Cornbread is one of those really interesting dishes that says a lot for such a simple concept. Cornmeal used to be known as Indian meal, because it was already in common use when europeans landed. Indigenous people showed colonists to make cornbread for survival, but it was a very different kind of bread than we would recognize as cornbread today. As a class of landowners developed, cornbread was seen as a poor man's food, commonly consumed by poor white and free black subsistence farmers, and those individuals held captive in chattle slavery. It was a way to get good quick and cheap energy. Anyone who could afford to eat bread made from wheat did so, because it was seen as the more sophisticated thing to consume. Typically, before grist mills became industrialized, cornmeal could only be purchased during corn harvest, and usually it was the white corn variety. This corn was very sweet. After industrialization, corn was turned into meal before it had a chance to ripen; it is with that change we begin to see sugar being added to cornbread. People sometimes feel very strongly about sugar in cornbread, but i think about 2-4 tablespoons probably makes it taste more authentic. Loved the video, sorry for the corny rant!!
Aight now!! I make my cornbread the exact same way almost. I never thought about pre-heating “Hattie-Mae”, that’s my cast iron skillet that is seasoned to the gods lol! I will try that now. Thanks for the tip!
I have so many types of cast iron cookware (& some stainless). For Me the best to cook in\on. I need to *_name_* My iron Family heirlooms and My newer iron babies.
OMG I tried your recipe for New Year's Day dinner 2023 and it was off da chain! It went perfectly with my chitlins and blackeyed peas! My wife and I don't normally eat a lot of bread except for holidays but we finished your cornbread in 3 days. I will definitely be using this recipe again! Keep up the good work!
Camirra, I LOVE how you always give a reference to God such as "Jesus loves you and so do I" Keep doing that...this world needs to hear and see more of Jesus! Bless you for not being ashamed of who HE is to you! Moreover, I'm definitely making this cornbread when I make my smothered cabbages. As always, thanks again, sis for the recipes and the positive Godly inspiration! :)
❤ Big Up yourself 👑👩🏾🍳 Ive watched this so mamy times & now my Mum wants me to show her how to make Cornbread 😋. Thanks 🤗 Nuff love manners respect & Blessings from London 🇬🇧🇯🇲
I never made cornbread before, I always wanted to try. I made this cornbread with the 1/4 cup of light brown sugar. It was the BEST cornbread ever,so good I could eat it by itself . I don’t want no other recipe but this one. Thank you so much for posting this.🙏
@@hpayton2 That’s your opinion, it’s not a fact . I love this cornbread and I’m sure others do too with chili. It’s perfect for me. This girl can cook circles around you. You’re probably just jealous.
New to Your channel & new subscriber & I love the food You cooked. I always say there aren't really any rules to cooking EXCEPT FOR BEING CLEAN & NOT DOUBLE DIPPING WITH UTENSILS. What got Me to continue watching Your Videos was seeing just how clean & sanitary You are. No Rules is to be as creative as one wants to be, bringing a new twist\trick to Soul Food {or any style cusine}. I don't eat pork for nearly 15 years. I do eat Beef bacon & spicy beef sausages. Renders about as much grease as pork. I will try My homemade cornbread same as Yours but with *_Beef Grease._* Thanks
Yes ma’am!!! Love all this. Especially with that bacon grease. I do that too. I call it dirty cornbread 😂 if you don’t have a jar of grease already (like a good southern woman should) you can just cook up bacon in the pan first, remove the strips, and pour the batter on top of the grease.
Hi!! My Name is Lucretia and I would like to see How do you make a Fried RIBS. It looks good and I am wanting to try to fixed it going by your recipe, I'm pretty sure others would like to see this delicious work that you've showing all the Southern Cooking. I'm Southern bound myself from TN. JACKSON,TN. That is in between Memphis and Nashville. Thanks Again!!!!
Yesss Camirra, your recipes ARE LEGIT!🤗❤️❤️😋, I made this cornbread, yo green beans, yams and I'm about to make your brown shuga swirled honey butta cornbread cause this is almost gone! Thank you and I and my family Love you too!😘❤️💯
My mom would use lard instead of butter and fatback grease instead of bacon grease. Other than that it's pretty much the same, maybe not as much sugar. Cornbread and pinto beans, cornbread and milk, cornbread and collard greens, it's all good.
I can watch all your videos.im from new Orleans Louisiana and I cook like this as well.. but I still love to listen n watch you cook cuz I still always learn something stuff we do different.... and omg gotta have that lard lmao.. OMG Yes..I think you my family. We just ain't met yet. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪..omg I just love how you put the love in the food cuz that's definitely what southern food is..❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽
I'm a huge fan,C. Thank you for always including our Saviour Jesus Christ in your videos. YOUR recipes I will keep! Thank you, beautiful sister in Christ.
Your recipes are incredible. I would love to make this cornbread with the family Sunday dinner. This Texas girl is grateful, thank you for sharing this! Looks beautiful
Camirra!!! I just today came across your fried chicken meal and WOW!!! Invite me to supper at your house!!! Kidding. Lol. Can't wait to make this cornbread AND chicken and mac and cheese and sweet potatoes!!!
Girl watching your videos makes me hungry 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 I used to be able to eat this kind of food but I started experiencing inflammation and digestive issues… I miss the foods I grew up eating! Now I can’t have or it will not agree with my digestive system . Smh 🤦🏽♀️
An an Aussie I enjoyed the cornbread I had in my trip to the US.

