You make cornbread from a mix? (shudder)It must be a chili kind of week--I made a pot last night and by gosh, the last of it just got munched :-o I need to bug my local friends and find out how they make scratch corn bread around here
1 cup cornmeal-the best is WHOLE kernel corn, not the Aunt Jemima crap where they take out the germ and give you the yellow outer hard shell
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
Stir it all together. In a cast iron skillet, thump a glop of bacon grease and heat until smoking hot. Pour most of it in the cornbread mix, stir it in. Pour batter in hot skillet and bake at 375 degrees until done, about 30 to 40 minutes.
There are many variations, but this is the basic recipe.

Exactly! I burn my mouth every time - can't wait to get that first bite of butter smothered goodness.
I made chili yesterday as well. We had bowls of it and chili dogs for dinner last night. Still had enough to put 6 containers in the freezer for later use and a couple in the fridge to use over the next few days.

I re-read your post, how do you make cornbread? Same basic recipe?

I use the same basic recipe BUT do a stick of butter in the cast iron instead of the bacon grease.
And, we don't do the cup of flour. We do 1 cup corn meal and 1 cup masa.
For not plain... and aiming more for spoon bread we add any or some or all of the following: juice from the jalapeno jar, diced jalapenos, can of corn drained, grated cheese.
