Cornbread

The key to making cornbread that sticks together is three fold. First being the amount of flour Second being that you need to use buttermilk Third being that you may have it too think. It tends to be crumblier if it is too thick. You need to be able to pour it from the bowl into the cast iron skillet to bake. Cast iron can make a big difference too. And of course if you want really country cornbread, you need to put some bacon grease in the cornbread directly plus in the skillet to bake. Yummy We love cornbread around here.

Mine is always crumbly too. I confess that I use the mixes and have not tried to make it from scratch though. I love corn bread with chili and bean soup and since I dunk it I really dont mind the crumbles too much.

Adding a can of cream corn can help make the cornbread moist.

Turn oven on 450degrees, Oil down a cast iron skillet, 9" is best. Mix egg, oil & milk together add to your powder mixture, when the pan is good and hot and the mixture is good and mixed. Put the raw batter in the hot hot pan, it's a perfect brown too. I've always used the little Jiffy box mixes. Good Luck

Ingredient: Nonstick vegetable cooking spray, PAM 1 can Mexicorn, Green Giant 1 egg 1 package (8 1/2 ounces) corn muffin mix, Jiffy Methods: 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray 8X8X2-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. 2. Drain liquid from Mexicorn, reserving 2 tablespoons liquid. Place the reserved tablespoons liquid in a medium bowl. Add egg to liquid and whisk to blend. Stir in Mexicorn. Add corn muffin mix; stir just until blended. 3. Transfer mixture to prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into center of corn bread comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

Someone just told me that if you add 1 tbs of sour cream to a cake it makes it really moist. I wonder if it will work the same with corn bread. It is worth a try....I also love cornbread~ yummy!

I would suggest that you experiment with the amounts of oil and eggs that you use. My suggestion is that you increase the amounts of each, in small increments. If you will post your recipe in here I will try and analyze it for you. The recipe on the Jiffy brand mix works well for us, but we modify all of our recipes. Good luck.
