Russ's Homework LOL (your indulgence plez)
Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2017 12:25 pm
I promised Russ that as soon as he got delivery on that Martha White Sweet Yellow Cornbread Mix, I would post a "silly tutorial" so here goes.
Pardnah, there are 3 steps on the back of the package and here is "My Take" on them.
STEP 1
OK, I "ONLY" use a seasoned cast iron Skillet and it is "ONLY" used for Cornbread and nothing else.
I take a paper towel and some Crisco (mandatory for me at least) and cover the inside of the skillet well.
Then I place the greased skillet in the COLD OVEN. Then I pre-heat the Oven and Skillet to 400 degrees.
Step 2
While the oven is heating I mix the cornbread dry mix according to directions.
When the oven is preheated to 400 then I remove the HOT SKILLET
and pour in well stirred mix into and place skillet in 400 degree oven.
Step 3
I then set the timer on 20 minutes but that's what works for my Oven, your may vary.
Here it is after 9 minutes and you can tell it is starting to rise.
When the top looks like this I take it out and dump it onto a plate.
Here is the nice bottom crust that is so important and made possible by the seasoned and preheated skillet.
Look how clean the skillet is after cooking the cornbread. I will only wash this in hot water - - I will and never have used any soap on my seasoned skillet. Actually they will almost just wipe clean without washing but I DO WASH IT>
Just a couple of Final Pics - - the Cabbage Patch Stew was the REASON for the CORNBREAD.
ENJOY, MY FRIEND
