My late hubby was born & raised in Jackson, MS and first time I made him cornbread from scratch he said, "Honey this cornbread is sweet", I replied, yep I put sugar on the top of it...well he ate that cornbread because the guy loved me so much, from then on out I made it for him w/o the sugar.....Cause I loved him.
I'm a Mississippi Gal myself. I grew up without sugar in my cornbread. But I do put about 2T of sugar in my cornbread. You really can't taste it tho. I make my cornbread from scratch with some homemade soup.....Have Mercy!!!
From southern Alabama here: My wife’s grandma’s corn bread recipe was corn meal and water, fried in bacon grease (in a cast iron skillet, of course), crisp on the outside, done on the inside. Served piping hot with butter. Great!
That's good too we call them corn bread fritters and so delicious and fast when you are hungry.....and don't want to wait till the cornbread bakes.....
The quality of your videos are on par with high production tv. For you to push them out 'almost' weekly is impressive. Thanks . You put joy ( I'm sure not only me) into my day.
thelen72 Wow. Thank you. That's one of the best comments I've received. I'm just learning video production and TH-cam in general, so I hope my videos get even better. I'm a "cord cutter" that dumped cable for streaming. The thing I missed most was cooking shows. I spent my early adult life watching Food Network and PBS cooking shows non-stop. Not the 2010's Food Network-style reality competition shows, but the old-school Food Network shows like Alton Brown and Mario Batali and Sarah Molton. After cutting the cord, I found I wasn't watching much "regular" tv, but I missed those half-hour shows of information and just COOKING. So, I decided to get off my fat butt and start making my own! I figured if *I* liked watching someone cook for a half hour, then maybe other folks did, too. Even if I never make the recipes, engrossing myself in low carb media keeps me focused on my goals of eating well and improving my health. So I started this channel. And comments like yours make it so worth while. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤️❤️❤️😍🙏🙏
I was so happy when you said, "Southern cornbread is not sweet." I have told so many people over the years, but they seem to think Jiffy is the pinnacle of cornbread lol
“Sweet cornbread is called cake.” “Cornbread should be made in a cast iron skillet so the butter can fry the outside.” You, sir, are a true Southerner who was raised right. I’m definitely going to try that last recipe.
Yes, we'll done!! Honest reporting, exploring!! ;) I have recently started trying keto and one of my first explorations was wraps. I told my dad all the recipes I tried were essentially crepes!! That eggy taste.. I enjoy eggs but guys come on.. egg on egg on egg.. not for me. Rather just have eggs. Haha!! Look forward to exploring more on your channel. I keep a kosher diet so the last recipe, which I knew would win, is one I can't make. BUT you really sped up my time to play with the best components of these and work with the combos I can have. This was my first time here. Am grateful for your work and look forward to sharing more!! Hatzlacha!! (Success!!)
I am new to both low carb and your TH-cam channel. Super glad that I found you. I especially appreciate your honesty when reviewing a recipe. Your not afraid to give your opinion. Looking forward to binge watching more of your videos.
Aww, well we still love you regardless, Shawna! LOL Lots of folks like sweet corn muffins... you're actually probably in the majority! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Midwesterner here and I live for sweet cornbread and so does most of my friends as well. I found a recipe for a honey buttermilk cornbread that is to die for. I will really miss it when I start keto.
It was a romantic moment for me when you were describing skillet cornbread. When you said" put the bacon fat in the skillet, pour the batter in, and listen to it sizzle." I blushed, and nearly fainted again. 🌽🍞❤
I JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL!!! And boy oh boy am I addicted!!! I have binged on this today crazy!!! LOVE you!!! You are funny and charismatic and sweet! Can’t wait to try some of these recipes!!!
That was definitely the direction I anticipated going, but I honestly much preferred the texture of the protein-powder version. I'm definitely going to try your idea for making cornbread for cornbread dressing! Thanks as always for commenting, Christian! If you decide to try the altered version you mentioned, come back and let me know what you thought!
The less extravagant items per recipe the better. I have spent SO much money on all these ingredients, and every time I turn around, a recipe calls for yet ANOTHER expensive ingredient. I'd love to see a recipe book that ONLY uses the basics, like the first two recipes you prepared. And yes, southern cornbread is NOT sweet! Great videos, by the way!!!
I agree.! I am so tired of ordering weird stuff from Amazon! You can never get all the ingredients! I can't even find the stuff I have because there so much crap. Just when you think you have every baking ingredient know to man somebody puts our a keto recipe with Lupin Flour.
@nativetexan53 Amen... I had to empty my biggest, deepest cupboard just my personal Keto ingredients, as they've taken over & the family is all please, please make a home for them bc we're tired of seeing them everywhere... Everything else had to be relegated back into our main pantry, otherwise it would have had to have been tossed out for lack of room... Keto is taking over our space, & it feels like it's never ending!!
@frankschwartz7405 LOL... we're literally making separate meals for just me at this point, bc my carb threshold is so low. It's frustrating to eat differently than everyone else for every single meal, even if what I'm eating might be similar... it just takes so much time. I find myself eating the same darn thing over & over again, bc I can just batch/bulk cook it once a wk, portion it out, & reheat it without thought. There might not be a lot of variety each wk, but it's easier... I'm also kind of a creature of habit, so I'll get on a kick for one flavor profile & be able to eat it for several months b4 I'm sick of it, luckily enough. So far, I haven't burnt myself out of any of my favorites... 11 months & counting!
Absolutely love your channel. Have been on keto for 4 weeks and it's great to know that I can enjoy foods that I love by following recipes like this. Keep it up!
I just happen to be watching this video for the first time on Father's Day 2021. I was born and raised just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. My parents loved and prepared cornbread all of the time. My dad was born during WW2. I distinctly remember that he loved to put cornbread into a tall glass and pour buttermilk over it. To him, it was a treat. 😊
My daddy did the same thing. Sometimes he used regular milk if we had no buttermilk. This was a late night snack for him. This brought back memories. 🥰
I found a much cheaper extract on Amazon for us broke folks! Its called One on One Flavors: Cornbread flavor concentrate! Its $9.99 for a 2oz bottle and only takes a few drops for a batch of keto cornbread.
Thanks for sharing! They sent me a bottle to test shortly after I filmed this video and this reminds me that I must have stuck it in the cabinet and forgot about it! I’ll pull it out and give it a go! Certainly cheaper than the Amoretti!
That didn't come up when I bought mine, which was before I saw this video, in fact, many years before, because I was buying this stuff when it was being manufactured by another company. It was even more expensive then.
