Question

.....

Answer 1

Buy a box of Quaker Corn Meal. Directions are on the box. You can get white or yellow corn meal. You can make it sweet or unsweet. You can bake it or fry it. My family likes the sweet yellow cornbread baked the best.
There is also Jiffy cornmeal mix. It's pretty good too.

Answer 2

You can buy the package that is already pre-measured most you just have to add a few things eggs , water some call for milk . Mix it up and put in a cake pan or muffin tins which every you would like to have it. Will tell on the package how long and the temp ;of the oven. Let it cook the length of time check to see if ;you stick a toothpick in the center should be clean when you take it out for if batter is on the toothpick it still needs to cook a little bit more. Then take out of oven let cool slightly then cut into slices if you used the pan or pop out the muffins in the tin and enjoy your cornbread

Answer 4

I just use the Jiffy Corn muffin mix. I use two boxes, add 2 eggs and 2/3 c. milk and mix well. Pour into 9X13 pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

I have made cornbread from scratch by using corn meal, but I don't like it as well.

Answer 5

Yankee cornbread has sugar and is sweet like a cake; southern corn bread does not use sugar or very little. Here's my favorite Southern style recipe
preheat over 450
1 c self-rising corn meal; 8oz sour cream (or low fat yogurt); 8 oz cream style corn; 1/3 c canola oil; 3 eggs. Mix well with fork or spoon (do not use mixer)

best if bake in cast iron skillet, but if not available 8" or 9" cake pan for 20-30 minutes - may go longer depending if your oven runs hot, or until lightly brown on top and solid in center.

OPTIONS to add: sliced jalapeno peppers, 1/2 c cheddar cheese,

This is how to make cornbread in the south. Pour your cornmeal into a bowl, then add a spoon of sugar,one egg , enough buttermilk to moisten it { it will still be thick}. then add a little water to loosen it. Then prepare your iron skillet, put about three spoons of bacon grease in it then heat the skillet. When it's good & hot pour your batter in and let it cook for a minute before putting it in the oven to bake. It will have a nice crust. Happy baking.

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
5 tablespoons butter

In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and soda. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk until well blended. Add to the cornmeal mixture and stir just until dry ingredients are thoroughly moistened. Heat a 10-inch cast iron or heavy oven safe skillet over high heat; crumble sausage into it. Brown sausage for about 2 minutes to render some of the fat. Add the onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until sausage is browned and onion is tender. Remove from heat. Spread sausage and onion out to evenly cover bottom of skillet. Spoon cornmeal batter evenly over the sausage and onion mixture and carefully spread out. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown and firm. Using a knife, carefully loosen around the edge of skillet then immediately invert onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges. Serve hot.
