Great! So simple and awesome. Try my cornbread with sour cream and creamed corn sometime. It's addicting.

I love mexican cornbread.. the sour cream and creamed corn sounds delicious too!

but, gotta have the good old skillet / buttermilk cornbread with my collards!

toots, what's your buttermilk cornbread recipe??

I soak dried beans overnight. Saute onion, garlic and bacon. Add beans, salt, pepper and chicken stock (to cover), cook until done. I also add ham if I have any. (not the healthy way, but then you can omit the bacon and use olive oil, if you must)

Sounds great, must try it. Last month in Saveur Magazine they had a "Piquant Cornbread" and I have altered it a bit with a ready mix cornbread because I found a really good one and makes the step a little quicker and most of the ingredients I have on hand. I posted my version of it in the recipes.

I also shared it with my crazy Louisiana family and they have fallen in love with it. My sister even used Jiffy and said it was great. At Christmas they used it for one of their stuffings as they make a few different ones.

bacon = totally must do!

easy - its on the back of the package of white lily or other corn flour mix, except I do add a bit more cornflour and milk to make a really big & tall cornbread. plus, add tons of oil (half cup or so) to the skillet when you are preheating the skillet - then pour some of the hot oil into the batter to mix before pouring into hot skillet. the oil makes all the difference.

Of course, Madam uses bacon grease for her corn bread.....nothing less will do!

bacon grease is the best of course! but I never have it sitting around so I use canola oil. it works.

CP here......

i add a little hot water to cornbread batter,this cuts down on the amount of bacon grease you put in the batter and a dash of sugar,the sugar makes the crust crunchy.

I have a question, when you use cream corn in mexican cb,does it tend to be too moist in the middle?? mine does.
