God every single day that i and my husband have been very blessed to always be able to put food on my family’s table , by the grace of God and a lot of hard work. The moment I started to tear up in your video was at the end when you said the blessing💕. God bless you and your family.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you! Watching Mr. Brown is like watching my Grandpa, who passed many years ago, but I still remember him. You made me cry when you said, "the wonderful cook next to me." 😥😥 Love watching you two!!
Our tribal members make a version of this that we call "flour bread." I absolutely love it. We "sop" molasses and butter with it.
My granni made this and that is what we called it..love to see your version too🥰
Sounds good! I'll have try that! 😁
We call it flour bread also I use sour cream instead of butter milk an make dough dry like making homemade biscuits an bacon grease is the best taste to cook it in 100 percent👨🏼🍳😀👍🏼
@@daddyanddaughterduoscookin3599 I could eat some right now, LOL, with some molasses!
What tribe im Cherokee.
My grandpa used to make this. I never knew the recipe until today. My Pop has been in heaven for over 30 years. I look forward to sharing this with my sister. Thank you!!
I do so enjoy seeing all of your shows. I am 84 and remember a lot of what you talk about. Brings back beautiful memories.
Basically a giant biscuit! An old friend of mine, ( that's passed on) his mother use to make this for us on Saturday morning before we went to work
My momma used to make this. I never had her recipe (but I do have her old cast iron skillet). She's make this on her wood stove and we'd normally have it with pinto beans and fried potatoes for supper. I'm so glad you've taken the time to explain about the types of molasses. Thank you for sharing the recipe and technique.
Omg. Pinto beans. Yessssssss
My Father in law used to make his “corn pone” like this and we had it with butter and “lasses”. Many times😊
Yum yum !
Having just used this skillet for the first time, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxIst1DRMCWM6dgd9VjXMFXlH4HeElE6Mc to batter-fry some macaroni & cheese, I'm absolutely in love with it. The foldaway design means it actually fits in my very small kitchen, but it also makes everything crazy simple to clean. While the instructions say you should not deep fry in this, you can, but do it with your best judgment; in my case the oil didn't even reach the halfway mark.It's hard to see in the pictures, but the skillet itself has a lip in the corner. This allows steam to get out during cooking if the lid is on (so don't try to steam rice in it), and makes pouring out used oil extremely easy.Cleanup was a dream. After detaching the plug and control circuit, the unit is just three separate pieces: The skillet itself, the lid, and the base which may or may not need any cleaning at all (usually just the handles). Compared to a dedicated deep fryer I purchased in the past, where the heating element was suspended in the oil and everything was difficult to clean, the difference was amazing.I'm definitely looking forward to using this for more things in the future.
Bread is so strong in my culture (German) that I enjoy watching this preparation a lot.
My dad used to make his butter like that, always adding a bit of honey to the molasses, probably to make it more palatable for all the kids. I think he would sometimes add a dob of blackstrap molasses to it, as well. He would use a similar mixture to make us fried apples and sausage after we had made a trip to the orchard. Great memories. Thanks!!
I made this last night!! DELICIOUS! We had it with a pot of beans cooked with a ham hock. I baked mine in the oven and flipped it about halfway through. It was so toasty on both sids. Thanks for sharing this!
That looks so good! I'm going to try it tomorrow, after I throw the cow, over the fence, some hay. I gar-on-tee!
My mom used to fry bread dough in smaller pieces and it was so good. Buttery and a little bit of salt. Best thing ever. God Bless.
This is one of my favorite episodes. It was wonderful seeing Mr. Brown cook this recipe-I’m going to try it soon. “All blessings come from Him.” 🙏🏼 Well said, Mr. Brown!
My Granny made this every day. She would cook a big meal each day and make skillet bread to go with supper leftovers. A thumbs up for Mr. Brown, good job.
My Granny did too. She made every morning and was eaten with meals or as a snack. She also served with her canned fruit preserves; apple, peaches or strawberry. Delicious!
I really love your videos. The commentary is just as good as the recipes. ♡
Bless this MAN!
I love this bread!! My mommy used to make bread like this and we called it “dough bread”. I guess because it was made from biscuit dough, but that’s what us kids called it. God bless you Mr. Brown and Miss Lori and thank you once again for the memory.❤️
My mom called it dough gads, which she said was like an English muffin.
I made this again today for breakfast! I used corn meal and flour and plain organic yogurt....in the center was mozzerella cheese....Oh my yummy! Thank you for sharing your recipies, I doubt I will be buying bread much anymore! Hugs to both of you! God is GOOD!😁🎶🇺🇸
How fun to see Mr. Brown cooking. He’s such a good man Lori. He loves the Lord and he sure loves you. I never made skillet bread, so I need to try. Enjoy y’all’s weekend. God bless you both.
My Dad made this bread all my life. Along with drop biscuits. He was a great cook.
I get so much joy taking a regular bag of flour and turning it into warm biscuits, sour dough bread and pancakes. I can't wait to try this! Thanks for the recipe!
