Hi Harry, Just wanted to say good job cornbread was great!!!
The next time I make I will try to make it with jalapeno to give a kick. Thanks chad
awesome! some roasted corn kernels also works great.
Harry, i can not find buttermilk anywhere in my city (rochester,mn). All they have is low fat.. any tips?
Yes, low fat is fine. It’s the acid in the buttermilk you need to activate the baking soda to get an airy sponginess to the bread. The acid is present in low-fat buttermilk.
making it tonight, with the 1% buttermilk 🙁 . I’m sure it’ll still be good.
What size sheet pan pan or what size cast iron skillet does this need?
Hey Van
I have only two cast iron skillets about 9 in and 10 in. I spread the mixture across both of them so they are of equal height. If there is still batter left, I put it in a 9X9 pan.
Good luck.
Best,
Harry
I’m looking at cooking this for a banquet. Can you modify the recipe for me to get it to serve 75 people?
One batch serves about 18 persons so I suggest you scale up 4 times. Good luck.
Harry, Is this the cornbread that you serve for lunch during your class? I’m also trying to hunt down your bean recipe with peaches.
Yes it is. The beans are beans + peach cocktail in can + rub + sauce + honey + cayenne
I’ve tried many cornbreads, even when visiting the States, this would have to be one of the best textured, and if not consuming x 4 for breakfast, just as a side dish, it makes so much, love it, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!!! Thanks so much for sharing Harry 🔥😇
You’re very welcome. Glad you liked the recipe. It took me a while to get it right.
Plain and simple, the best cornbread I’ve ever eaten!! This will be a constant staple in my house from now on. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes. Your efforts for perfection show in your products. Thank you again.
I tried to rate this as 5 stars but it would not let me do it from my phone. So here they are. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. I spent much time adjusting and perfecting this recipe to suit my own preferences for balanced grittiness, sweetness, and sponginess.
Thanks Trent and keep spreading BBQ love!
