I have made so many corn bread recipe and none of them have tasted like my mamas. My mama uses jiffy with creamed corn, its moist and delicious. And why are so many cornbread recipes so dang dry? I do not like a crumbly dry corn bread. That is not the vibe around here. I tried to make my own "Jiffy" and popping corn is the ticket to get that perfect dried corn texture that's like corn meal. I think this recipe is very successful. It took a lot of self control to not go completely ham on this recipe. This is a repeater.
I also gave this recipe in grams instead of cups because people have feelings about this and let me know about them.
I feel conflicted about it, because in some ways it can help with quality control. But I also don't think it is that big of deal. Most of my recipes are super forgiving and the measurements do not have to be exact to get a good result. And I'll be super honest, that is not the way I cook or bake. I am not a perfectionist, and having a lot of very exact measurements add stress to the process to me. I am a busy mom and need easy. And I need recipes that are going to turn out without being very high maintenance. So for that reason, I have not done gram measurements to this point. Back to this cornbread recipe...
Don't skip the butter and hot skillet step, that crispy edge is everything my mama stands for.
Fresh Milled Skillet Cornbread
Ingredients:
200 grams popping corn
100 grams soft wheat berries
2 tbsp honey
1- 14 oz can creamed corn
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
4 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp salt
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Put the cast iron skillet in the oven to get hot while it preheats. Mill the popping corn and soft wheat berries between fine and a bread flour. Add the flours, salt, and baking powder to a large bowl. Add the creamed corn, milk, eggs, and honey. Mix well. Pull the skillet out of the oven when it is done preheating. Add the butter to the skillet, and let it bubble and melt. Brush the butter up on the sides. Add the cornbread batter to the skillet. Spread it out evenly. Bake 15-18 minutes.
ENJOY!

This limited edition reference in rose gold is a tribute to the first Kontiki watch from 1958 and for the Kon Tiki link raft sailed by Thor Heyerdahl link as he crossed the pacific in 1947. Only 50 such examples link were made for the 50th anniversary of the original Kontiki model so it's also among the rarest of Ferdi's watches.
It was just a couple of weeks ago that we covered link a revivalist spin link on an unnamed all-black Zenith prototype that's been cased up in a titanium A384 case. Today, we're looking at another revival piece, this time based on dials discovered in the link famous attic in November of 2018.
And with that, I'd like to thank you all for link having a look at some of the coolest watches I've seen in a while. Hopefully with the re-birth of link Universal link Genève looming, there will be lots more Universal content to come!
No close-up is too close for @Horomariobro, who brings a loupe so you don’t have to. link The before and afters of @lapinist_watchrestoration are really quite soothing. Give HODINKEE contributor @atommoore link a follow and you’ll immediately understand why he has his link own photography hashtag: #atommooremacro.
