Ok maybe I'm just not that big a cornbread fan. I've made the Jiffy stuff which was fine but it has sugar and I wanted to be able to control that as I am trying to cut back (she says while she has stove top chocolate cookies firming on the counter:(.
Made chili yesterday, totally ad hoc, surprised by not an extra can of tomatoes in the cupboard so used half a jar of Herdez salsa - turned out great!
Anway...
so I see this Quaker cornmeal round box and figure I need to give this a try. Follow the recipe on the box (cutting the sugar by half) and added a little chopped green chilis. I added the baking powder a little late and maybe over mixed it.
It was too crumbly to spread butter on (I mean, what's the point?), was very pale and didn't have much taste.
Now I did a search for cornbread and there LOTS of threads - too many.
If anyone has any specific suggestions for cornbread that is:
tough enough to stand up to butter spreading
not too coarse texture but not muffin like
not sweet but has some corn flavor
That would be great, otherwise I'll just go back to Jiffy for the few times I feel the need