Just beware....of cheaper knock-offs....Bobby Flav. City (if you know who he is) He is great chef and researches all his approved products....say don't buy anything that has Natural Flavor added.....!!! not approved by the best....check him out.....
I know that this is a pretty old video ... but you can make the pork rinds and corn extract recipe and cook it in a larger cast iron skillet. I do it all the time and it turns out amazing! You get that traditional sizzle AND you get the "crust". It's amazing.
I'm a Mississippi girl and sugar in cornbread is a no-no. We refer to that as sweetbread, not cornbread. I've always made my cornbread in a cast iron skillet coated in a layer of bacon grease. You can throw in some diced yellow squash for color and to fool some people who like corn in theirs(such as my husband). Shoot, jazz it up even further and add a little diced jalapeno, onion, and shredded cheese.
This is one of my favorite videos, Wesley! I love jalapeno corn bread as well.I like your idea of combining the best of each of these recipes! No sugar or coconut with chopped baby corn for texture, sweet corn extract for taste and pork rinds. Plus, I would try using that extract in all corn recipes.
Okay now, lol. I was born in TX and sweet cornbread and red beans or sweet cornbread and black eyed peas was a must growing up. I still add a tiny bit of sweetener. It should be savory sweet. Not cake or cookie sweet.
Sugar simply overpowers the corn flavor of corn bread. I can remember my first wife getting a glass of iced tea and then pouring in sugar until the glass was at least one third sugar and then trying to stir it in. Kind of like tea flavored sugar. I still cringe today fifty years later. I haven't put sugar in tea or coffee since I was a kid. If you avoid sugar then foods start to taste like the food should taste.
I adore your personality. I actually stopped looking at cooking shows years ago because I felt like I was watching my job. However, I think you are so wonderful and authentic. I truly hope a network picks you up.
Honey, you are just the sweetest thing. You've got the brightest personality and that gentlemenly honesty. You earned yourself a subacriber. Keep it comin' darlin.
You are an awesome presenter. So glad I found a site which reviews recipes, since this obviously saves time and money. Also learned from the commenters in this thread. Thanks and keep up the good work!
I'm a southern girl and I couldn't agree more about the sweet corn bread. My daddy called that Johnny Cake. And it's hilarious how you snurl your nose every time you say "sweetener". 😂
I love your channel and watch your videos for many reasons, and one is that I am dealing with anxiety and stress and your voice and the high quality of your productions totally calms me down and puts me in a different world...thank you.
Thank you for stopping by to let me know that. I have my favorite creators that are my “go-to” when I just want something on in the background to keep me calm. It makes me happy to know you think that way of my channel. Wishing you a wonderful New Year of peace and tranquility. XOXO -wes
Hi Wes, I am also definitely engaged and interested in your wonderful content too :-) You help keep ME on track in my low carb journey as well. I gotta try those grits with the cheese, they look amazing. Oh, and I am married to a Tennessee boy who's paternal family hails from Ackerman, MS!! xox Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. @@HighfalutinLowCarb
I just watched your bread and cornbread shows. I love your show! You are very entertaining. I am on Keto a diet. I was missing breads so I decided to check recipes out. I appreciate you trying them out first.
For sure.....but if you use buttermilk you need to add a little of something sweet to off set the sour milk....I use about a half-tsp. only....and it is not sweet at all.....
Thank you! While on rare occasions I enjoy a sweet "corn bread", that is not my idea of real Southern corn bread. I grew up here in Georgia with my Mama making it like you said, in that hot greased cast iron skillet and getting that amazing crust! Not much better than a hot, buttered piece right out of the oven. :-) Love your videos.
“Not much better...” I agree! Unless it’s a piece for breakfast the next day, split and buttered and browned in the skillet and then drizzled with syrup. Mmmm...
I just made corn muffins. I used corn meal, almond flour, stevia,baking powder, coconut oil, egg, salt, one percent milk... they rose up well, hold together well and taste great.
You are so right. Corn bread is never sweet. Thank you for the comparison recipes. This Texas girl misses her corn bread on keto. Can't wait to experiment with a combination of these! Love you, Love your videos!
Took the cornbread recipe from OOO Cornbread Flavors box and added that great idea of roasted baby corn bits and OMG! It took me back to pre-keto SaraLee Corn muffins, in the best possible way. Thank you for making everything seem do-able and for your great on-screen personality. I'm afraid to watch your "update" video because I'm afraid you might change direction, but I would love to see more from you! Taste tests. Shopping. Whatever you do...I'm there! Love you!
Hi Wes. I just made the almond flour corn bread with the added mashed baby corns. Yummy. I also substituted the water for all the corn liquid from the can of baby corn. Yummy. It's really corn flavour. I don't need the corn flavouring extract. Thanks again.
I am new to your channel but will be a regular from now on. Have already shared you with friends and family!! Love your videos, appreciate the honesty and tips and I too think you should be on the Food Network with your own show for Low Carb - Keto community. (I may write them a letter) Kudos to your for changing your lifestyle and helping others. I am 66 and a pretty good cook but can still learn a TON from you! Besides, I so enjoy your humor and presentation.
Definitely making the Baby Corn Bread. Great tips, especially using cast iron skillet with butter on the bottom. My southern grandmothers both added bacon fat & melted butter to the batter. Yum! 😋
When I first moved to NYC from Mississippi, I remember being thrilled when i found that the bodega across the street from my workplace had individual servings of cornbread, wrapped and ready to go. I bought one for a snack and, when I bit into it, was horrified. It was sweet! GAG! What was worse, no matter where I went in the city, anyplace that served cornbread served the sweet stuff. Slap a bit of frosting on it with a small candle and it would have been perfect for a birthday party. I did find one restaurant that made it "Southern Style," after a while, so I was safe.
yeah, I was born and raised in the Western United States and we didn't really have Southern cornbread- my mom made what she called "Johnnycake" and every once in awhile she would include chopped up fried bacon in the batter and cooked it in with the cornbread but it was a little bit sweet- so you guys are right about that- depends on the area of the country you're from what type of cornbread you actually grew up with- I would like to try the Savory kind but I think I'll always enjoy Johnnycake as well ;)
We always enjoy your comparisons. My folks were from the south and we never had cornbread with sugar in it. I enjoy your southern humor. It reminds me of all of my family that lived in the south. I even caught your "peep eye", lol. It's been years since I heard that phrase. I do like grinding up pork rinds and combining them with parmesan cheese and using them as bread crumbs or in place of crushed crackers in meatballs or even meatloaf. I will try them all, but I am sure I will enjoy the one with pork rinds if I can afford the extract. lol
AtHomeWithMisty Oh my gosh! Big fan and subscriber here! Love your channel. And yes - NO. SWEET. CORNBREAD, plz! Thanks for watching and commenting, Misty! ❤️❤️
Really?!? Oh my word, I'm flattered :) I had to make my low carb biscuit recipe today after watching your battle video! Can you figure out a way to make beans low carb so we can enjoy them with some corn bread and fried potatoes? lol Ugh. carbs. Why are they so good? Keep up the great work :)
PS: I always use a hot cast iron skillet and heat the bacon grease in it as the oven is preheating so the outside is nice and crispy...the next day my west Texas born husband of almost 39 years, eats some of the leftover cornbread in either sweet milk or buttermilk neither of which would I touch unless I was starving....and, again, to a recipe of cornbread batter to fill a 9” cast iron skillet, I only use about 2 Tbsps. of sugar and it has never been compared to cake.
