Has anyone got a good recipe for savoury cornbread? They used to serve it here in TGI Fridays and they stopped and I want some! Gimme gimme!

Can you buy cornmeal there?

cornmeal
egg
buttermilk
bacon grease

That's all I put in my cornbread. But I cook it in a cast iron skillet. I don't know measurements. I start with the cornmeal and put it in a bowl. Add the egg and some buttermilk a little bit at a time until it gets to the consistency that I want it. Thick, but not clumpy??? Add a little hot bacon grease (the bacon grease has been in the iron skillet in the oven getting hot. Pour it all in the skillet and bake it at 425 or 450 until it's golden brown. Eat it hot with butter. Yummy!!

I put in 2 cups of cornmeal and I use a cast iron skillet also. I use cooking oil instead of bacon grease. I buy the buttermilk cornmeal mix though.

Oooooh thank you we can get cornmeal yes

I feel somewhat asshamed... I'm from Texas, and don't like cornbread... UNTIL that is my cousin made it, and loved it! (I have found I only like hers tho.)

Here's how she did it... she got a bag of corn bread mix (ok, so living in the south you can pretty much get this stuff anywhere including gas stations ) You make it like the directions say, BUT add a cup of sugar and cook it in a cast iron skillet thats been used for a 100 years or more and has been pasted down for years that when your grandparents died.. the family fought over that skillet (I so wish I made that last part up)

Now I'm not sure if you are talking about a certin style or kind of cornbread, as I've seen it made a million ways with a million different things in it. But if you would like I would be happy to send you a package of down home southern style cornbread mix.

Southerners don't put sugar in their cornbread Lei!

maybe its just because my family has always kinda had a sweet tooth.... (seriously the only "skinny" person in my family is the well, this isn't nice but the crack ... ok, I can't say that.. the person with the drug problem whose momma used to be skinny like that but is now in prison and has finally started gaining the family pounds)

Ready for a laugh? Okay... this is my favorite cornbread. Ready?

Buy one Jiffy brand cornbread mix
Buy one Jiffy brand yellow cake mix

Mix 'em together and bake.

I know, I know.... it's SO freaking good though.
