    never have i ever been a fan of cornbread, it seems like it should be more enjoyable than the dry sandy crumbly stuff it always turns out to be

      Corn breads one of those things that’s gotta be made right. I don’t particularly enjoy corn bread from any restaurants, its always dry and bland. But my mom’s cornbread mmmmmmm mm, fluffy, sweet, moist, it’s fuckin delicious.

        I love good cornbread but don’t make it often enough to put the effort into finding a good recipe, so I cheat with a corn casserole. There’s different recipes floating around, but it’s roughly a can of corn, can of creamed corn, sour cream, a box of basic cornbread mix, and a couple eggs. Mix it all together and bake. Sometimes I’ll throw shredded cheddar cheese in the mix, caramelized onions, diced bell peppers, whatever. It’s pretty forgiving and you can just scoop a serving with a spoon lol.

      Freshly baked cornbread dunked in milk is quite nice.

      Or just freshly baked at all. Eat it within about 5-10 minutes of taking it out of the oven.

      I found the trick to cornbread is to use lard or rendered bacon fat, and raise the temperature the stated recipe by 10⁰ and cut back on the time. It requires watching a little bit more but when the top is starting to brown and the sides are brown, take it out. Raising the temp, makes the outside crunchy and inside for moist and almost custard like