Im in love with your personality! Great content. Made me happy to see a notification from you! Im a new subbie :) Next time how about keto donut comparisons? Bacon maple...cream filled...chocolate? Eh just a thought! 😘😘
That flavoring is the bomb, isn’t it? I have one in my pantry and it smells so delicious, and it actually makes low-carb cornbread tastes like cornbread! By the way, you are the funniest! I crack up when I watch your videos. 😂 This is your third video that I watched and I had to subscribe!
You are so right! Southern cornbread is not sweet and cast iron skillet in my family too! However, you can't tell my husband that. He loves his cornbread a little sweet. I'm from Tennessee and we never put sugar in our cornbread, but my husband grew up in Texas and his Mother put a little sugar in her cornbread and he loves it like that! I really enjoy watching you cook and your comments are hilarious! You do need your own show on the Food Channel! Keep the videos coming - love you!
No beans in your chili AND sugar in your cornbread?? No wonder folks say Texas ain’t part of the South! LOL. (I kid, I kid!) 😜 Thanks for watching and commenting, April!
Baby corns make the best cornbread used with almond flour with pork rinds. It hasn't developed the sugar/carb content, yet has the taste of corn. Don't forget to brown the crust in cast iron.
Hi Wes! I just discovered you and I ❤️ you. I am making my slowly through all o f your videos and I have made 3 recipes from your battles. All were winners: chocolate cake, French fries and the latest cornbread. Oh my word! They were all better than the next. You have my confidence 💯. Just so you know, I got sizzle when I dropped my cornbread batter in the dishes. I left them in the oven longer than 5 minutes. Because I am like you....that sizzle is everything! I wish I could send you a picture. They came out perfect. Added some chopped jalapeños to mine though since I like it spicy... Stay well and thank you for the service you are doing... Totally appreciated!!
Amen brother about the sweet cornbread.. Sugar doesn't belong in cornbread.. Love the video!! I just subscribed and I'm excited to see what is coming!!
Hi SAH, wait a minute, I was born in Rhode island and always heard those "Southerners" added sugar to their cornbread, and we Northeasters didn't. Fran
Ummm, I’m Southern born & bred (Georgia) as are all my family. Everyone puts sugar in it, so... maybe it’s a state to state thing? Not a lot. My grandma from Alabama put less than my Florida grandma but still sugar. Definitely use the cast iron though. Heat the oil in the pan while mixing the rest of the ingredients & then pour hot oil in last, just prior to adding mixture to pan. And nobody put actual corn kernels in there. Gross! 😄
BZT WRONG we eat it in Georgia too lol we like our cornbread sweet just like we like our sweet tea sweet most Southern states don't make their tea sweet enough lol. Boyfriend is Canadian and they don't use sugar so I think he has it backwards.
I cook cornbread almost every day. Sometimes I cook multiple pans. I like it plain, fancy, thin, thick, baked and pan fried. I LOVE cornbread and buttermilk.
Would love to see you one Food Network. I think I would watch it every time it came on. Thanks for your videos. Good you try all the low carb foods for us before we have to make the mistake. Thanks
Hi, the dietitian said one can eat Baby corn on keto. She said: " An entire 15 oz. can is only 8g of carbohydrates, but contains 6g of fiber and 4g of protein." I was soooo happy to hear that. So go ahead and ENJOY.
Ok, so after watching this I ordered the corn extract from Amoretti's site...came out to $20.20 incl. shipping, using the 35% coupon code you get for signing up to their newsletter. About 6 bucks less than Amazon's total!
I’m really enjoying your videos !! I’m just in my first week of starting the Keto diet and I’ve seen so many recipes out there on the web. Your videos really help me decide on which one I would prefer to choose based on all of your really detailed reviews. Plus you’re so entertaining! Subscribed and a new fan ! 🤗
Just found you and love you already! I'm with you on the anti-sweetening in cornbread and rofl everytime your lip curls. Heading over to binge watch more of your videos :)
Doesn't adding corn sort of defeat the low carb diet? I thought corn is a high carb grain and can spike blood sugar? Or is there a way to prevent the spike?
Wow, thank you! I made the one from Fluffy chicks as soon as my corn flavor arrived from Amazon and followed the recipe and just added 2 drops of butter extract. Not only did me and hubby love it, our 8 yr old grandson asked for more! Thanks again, you rock. And this Yankee agrees with you, cornbread is NOT sweet! LOL. Have a good holiday season.
I want to try the 3rd one, that looks great! I tried Dennis's fake cornbread recipe on his Black Tie Kitchen channel, it was excellent. He also uses Amoretti. I have a less expensive corn flavoring that I used. It takes more, but it's still pretty good. Dennis's recipe uses a small amount of allulose, (not enough to make it sweet, but it helps keep it moist) and bakes it in a cast iron skillet. I was amazed that I have one that fits in my countertop oven. My real oven is broken, that's all I have for now. I like sweet corn bread, (call it cake, I don't care!) and added extra allulose, and it still barely tasted sweet to me. So you might like his.
Have you tried fried chicken with the protein isolate? OMG best fried chicken i have ever had. Marinate the chicken pieces in pickle juice over night and you have a winner winner chicken dinner.
Kristin Clarke SHADANG! Yes, I can't wait to try the fried chicken. I also see it often used for fried seafood and fish as well! But I'm MORE intrigued with your recommendation of a pickle juice brine! WOW! 😍😍😍
Kristin Clarke The calamari is EXACTLY the recipe I'm referring to! Let me ask: on the chicken, do you wet-dredge and then dry-dredge, or do you make a batter?
