Cornbread question

Sundown

I have made cornbread from scratch for years on the Egg and in the oven. The last couple of times I've made it it rises in the middle like crazy.

The batter is usually 'just stiff' but still pours easily.

Still tastes good just an odd bump in the middle.

What am I doing wrong now?!

Thanks.

I put the entire state of Texas on top of mine to hold it down, but it was just too wild and wooly to be held down.



So now I just say I cooked it in three dimension.

You're welcome.

Nope. My partner pooped out on me so I guess that side of the throw down is finished.

I'm making real chili instead of kitchen sink chili like my competition. :evil:

I will tell you the secret...after Ocala

Crimsongator

pooped? How about grew a comb and tail feathers

Sundown

and wings! Haven't seen him on the forum since he quit. Oh well.

Sundown

Okay.

I can't figure it all out though, It's only been the last few times I've made it that that happened.

shhh.... he is here :silly: :P

Crimsongator

Did you change any brands that you use? Do you use cornmeal and add baking soda/powder or a hot rise product.

Mainegg

try cutting your temp back a little. drop 10 degrees and see if that helps. have you checked you oven temp lately? it might be off. and if it was the last few cooks that it started this is probably it now can I get the hand shake?????

Hey I am the one with 14 case of canned chili I have to open for him in 3 weeks. that deserve SOMETHING! :blink: :laugh:

Crimsongator

Mostly it is a hand gesture. I am sure you've seen it before.

Jupiter Jim

A case of caned Chili is all it takes to become worthy?
What would two cases equal?

You're pouring too much in the middle.

Glad to be of help.

the cornmeal providers of my people for many generations! We also make something called Jonny Cakes too. Look that up when you're on the web site.

If we go to Waldorf this spring I will give some thought to making them there.
