Cornbread help please?

Little Steven

Cornbread is not very widely done in the GWN. Batter is made just need an idea on temp. I am thinking on the platesetter spacers and CI pan?

Thanks

415 raised direct or indirect in a CI pan round about 45 min

Little Steven

Tks Man!

Definitely use setup you're thinking on....temp is good anywhere from 350-425...I prefer right around 375.

Little Steven

Thanks Quinn.  I forgot to ask about greasing the pan.

travisstrick

Heavy grease in pan.

Little Steven

Just realized I used the last of the bacon in the chili. Lard?

Mighty_Quinn

I like butter.

I'll be honest my Canadian friend...I have not made this before on the egg.  However, since I am from GA I think I am genetically predisposed with the knowledge of how to make cornbread.  I think this recipe sounds about right:

425, preheat skillet, spacers or maybe setter legs up with grid and just put skillet on the grid...sounds 'bout right to me!  Hopefully some of my southern brethren can confirm!

I use crisco lard if I don't have bacon grease.

seriously, Mr. I can zip all 5 mother sauces off my head doesn't know howda make cornbread, like a brain surgeon that doesn't know how to apply a bandaid isn't it?

I don't preheat if I'm doing raised direct. The goal is to have a nice crust on the bottom. Also, I like to add some corn nibblets in with mine.

You just take a step back sir! I have my finger in the dislike button as we speak

Thanks Travis. This is a recipe the wife found, honey, jalapeno, parmesan and asiago. Been wanting to try the chili covered with cornbread for years. Like the creamed corn in it when I'm in the south.

For a nice change try corn pudding.   Muddle up some of the 6 cups of corn and cut down the butter by a few TBS and this recipe comes out great:

Great for breakfast with a bit of maple syrum over it.   

You can also take it savory by adding roasted pepper chunks, onion, bacon etc.  Just search google for Corn Pudding and you'll be set with various recipes.

Maple syrum? Are you a Canuck?