Highfalutin' Low Carb i took the pieces out of the brine and then beat an egg with s&p and garlic powder and poured it over to coat. Then coated with the isolate (which i also seasoned) the main thing i found was it needs to be fried pretty quick or the powder kinda disolves. When that happened i just sprinkled a bit more isolate on it and shallow fried with lard in cast iron skillet like regular fried chicken. K now i want that for dinner tonight LOL maybe with some cornbread ;)
You definitely need to try Neisha Berry’s corn bread recipe. I bet using the corn flavoring would put it over the top. Ps her cornbread dressing recipe is great too
I'm a Yankee from NJ, and I don't like sweet corn bread either! Thanks for explaining the reason for the cast iron skillet. I always made it in a square pan, but have not tried it since going keto. BTW, my late husband used to say "corn bread should not be sweet or it would just be cake," and he was a Yankee (from NY) too! TBH, I always thought sweet corn bread must be a Southern thing, like sweet tea, so my bad! Can't wait to try this!!
Ann Healey That was certainly intention, as I said in the video. But then that last one was soooo good! LOL If you decide to mix and match, let me know how it turns out, Ann!
I just came across your channel and I love the idea of pitting recipes against each other. I really want to try the almond flour cornbread recipe. I'd love to try the one with the extract but that is out of my price range right now. I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos. Gotta say you kept me engaged.
It's so nice to see a true Southerner talk about cornbread! Absolutely, no sugar in cornbread! And we always used an iron skillet with bacon grease. My Mammaw made the best cornbread and she put bacon grease in the cornbread and in the hot skillet. Her cornbread had the best crust!
Dude! You inspired me. You mentioned mixing up some of the ingredients, so that's where I started. I'm also from the South, you're hilarious by the way. I like Mexican Cornbread. So here's my variation's ingredients, mix to your taste: Fresh fried bacon, bacon greased metal pan, oven on 350 to warm & heat the muffin tin, food process 2 jalopenos (seeds removed), 5 of the tiny corn cobs, 1 1/4 cup of almond flour, melted butter, cream cheese, baking powder, sour cream, cheddar, pimentos, bacon bits, 2 eggs, mix, spoon into bacon greased metal muffin pan, cook on 375 for 20 min, let cool. OMG. And mostly Keto! I've ordered the corn flavoring, will try that next instead of the mini corns. Thanks Dude :)
You are 100% right! Cornbread was never supposed to be sweet! My family lived in So. California but lived on Nana's farm in West Texas. Nana would make her batter and place it in a hot cast iron skillet greased with bacon grease. When done she cut it into 10 pie wedges. It didn't rise too much so some of us would spread loads of butter on it. It was better if you cut it horizontally while hot and butter it. Butter soaked into the bread. Cornbread is to be accompanied buy fried chicken with chicken gravy, mashed potatoes, snap green beans or black eyed peas with salt pork and iced tea. The meal must be eaten on the back porch. We need to figure out how to to make TRUE cornbread!
Love cornbread muffins, and I always make ‘me in a muffin pan. Cornbread is made in the cast iron skillet, and since the kids are gone, I use the 6” mini skillet.
Crushed pork rinds seem like a crazy ingredient but I recently tried a "carnivore pancake" from seriousketo and they were amazing. I'm definitely going to try these. Thanks for all your hard work!
I'm glad you mentioned chili, that's exactly why I'm looking up cornbread videos. Lol And, you're absolutely right, cornbread should not be sweet. I might fry that almond one. Granny called that hot water corn bread.
My late hubby was born & raised in Jackson, MS and first time I made him cornbread from scratch he said, "Honey this cornbread is sweet", I replied, yep I put sugar on the top of it...well he ate that cornbread because the guy loved me so much, from then on out I made it for him w/o the sugar.....Cause I loved him.
Awww you're so sweet!
💕
I'm from Biloxi MS our cornbread is white cornmeal and buttermilk but now that I am eating Keto I tried the first recipe and it was delicious.
Awwww!
I'm a Mississippi Gal myself. I grew up without sugar in my cornbread. But I do put about 2T of sugar in my cornbread. You really can't taste it tho. I make my cornbread from scratch with some homemade soup.....Have Mercy!!!
From southern Alabama here: My wife’s grandma’s corn bread recipe was corn meal and water, fried in bacon grease (in a cast iron skillet, of course), crisp on the outside, done on the inside. Served piping hot with butter. Great!

“ Cain’t never get too much grease!”
It's called hot water cornbread.
@@HighfalutinLowCarb so did you ever combine best of recipes and create your own keto cornbread recipe? Just wondering 😃 I'd like to see that video
The quality of your videos are on par with high production tv. For you to push them out 'almost' weekly is impressive. Thanks . You put joy ( I'm sure not only me) into my day.

Jiffy is for people who can't cook at all.....just make a cake.....
Jiffy is delicious but whatever
Y'all are so bougie
Sorry everyone but I love it sweet🥰
It depends on where you grew up. Unsweetened cornbread always seemed somehow deficient to me. I love Jiffy mix. LOL
Im from minnesota and never knew cornbread to be sweet. But we did often drizzle honey on top of it when eating it.
“Sweet cornbread is called cake.” “Cornbread should be made in a cast iron skillet so the butter can fry the outside.” You, sir, are a true Southerner who was raised right. I’m definitely going to try that last recipe.
Ha! Thanks, hotbluflame! 😜👍
southerners are fattest of all USA. beware of advice for losing weight from a fat southerner.
If it don’t sizzle when it hits the cast iron skillet, it ain’t cornbread!!!
Amen!

Sweet, cake like moist heavenly real cornbread is the best
Isn't it, though?? Gods.. I love sweet cornbread.
I like both but it depends what Im eating it with. Non sweetened cornbread with my pinto beans or chili please. Hehe
Midwesterner here and I live for sweet cornbread and so does most of my friends as well. I found a recipe for a honey buttermilk cornbread that is to die for. I will really miss it when I start keto.
Amen on the sweeteners. Sweet cornbread is called cake. Love your videos!
It was a romantic moment for me when you were describing skillet cornbread. When you said" put the bacon fat in the skillet, pour the batter in, and listen to it sizzle." I blushed, and nearly fainted again. 🌽🍞❤

Thank you so much, Imari! Welcome aboard! 😃❤️
Re-do the almond flour one, take away the sweetener, add a little baby corn AND the corn flavoring.. i think you'll have a winner.

You got it, brother. Love your videos.
Don't forget the bacon 🥓grease.😋
I agree , Christian.....
I love that you give the credit to the original TH-camrs that you got the recipes from. Great job.
Thank you 😊
The less extravagant items per recipe the better. I have spent SO much money on all these ingredients, and every time I turn around, a recipe calls for yet ANOTHER expensive ingredient. I'd love to see a recipe book that ONLY uses the basics, like the first two recipes you prepared. And yes, southern cornbread is NOT sweet! Great videos, by the way!!!
