Russ's Homework LOL (your indulgence plez)

Postby OldUsedParts » 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. :whiteflag:

Pardnah, there are 3 steps on the back of the package and here is "My Take" on them.
STEP 1
MWstep1.jpg

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
MWstep2.jpg

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 :tup: :salut:

A great tutorial, with plenty of emphasis on the key ingredient. A well seasoned and heated iron skillet. Depending on what I am making it for I use this or Jiffy brand if you want something a little sweeter. They both are great.

Excellent tutorial, OUP! :salut:

The MW mix looks like it produces a more 'textury' corn bread than Jiffy. The less-sweet would appeal to us, too.
Moink!

Si Si Sailor, even tho that sliced piece has the look of a swiss chez block - - - the moisture is always there in full force - - - the wiffy had her two big wedges with butter and a bowl of cabbage patch stew - - - she do likes dem bouf :tup: you can break it up in bite size pieces and pour sweet milk over it and almost O.D.

Pretty simple, Sooner, altho I tweeked it some, it's basically ground beef, rotels, jalapeno pintos, bacon, chopped celery, chopped own-yawn, little bit of sugar and cabbage. I think I posted a recipe here - - - I'll see if I can find it. OH, todays tweek I substituted charo beans and fire roasted rotel and green chilies.

I'd have to be pretty thick if I couldn't follow those instructions. Thanks emm, I'm using free range egg, I only buy these, some are pretty big, about 4 double Yorkers in every dozen. Have to find a small one so I don't alter instructions too much. Milk will be what we call blue top, full cream milk or should I use trim milk?

Pard, I use what we call Sweet Milk like you would put on your Corn Flakes or Cheerios - - - HOWEVER, I have used Evaporated Milk (Pet, Carnation, ETC) before :dont: If you mean Slim when you say Trim then YES that would be fine also. You know you can crack a 4 yolker and only use part BUT save the rest for Breakfast :tup:

All good, thanks again, don't think I will get time today but prolly tomorrow. Pics WILL follow, I note your butter is almost white, ours is a real yellow butter, must be more fat in it?
