Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread from Allrecipes.comCornbread. Sweet, delicious, and easy to make. What more can a person ask for in a recipe? And of course, I have an old standby recipe from Mom, which I always use. However, when putting together a shopping list I happened upon this recipe...and noted how unusual it is to see a recipe with such high ratings.
Alterations: None! Really! I did however cook the cornbread in stoneware....which I put in the oven to warm up first, then poured batter in.
Secret to eating amazing cornbread is serving with amazing butter. I know, so many people think there is no difference but that is because you probably haven't had Straus butter. This stuff is AMAZING. The group I fed this cornbread to began as butter skeptics...and all of them have been converted. Because it is so expensive, I didn't use it in cooking the cornbread...just for serving.
Is this recipe better than mom's? To be honest, I don't think so. Of course I'll need to cook her's again and compare. :)
Haha - I can imagine your mother's response to this post! She'll be glad you came down on her side. Glad to see this - we just purchased a pound of butter from our milkman and will be curious to try it with something to show off the quality of the butter. Taste test pending. :)
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried using blue cornmeal? I have some in the freezer waiting for a good recipe. Send on mom's cornbread please!
From Mother,
ReplyDeleteI would be happy to try it for you and let you know what I think. I would hope for that good butter to smear on this.