Thanks, Maggie Sue!! ❤️❤️
I agree.! I am so tired of ordering weird stuff from Amazon! You can never get all the ingredients! I can't even find the stuff I have because there so much crap. Just when you think you have every baking ingredient know to man somebody puts our a keto recipe with Lupin Flour.
@nativetexan53 Amen...
I had to empty my biggest, deepest cupboard just my personal Keto ingredients, as they've taken over & the family is all please, please make a home for them bc we're tired of seeing them everywhere...
Everything else had to be relegated back into our main pantry, otherwise it would have had to have been tossed out for lack of room... Keto is taking over our space, & it feels like it's never ending!!
@@leahrowe847
>>otherwise it would have had to have been tossed out
@frankschwartz7405 LOL... we're literally making separate meals for just me at this point, bc my carb threshold is so low. It's frustrating to eat differently than everyone else for every single meal, even if what I'm eating might be similar... it just takes so much time.
I find myself eating the same darn thing over & over again, bc I can just batch/bulk cook it once a wk, portion it out, & reheat it without thought. There might not be a lot of variety each wk, but it's easier... I'm also kind of a creature of habit, so I'll get on a kick for one flavor profile & be able to eat it for several months b4 I'm sick of it, luckily enough. So far, I haven't burnt myself out of any of my favorites... 11 months & counting!
Absolutely love your channel. Have been on keto for 4 weeks and it's great to know that I can enjoy foods that I love by following recipes like this. Keep it up!
Kendall Reiss Thank you so much, Kendall! Keto-on!
I just happen to be watching this video for the first time on Father's Day 2021. I was born and raised just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. My parents loved and prepared cornbread all of the time. My dad was born during WW2. I distinctly remember that he loved to put cornbread into a tall glass and pour buttermilk over it. To him, it was a treat. 😊
My daddy did the same thing. Sometimes he used regular milk if we had no buttermilk. This was a late night snack for him. This brought back memories. 🥰
I found a much cheaper extract on Amazon for us broke folks! Its called One on One Flavors: Cornbread flavor concentrate! Its $9.99 for a 2oz bottle and only takes a few drops for a batch of keto cornbread.
Thanks for sharing! They sent me a bottle to test shortly after I filmed this video and this reminds me that I must have stuck it in the cabinet and forgot about it! I’ll pull it out and give it a go! Certainly cheaper than the Amoretti!
That didn't come up when I bought mine, which was before I saw this video, in fact, many years before, because I was buying this stuff when it was being manufactured by another company. It was even more expensive then.
Just beware....of cheaper knock-offs....Bobby Flav. City (if you know who he is) He is great chef and researches all his approved products....say don't buy anything that has Natural Flavor added.....!!! not approved by the best....check him out.....
@@HighfalutinLowCarb Did you ever try the other flavoring? Was it any good?
I'm curious too.
I know that this is a pretty old video ... but you can make the pork rinds and corn extract recipe and cook it in a larger cast iron skillet. I do it all the time and it turns out amazing! You get that traditional sizzle AND you get the "crust". It's amazing.
Sounds almost like crackling cornbread!
Bless you for passing that tidbit along. It hurt my heart when he started talking about baby skillets and ramakins.
Would love to know your recipe for the skillet size..
I'm a Mississippi girl and sugar in cornbread is a no-no. We refer to that as sweetbread, not cornbread. I've always made my cornbread in a cast iron skillet coated in a layer of bacon grease. You can throw in some diced yellow squash for color and to fool some people who like corn in theirs(such as my husband). Shoot, jazz it up even further and add a little diced jalapeno, onion, and shredded cheese.
I see we’re gonna get along just fine....
Right! We don't do sweet muffins in Mississippi. Now sweet tea on the other hand...
Laurie G and if you are not keto add some creamed corn as well!
This is one of my favorite videos, Wesley! I love jalapeno corn bread as well.I like your idea of combining the best of each of these recipes! No sugar or coconut with chopped baby corn for texture, sweet corn extract for taste and pork rinds. Plus, I would try using that extract in all corn recipes.
Okay now, lol. I was born in TX and sweet cornbread and red beans or sweet cornbread and black eyed peas was a must growing up. I still add a tiny bit of sweetener. It should be savory sweet. Not cake or cookie sweet.
Terri Boyd Okay. I'll give you this one, Terri! 😜. (Thanks for watching and commenting!)
Highfalutin' Low Carb 😁
Same here! My husband was born in LA and he is as backwoods as they come lol. He love a little sugar in his cornbread
Sugar simply overpowers the corn flavor of corn bread. I can remember my first wife getting a glass of iced tea and then pouring in sugar until the glass was at least one third sugar and then trying to stir it in. Kind of like tea flavored sugar. I still cringe today fifty years later. I haven't put sugar in tea or coffee since I was a kid. If you avoid sugar then foods start to taste like the food should taste.
do u live in north TX..kidding i live in nc and i agree with everything he said about the sweet, the texture
I adore your personality. I actually stopped looking at cooking shows years ago because I felt like I was watching my job. However, I think you are so wonderful and authentic. I truly hope a network picks you up.
Honey, you are just the sweetest thing. You've got the brightest personality and that gentlemenly honesty. You earned yourself a subacriber. Keep it comin' darlin.
You are an awesome presenter. So glad I found a site which reviews recipes, since this obviously saves time and money. Also learned from the commenters in this thread. Thanks and keep up the good work!
I'm a southern girl and I couldn't agree more about the sweet corn bread. My daddy called that Johnny Cake. And it's hilarious how you snurl your nose every time you say "sweetener". 😂
+Rhonda J Ha ha! We gotta 'keep it real' down here in the South! Thanks for watching and commenting, Rhonda! 🌽❤️🙏
Rhonda J i agree, and chuckled at his reaction to sweetner in cornbread ☺ southern girl here!! No sugar in cornbread for me.
Rhonda J What part of the South are you from? I grew up in New Orleans. Everyone I knew made sweet cornbread.
DrellyBee504 - Tennessee. 🙂
Rhonda J speak the truth. I hail from Alabama and cornbread is NOT sweet. Jiffy mix is sweet but it isn't cornbread
I love your channel and watch your videos for many reasons, and one is that I am dealing with anxiety and stress and your voice and the high quality of your productions totally calms me down and puts me in a different world...thank you.
Thank you for stopping by to let me know that. I have my favorite creators that are my “go-to” when I just want something on in the background to keep me calm. It makes me happy to know you think that way of my channel.