I remember the molasses at my grandparent's house used to come in a big can, it had a top like a paint can that you would pop out with a butter knife. That was the real deal!
That was one of my Dads' favorites
Sorghum molasses I grew up eating it so good.
I'm 64 and I remember my grandfather used molasses in a can. I sure missed him, he passed many years ago.
“i’m glad for y’all to see me” Justin Wilson . We watched those shows for several years.
Me too. Miss that old guy.
"How y'all are"..."Don't dat purdy!" I could listen to him talk all day.
Got to meet Justin..he was a great southern gentleman.....and a great cook!
@@jeanninethames619 I did too. He was very pleasant and down to earth!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. So many of the old time ones are being lost in the wind. I'm sure some of the younger viewers will be inspired by this delicious bread. God bless.
The man- Mr. Brown you did a great job, I remember eating a lot of this growing up. We eat this with cow butter and fresh bacon. Amen God is a loving God he has thought us to live on a bean and tater diet, and to read the word of God everyday.
Oh yeah .. BACON!!!
What a sweet couple you are. I love the love & respect that you have for each other. I love seeing men in the kitchen cooking. That skillet biscuit bread looks delish. I just might have to cook me up some of it. 😋
Oh, I loved everything about this video! The bread looks delicious and it’s really quite simple to make! Can’t wait to try it. But this was just truly a blessing to find overall! Thank you!
I remember when we drank our coffee in a cup and saucer. Good hot coffee, strong if perked coffee was too hot, we poured it in the saucer to cool and drank from there. We used to laugh if the cup stuck to the saucer because it was strong. lol now I drink mine in a steel 19 oz glass. We called it hobo coffee, daddy called it that. Boiled coffee in a pot, let it settle then pour. We had hocakes in the fireplace, took baths in front of the fire dried , Jamie’s on, ran up stairs to the bed covered in a ton of homemade quilts, our fireplace warming up the frozen room, with sisters snuggling together. Great memories, we may be going back to that in our children’s future.
I love this bread and made it often when I was raising my kids. I didn't use butter or buttermilk, but instead, I used veggie oil or Crisco and sweet milk, and I cooked mine in the oven. It was so good when buttered with syrup, preserves, or gravy. I have also cooked it on top of the stove when my oven was torn up, plus cornbread. Living in Alabama, we called it a Hoe Cake. Thanks for the memory. It looks good enough to eat, good job Pa Brown. Thumbs up.
@Brenda Bear would mind sharing your recipe?
@@athomewithmelissa I'm sorry Melissa, it's been a really long time since I've made it. I made it when I was raising my kids. It was about like pancake batter but just a little thicker. I just made the batter like biscuit doe, but just a little thinner so you can stir it with a spoon then I poured it into the pan. I greased the iron skillet and got it hot then poured it all in. I then cooked it in the oven at 450 degrees until brown and the toothpick came out clean. I hope that helped you just a little.
I'm an Alabama girl too, I cooked almost everything my family ate for 20 plus years.
@@diannegordon7393 I'm glad to greet you. We may have to bring back some of the old cheap recipes from the past where we didn't have to use too many ingredients but just what we had. lol
And God bless you Mr Brown and Miss Lori….you’re a blessing to all of us!
I just want to pull up a chair at your table and listen to your stories all day. And sample your cooking of course!❣️
Im 73 and this bread is delicious so easy for me to make. I never could make bisquits and to much trouble... My brother loves this too... Thanku so much... Gets harder to cook when u get old this is easy... Yall have some more recipes i wanna try.. May God bless yall
I grew up in southwest Virginia eating this, and we called it pone bread. Pone bread, gravy, scrambled eggs and sometimes bacon or sausage and breakfast was on. Good memories.
My grandfather would make the best " Pone Bread" ty Now i have the recipe !!!!
Simple and rib stickin good.
Justin Wilson brings back a lot of memories. My husband, he’s been gone 10 yrs now, and I used to always watch Justin Wilson for many years. I can hear him exclaim all his Louisiana slang talk. He was funny & a great cook. Thanks for the memories. ♥️ You seem to be a pretty good cook too!!!
My husband and I really enjoyed his show. My husband was killed in a logging accident 30 yrs ago. He was 38 and I was 33. We were country/mountain folks. I still am. Love that old timey cooking.
My mom used to watch him cook also
She loved “ I Guarantee “
Brings back nice memories ty🙏
My daddy just loved Justin Wilson. This video gave me a huge smile. Thank you.
I just love the music you have for your intro. It’s so relaxing, comforting, and worshipful of Jesus. My Mamaw and my Mama always made biscuits in cast iron. I need to get back to that. It makes all the difference. I loved watching Justin Wilson! God bless you both!♥️
This brings back so many memories of when i was a kid. My dad would make this every Sunday morning except he cooked his in a wood stove oven.
Y’all are such a blessing and testimony to us. Thank you so much for pouring so much joy and love into your channel. Blessings to you as well.
I tried skillet bread when I was much younger when we lived in northern Florida. I really liked it and have been looking for the recipe. Can't wait to try making it for my family!