yes you can! polenta is just cornmeal! i have alot of Aussie viewer which i find funny. I never thought i would get an audience from the land down under! Welcome! ❤
when subbing with these ingrediesnts i just use equal amounts. so if i sub milk for buttermilk I use the sam amount. same with sour cream. sub the same amount buttermilk for sour cream.
@@jewelyoung3372 I have used Coconut oil refined & unrefined, You will have a mild coconut flavor using unrefined. Also, yes You can use aluminum, however, I suggest to line the pan with parchment paper to help prevent aluminum from leeching in the food. Reason I suggest this is due to Aluminum is toxic for the body & brain. There will be those in disagreement, okay by Me. I use Aluminum foil, I always keep it from contacting My food. Bake\Cook in what You want, My cookware of choice is cast iron, stainless steel and bakeware glass (Pyrex), never anything nonstick, that's toxic as well.
Can you cook fried cornbread? If not.then you've never eaten real cornbread. I never had baked cornbread until I was in my 30's. If you never had it fried then you don't know what you're missing!!!
Did you all get the self rising yellow corn meal or just regular corn meal, because everything added to it will already make it rise. I just need to confirm before I start. 😊
@Camirra's Kitchen thank you. Nobody around has the MSG (Accent) or the Maggi Seasoning. Any suggestions? I’m doing the whole meal tomorrow but prepping my chicken this evening.

Looks real good
hello my sister, thank you. this looks delicious.
Gotta try
Great job Nicey
when substituting the buttermilk how much sour cream and milk should I use
when subbing with these ingrediesnts i just use equal amounts. so if i sub milk for buttermilk I use the sam amount. same with sour cream. sub the same amount buttermilk for sour cream.
Wonderful
Cornbread shouldn't have sugar and shouldn't be mixed that much. It needs to be mixed like muffin batter. Also prefer bacon drippings to butter.
adjust the recipe as you like
@@CamirrasKitchen I use my mother's which she got from her mother.
@@HRHGuinevereUse your mother’s recipe then , don’t come on someone’s page telling them how to make their cornbread and how its wrong.
Suppose I don't have bacon grease can I use olive oil
I would suggest butter as an alternative. I dont think the flavor of olive oil would match. last resort would be vegetable oil.
Can I use a aluminum pan if I don't have a skillet

Mine was regular cornmeal then I added the baking powder

you can just leave it out and salt to taste! should still taste great!
@Camirra's Kitchen thank you for responding! I’m sure it will turn out to be delicious! Have a blessed Sunday!
Is it all purpose or self rising flour?
all purpose
Crustification! 😂😂😂
This turns out nasty every time I make it. I guess it depends on the cornmeal. What brand do you use?
Ouch!
Looks like the smokin
hot pan scorched the wood counter
oh no its a cutting board! it was totally fine
My lord!!!!
Amen call on Him! haha