Wishing you a wonderful New Year of peace and tranquility. XOXO -wes
Hi Wes, I am also definitely engaged and interested in your wonderful content too :-) You help keep ME on track in my low carb journey as well. I gotta try those grits with the cheese, they look amazing. Oh, and I am married to a Tennessee boy who's paternal family hails from Ackerman, MS!! xox Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. @@HighfalutinLowCarb
Damn, you go the extra mile to find good recipes! Thank you.
I just watched your bread and cornbread shows. I love your show! You are very entertaining. I am on Keto a diet. I was missing breads so I decided to check recipes out. I appreciate you trying them out first.
I’m South Georgia raised, now live in southern Missouri, but I totally agree with you on sweet cornbread. It ain’t southern.
For sure.....but if you use buttermilk you need to add a little of something sweet to off set the sour milk....I use about a half-tsp. only....and it is not sweet at all.....
Im really enjoying your videos. You're respectful, good speed, clean environment, humorous! Love the southern accent as well! :) Thanks!
Thank you! While on rare occasions I enjoy a sweet "corn bread", that is not my idea of real Southern corn bread. I grew up here in Georgia with my Mama making it like you said, in that hot greased cast iron skillet and getting that amazing crust! Not much better than a hot, buttered piece right out of the oven. :-) Love your videos.
Edith Hall Just reading your comment made my mouth water. LOL. Says it all. ❤️❤️❤️
Sweet bread is not good with beans or chili
“Not much better...”
I agree! Unless it’s a piece for breakfast the next day, split and buttered and browned in the skillet and then drizzled with syrup. Mmmm...
@@Lucinda_Jackson Mouth was a waterin’ to you got to the syrup drizzle!!
@@julieklie2344
That’s okay - we can eat together and I’ll just take your syrup! 💕
I just made corn muffins. I used corn meal, almond flour, stevia,baking powder, coconut oil, egg, salt, one percent milk... they rose up well, hold together well and taste great.
You are so right. Corn bread is never sweet. Thank you for the comparison recipes. This Texas girl misses her corn bread on keto. Can't wait to experiment with a combination of these! Love you, Love your videos!
Dixie H Thank you so much! If you experiment, come back and let me know how it goes! 🌽❤️🙏
I love being able to support you, Wesley. Thank you for putting the links below! We're on this journey together. God bless you and your lovely family.
I'm thinking on the third recipe the pork rinds are a wink to crackling cornbread!
OMG THANK YOU!!!! for saying cornbread doesn't have to be sweet, I thought I was the only one.
I am southerner also! I agree with you 100%! I dont like sweet cornbread either!!!
+Sandra Hansen Glad to know I'm not the only one! Thanks for watching and commenting, Sandra! ❤️🙏
Thank You! I just HATE biting in to sweet cornbread. I'll be all excited for some cornbread only to be so disappointed 😢
You have an amazing personality. Watching your shows I feel like I know you. Great JOB!
Thanks, Woody!
Took the cornbread recipe from OOO Cornbread Flavors box and added that great idea of roasted baby corn bits and OMG! It took me back to pre-keto SaraLee Corn muffins, in the best possible way. Thank you for making everything seem do-able and for your great on-screen personality. I'm afraid to watch your "update" video because I'm afraid you might change direction, but I would love to see more from you! Taste tests. Shopping. Whatever you do...I'm there! Love you!
Hi Wes. I just made the almond flour corn bread with the added mashed baby corns. Yummy. I also substituted the water for all the corn liquid from the can of baby corn. Yummy. It's really corn flavour. I don't need the corn flavouring extract. Thanks again.
That’s a great idea to use the water! 👍👍
I am new to your channel but will be a regular from now on. Have already shared you with friends and family!! Love your videos, appreciate the honesty and tips and I too think you should be on the Food Network with your own show for Low Carb - Keto community. (I may write them a letter) Kudos to your for changing your lifestyle and helping others. I am 66 and a pretty good cook but can still learn a TON from you! Besides, I so enjoy your humor and presentation.
"Yankee cornbread! 😂 😂 😂! That's what my grandma calls it too. She does true southern (Arkansas) and fresh buttermilk! Yum!
Preach it!
"One on one" flavorings has ALOT of flavors a they're not so spendy.
Same here. Like he says, if it's sweet, it's cake. Yuck!
You southerners stick to cornbread. We yankees will handle the pizza and Italian bread. 😀
Definitely making the Baby Corn Bread. Great tips, especially using cast iron skillet with butter on the bottom. My southern grandmothers both added bacon fat & melted butter to the batter. Yum! 😋
When I first moved to NYC from Mississippi, I remember being thrilled when i found that the bodega across the street from my workplace had individual servings of cornbread, wrapped and ready to go. I bought one for a snack and, when I bit into it, was horrified.
It was sweet!
GAG!
What was worse, no matter where I went in the city, anyplace that served cornbread served the sweet stuff. Slap a bit of frosting on it with a small candle and it would have been perfect for a birthday party.
I did find one restaurant that made it "Southern Style," after a while, so I was safe.
yeah, I was born and raised in the Western United States and we didn't really have Southern cornbread- my mom made what she called "Johnnycake" and every once in awhile she would include chopped up fried bacon in the batter and cooked it in with the cornbread but it was a little bit sweet- so you guys are right about that- depends on the area of the country you're from what type of cornbread you actually grew up with- I would like to try the Savory kind but I think I'll always enjoy Johnnycake as well ;)
We always enjoy your comparisons. My folks were from the south and we never had cornbread with sugar in it. I enjoy your southern humor. It reminds me of all of my family that lived in the south. I even caught your "peep eye", lol. It's been years since I heard that phrase. I do like grinding up pork rinds and combining them with parmesan cheese and using them as bread crumbs or in place of crushed crackers in meatballs or even meatloaf. I will try them all, but I am sure I will enjoy the one with pork rinds if I can afford the extract. lol
Thank you! People look at me like I have 2 heads when I say I don't care for sweet cornbread. Good cornbread needs bacon grease and a lot of it!
AtHomeWithMisty Oh my gosh! Big fan and subscriber here! Love your channel. And yes - NO. SWEET. CORNBREAD, plz! Thanks for watching and commenting, Misty! ❤️❤️
Really?!? Oh my word, I'm flattered :) I had to make my low carb biscuit recipe today after watching your battle video! Can you figure out a way to make beans low carb so we can enjoy them with some corn bread and fried potatoes? lol Ugh. carbs. Why are they so good? Keep up the great work :)
Don’t you get me started on beans and cornbread! LOL 😍
Yep, if/when I need a "cheat meal" that's what it is...a bowl of pinto beans and cornbread! LOL
You are the sweetest guy!!! Thanks for doing all of the work and I'm glad you found one you like!
