Russ's Homework LOL (your indulgence plez)
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

Re: Russ's Homework LOL (your indulgence plez)
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!
The MW mix looks like it produces a more 'textury' corn bread than Jiffy. The less-sweet would appeal to us, too.

Re: Russ's Homework LOL (your indulgence plez)
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.

Re: Russ's Homework LOL (your indulgence plez)
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 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

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?
