Soup and Cornbread

grandma2pkmh — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 23:53:49 GMT

I make a couple of soups that I like to have cornbread with, vegetable beef and white bean chicken chili to name a few. I don't always have the ingredients on hand to make a full skillet of cornbread. So the last time I was at the grocery store I noticed that Pillsbury had a tube of "Cornbread Swirls". I thought that would be a great substitute, just 6 to a tube.

I decided to cook them last night and there is NOTHING cornbread about them, just really dense bread rolled into a circle. such a disappointment. Has anyone tried them and what did you think?

No, but thank you for the warning!

I can't imagine how they'd stuff anything like cornbread into a Pillsbury vacuum tube. I'd have been dubious from the onset.

Stonewall Kitchen has fabulous corn bread mix. I add an extra egg and use olive oil. Fabulous. IMHO ❤️🌽

Cornbread is so easy to make from a scratch, I never bother with a mix.

We buy little packets of Shawnee Mills White Cornbread mix. It makes a 6 to 8" pan of it which is great with some left over for 2 people.

Also, the packages stay fresher than a sack of cornmeal so that's good for us. We like the white cornbread more than the yellow. And also white popcorn because the hulls are so much more tender and don't get in your teeth as much.

Here in the deep south of GA, if we don't need a full cast iron pan full of cornbread, I buy a box of Jiffy cornbread mix and make corn muffins.

No shame, they're lightly sweet and a whole lot less work, stir in 1 egg and a little milk.

Perfect for a few people with soup, chili, etc.

Re: Soup and Cornbread

@vabreeze :

1 3/4 cups flour

1 cup cornmeal (I use finely-ground Goya brand)

1/4 cup sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/4 cups buttermilk

1/2 cup corn oil

1 egg

Whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and soda, and salt in bowl.

In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, corn oil, and egg. Gently stir into flour mixture.

Spread into greased 9" baking pan. Bake for 25 minutes at 375 degrees.

Cool on rack for 5 minutes.

Gotta agree that for $2.50 it is a good mix for an 8x8 pan. Much more flavor than Jiffy.

I usually keep cornmeal on hand but it can go rancid, esp since I don't make cornbread often.

Thank you all for your replies sharing how you make your cornbread! (I tried to thank you before now, but my post appeared as a blank reply which I deleted).

Short Cut Cornbread

2 boxes Jiffy cornbread mix

3 eggs room temp.

1 stick melted butter cooled slightly

1-1/4 cups buttermilk ( or make your own )

Do Not follow jiffy box directions!

I use a10- inch cast iron skillet

Use a whisk to get the lumps out of cornbread mix

Preheat oven to 350. Use a basting brush to brush some butter on sides and bottom of skillet. Mix ingredients together pour into pan. Bake for 40-45 min. If oven cooks faster check at 30 min.

Cornbread is moist Best Ever! *

If you like a sweeter cornbread add some sugar