Just hearing you talk about your family’s cornbread is divine...you need to do a mama and daddy’s recipe - you know, for treat meals 😂
PS: I always use a hot cast iron skillet and heat the bacon grease in it as the oven is preheating so the outside is nice and crispy...the next day my west Texas born husband of almost 39 years, eats some of the leftover cornbread in either sweet milk or buttermilk neither of which would I touch unless I was starving....and, again, to a recipe of cornbread batter to fill a 9” cast iron skillet, I only use about 2 Tbsps. of sugar and it has never been compared to cake.
Im in love with your personality! Great content. Made me happy to see a notification from you! Im a new subbie :) Next time how about keto donut comparisons? Bacon maple...cream filled...chocolate? Eh just a thought! 😘😘
aNGIE s Thanks for the kind words! I'll add these to my list! :-)
keto long johns would make my life complete
That flavoring is the bomb, isn’t it? I have one in my pantry and it smells so delicious, and it actually makes low-carb cornbread tastes like cornbread!
By the way, you are the funniest! I crack up when I watch your videos. 😂 This is your third video that I watched and I had to subscribe!
Have you tried other brands of corn extract or just thins one?
1st recipe is at the beginning, 5:50 for second recipe, 12:57 for 3rd recipe!
You are so right! Southern cornbread is not sweet and cast iron skillet in my family too! However, you can't tell my husband that. He loves his cornbread a little sweet. I'm from Tennessee and we never put sugar in our cornbread, but my husband grew up in Texas and his Mother put a little sugar in her cornbread and he loves it like that! I really enjoy watching you cook and your comments are hilarious! You do need your own show on the Food Channel! Keep the videos coming - love you!
Sorry but I am from Texas and everybody I know enjoys sweet cornbread including myself. I also like the unsweetened as well. Love ur video :). April
No beans in your chili AND sugar in your cornbread?? No wonder folks say Texas ain’t part of the South! LOL. (I kid, I kid!) 😜 Thanks for watching and commenting, April!
Baby corns make the best cornbread used with almond flour with pork rinds. It hasn't developed the sugar/carb content, yet has the taste of corn. Don't forget to brown the crust in cast iron.
Subscribed just because you knew cornbred is better when made in a hot cast iron skillet !
Hi Wes! I just discovered you and I ❤️ you. I am making my slowly through all o f your videos and I have made 3 recipes from your battles. All were winners: chocolate cake, French fries and the latest cornbread. Oh my word! They were all better than the next. You have my confidence 💯. Just so you know, I got sizzle when I dropped my cornbread batter in the dishes. I left them in the oven longer than 5 minutes. Because I am like you....that sizzle is everything! I wish I could send you a picture. They came out perfect. Added some chopped jalapeños to mine though since I like it spicy... Stay well and thank you for the service you are doing... Totally appreciated!!
Amen brother about the sweet cornbread.. Sugar doesn't belong in cornbread.. Love the video!! I just subscribed and I'm excited to see what is coming!!
+debcar Wooot! Thanks so much!!
You are such a genuine person, I really appreciate how you enjoy what you are doing, God bless!
I love it! You are correct about the Southern Cornbread is NOT sweet!
Southern Ark Homestead Thank you! ❤️🙏
and wouldnt it be gross because my grandmas had baconfat in it. amazing too.
Hi SAH, wait a minute, I was born in Rhode island and always heard those "Southerners" added sugar to their cornbread, and we Northeasters didn't. Fran
Ummm, I’m Southern born & bred (Georgia) as are all my family. Everyone puts sugar in it, so... maybe it’s a state to state thing? Not a lot. My grandma from Alabama put less than my Florida grandma but still sugar. Definitely use the cast iron though. Heat the oil in the pan while mixing the rest of the ingredients & then pour hot oil in last, just prior to adding mixture to pan. And nobody put actual corn kernels in there. Gross! 😄
BZT WRONG we eat it in Georgia too lol we like our cornbread sweet just like we like our sweet tea sweet most Southern states don't make their tea sweet enough lol. Boyfriend is Canadian and they don't use sugar so I think he has it backwards.
I cook cornbread almost every day. Sometimes I cook multiple pans. I like it plain, fancy, thin, thick, baked and pan fried.
I LOVE cornbread and buttermilk.
Would love to see you one Food Network. I think I would watch it every time it came on. Thanks for your videos. Good you try all the low carb foods for us before we have to make the mistake. Thanks
Thanks, Steve! I appreciate the support! Stay tuned!
Hi, the dietitian said one can eat Baby corn on keto. She said: " An entire 15 oz. can is only 8g of carbohydrates, but contains 6g of fiber and 4g of protein." I was soooo happy to hear that. So go ahead and ENJOY.
Ok, so after watching this I ordered the corn extract from Amoretti's site...came out to $20.20 incl. shipping, using the 35% coupon code you get for signing up to their newsletter.
About 6 bucks less than Amazon's total!
CakerBaker 99 Awesome! Let me know what you think about it! 🌽🌽🌽
I’m really enjoying your videos !! I’m just in my first week of starting the Keto diet and I’ve seen so many recipes out there on the web. Your videos really help me decide on which one I would prefer to choose based on all of your really detailed reviews. Plus you’re so entertaining!
Subscribed and a new fan ! 🤗
I love your personality!! I laugh sooooo hard watching your videos!!
Cynty J Ha! Just wait’ll you see the next one! Grrrrr! LOL
Just found you and love you already! I'm with you on the anti-sweetening in cornbread and rofl everytime your lip curls. Heading over to binge watch more of your videos :)
I think I'd do the almond flour recipe with baby corn, corn extract and bacon grease. Good one!
+Shannon Blankenship Yes, ma'am! Thats my next trial! :-)
Doesn't adding corn sort of defeat the low carb diet? I thought corn is a high carb grain and can spike blood sugar? Or is there a way to prevent the spike?
Pam Waldron it’s baby corn in the can so dosent have nearly as many carbs
Love your channel! You understand my need to be keto, southern and eat flavorful foods
Wow, thank you! I made the one from Fluffy chicks as soon as my corn flavor arrived from Amazon and followed the recipe and just added 2 drops of butter extract. Not only did me and hubby love it, our 8 yr old grandson asked for more! Thanks again, you rock. And this Yankee agrees with you, cornbread is NOT sweet! LOL. Have a good holiday season.
That’s great to hear, Annette! Glad it was Grandson Approved! 😜👍❤️
Yay! So glad you liked it!!!
@@HighfalutinLowCarb Thank you for choosing us to test out!
I want to try the 3rd one, that looks great!
I tried Dennis's fake cornbread recipe on his Black Tie Kitchen channel, it was excellent. He also uses Amoretti. I have a less expensive corn flavoring that I used. It takes more, but it's still pretty good.
Dennis's recipe uses a small amount of allulose, (not enough to make it sweet, but it helps keep it moist) and bakes it in a cast iron skillet. I was amazed that I have one that fits in my countertop oven. My real oven is broken, that's all I have for now.
I like sweet corn bread, (call it cake, I don't care!) and added extra allulose, and it still barely tasted sweet to me. So you might like his.
I think I fell in love with you when you said "We call that Yankee cornbread".
😉😉❤️❤️
You are my go to site when I want to find the best recipe for different foods. Major thanks.
Have you tried fried chicken with the protein isolate? OMG best fried chicken i have ever had. Marinate the chicken pieces in pickle juice over night and you have a winner winner chicken dinner.
Kristin Clarke SHADANG! Yes, I can't wait to try the fried chicken. I also see it often used for fried seafood and fish as well! But I'm MORE intrigued with your recommendation of a pickle juice brine! WOW! 😍😍😍
Highfalutin' Low Carb ive never had juicer chicken! :) i want to try calamari with the isolate too. I miss fried calamari!
Kristin Clarke The calamari is EXACTLY the recipe I'm referring to! Let me ask: on the chicken, do you wet-dredge and then dry-dredge, or do you make a batter?
Highfalutin' Low Carb i took the pieces out of the brine and then beat an egg with s&p and garlic powder and poured it over to coat. Then coated with the isolate (which i also seasoned) the main thing i found was it needs to be fried pretty quick or the powder kinda disolves. When that happened i just sprinkled a bit more isolate on it and shallow fried with lard in cast iron skillet like regular fried chicken. K now i want that for dinner tonight LOL maybe with some cornbread ;)
+Kristin Clarke Haha! I'll be over tonight for dinner! I prefer thighs and drumsticks! ;-)
You are fun to watch! Glad I watched your video!! Def going to try the last recipe!!
You definitely need to try Neisha Berry’s corn bread recipe. I bet using the corn flavoring would put it over the top. Ps her cornbread dressing recipe is great too
I like her recipe too.
I didn’t like her recipe so I’ll try one of these next time.
I'm a Yankee from NJ, and I don't like sweet corn bread either! Thanks for explaining the reason for the cast iron skillet. I always made it in a square pan, but have not tried it since going keto. BTW, my late husband used to say "corn bread should not be sweet or it would just be cake," and he was a Yankee (from NY) too! TBH, I always thought sweet corn bread must be a Southern thing, like sweet tea, so my bad! Can't wait to try this!!
I would take certain things from each and make up my own
Ann Healey That was certainly intention, as I said in the video. But then that last one was soooo good! LOL If you decide to mix and match, let me know how it turns out, Ann!
I just came across your channel and I love the idea of pitting recipes against each other. I really want to try the almond flour cornbread recipe. I'd love to try the one with the extract but that is out of my price range right now. I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos. Gotta say you kept me engaged.
Hey, man! How's the Pizza Crust Battle video coming along? :-D
I can't wait to try the third recipe. My husband LOVES cornbread. I love how real and fun you are. Thank you for all your fun informational videos.
I agree with you. If it tastes sweet, it is not that good in my opinion.
It's so nice to see a true Southerner talk about cornbread! Absolutely, no sugar in cornbread! And we always used an iron skillet with bacon grease. My Mammaw made the best cornbread and she put bacon grease in the cornbread and in the hot skillet. Her cornbread had the best crust!
Can you make a "flakers" or flax seed crackers review/battle?
Dude! You inspired me. You mentioned mixing up some of the ingredients, so that's where I started. I'm also from the South, you're hilarious by the way. I like Mexican Cornbread. So here's my variation's ingredients, mix to your taste: Fresh fried bacon, bacon greased metal pan, oven on 350 to warm & heat the muffin tin, food process 2 jalopenos (seeds removed), 5 of the tiny corn cobs, 1 1/4 cup of almond flour, melted butter, cream cheese, baking powder, sour cream, cheddar, pimentos, bacon bits, 2 eggs, mix, spoon into bacon greased metal muffin pan, cook on 375 for 20 min, let cool. OMG. And mostly Keto! I've ordered the corn flavoring, will try that next instead of the mini corns. Thanks Dude :)
I am with ya on that. Cornbread isnt suppose to be sweet. It's called cornbread not corn cake. Lmao!!!
Yep!!
You are 100% right! Cornbread was never supposed to be sweet! My family lived in So. California but lived on Nana's farm in West Texas. Nana would make her batter and place it in a hot cast iron skillet greased with bacon grease. When done she cut it into 10 pie wedges. It didn't rise too much so some of us would spread loads of butter on it. It was better if you cut it horizontally while hot and butter it. Butter soaked into the bread. Cornbread is to be accompanied buy fried chicken with chicken gravy, mashed potatoes, snap green beans or black eyed peas with salt pork and iced tea. The meal must be eaten on the back porch. We need to figure out how to to make TRUE cornbread!
Vicki, you seriously just made my mouth water! LOL Thanks for commenting!
I bread everything in pork rinds that have been ground in a food processor
Definitely! I used them for the topping on green bean casserole or mac n cheese with shiratake noodles. Pork rinds are magic!
Texas girl here. I love all cornbread. Sweet and savory are both delicious to me. Love your videos!
I'm with you - NO SUGAR/SWEETENER EVER in my cornbread.
(I call those Muffins)
Thanks! Can't wait to try but will omit the evil item 💌
Love cornbread muffins, and I always make ‘me in a muffin pan. Cornbread is made in the cast iron skillet, and since the kids are gone, I use the 6” mini skillet.
Thanks for this. Been looking for low carb Cornbread recipes!
Come for the cooking show, stay for that southern draw.
Crushed pork rinds seem like a crazy ingredient but I recently tried a "carnivore pancake" from seriousketo and they were amazing. I'm definitely going to try these. Thanks for all your hard work!
I'm with you, I prefer it savoury. I'm adding jalapenos to mine.
Yum!!
Now ur talkin’
I'm glad you mentioned chili, that's exactly why I'm looking up cornbread videos. Lol
And, you're absolutely right, cornbread should not be sweet.
I might fry that almond one. Granny called that hot water corn bread.
You're adorable, and a little bit sassy!
Wonderful video, been binge watching your videos and absolutely love them. Thank you for all the effort you put into them
