?? for TeresaNC about self rising cornmeal
Comments (5)I'm in Knoxville TN. Re: Whole families and screaming kids. I find it depends on which Walmart you're shopping. I think there are 4 in our immediate area and I have only been in 2 of them. Believe me they are light years apart in their clientele. Our local Food Lines all closed except in outlying areas and the Food City I mentioned bought out Winn-Dixie and Bi-Lo. We do still have Kroger and Ingles. I would love to have Publix or Harris-Teeter although I think they're more expensive. I have seen some Lowe's in western NC and they seem pretty nice. I have a tendency to judge them by their range of baked goods in their bakery. Our stores are pretty pathetic in that area unless you go to Fresh Market. Have you guessed that bread is my biggest weakness? I'm intrigued with your quick breads made with self-rising flour. That's something I may try. Do you make muffins for your Farmer's markets? There's a roasted banana muffin that is very good. I have made it 3 or 4 times and we like it a lot. Anyhow, thanks again. jude...See MoreCorn Flour vs Brown Rice Flour
Comments (14)Oh, no! Bad sentence on my part. Southern California. We had a wonderful Syrian bakery that made brilliant pita. I still miss them. My heart breaks for what has happened there, but I've never been to Syria. You haven't said why you're eschewing "enriched flour" and don't need to, but white flour products are required by law to use vitamin enriched flour, and even most home baking white flour (bleached or unbleached) is enriched and has a little malted barley flour in it as well, which has a lot of an enzyme that's needed for rising. Unless you have a specific problem with one or more of the vitamins or the barley, the enrichment shouldn't be a problem. Maybe you're just concerned that there's white flour in there. White flour is often added to whole wheat flour to make the rise spongier. Sometimes vital wheat gluten is added to strengthen the gluten (the bran in the whole wheat can weaken or cut it). Wheat gluten can be isolated by hand by washing the wheat and kneading out the starch, and has been done for centuries, so it's not a weird industrial product. Anything that's made with white flour in the U.S. uses enriched flour. There may be some places that mill and sift their own flours that do not, but that's an extremely rare exception. Therefore, I would guarantee that the Lebanese pita are made with enriched flour. The thinner thing is probably a lack of leavening. Even in the Middle East, nowadays, the pita have leavening and are a bit spongy. That's not traditional. :) I haven't seen Kontos, and I'd guess it's an East Coast brand. I don't doubt that it's good! Whole Foods might be a better place to get 100% whole wheat, however, unless you can find a Middle Eastern or halal store where people are into the "new" kind of dietary laws (no white flour, pasture raise livestock, etc.). Maybe try stores near the colleges? College kids tend to be into better eating. Turlock is from California. I know they freeze to ship it to avoid preservatives, so you might find it there, but more likely the Whole Foods have something local. Good luck on your quest....See MoreCorn ''Bread'' - they called it
Comments (10)Frankly, I like it all. For breakfast I like a sweeter corn muffin, with butter and honey or jam, or just by itself. For eating with beans I like a savory cornbread with no sugar better, but I'll use whatever is available.. I don't really care whether it's white or yellow but Elery's sister lives in Tennessee and tells me emphatically that if it's not made with white cornmeal, it is NOT cornbread. I live in Michigan, home of Jiffy Mix, so I just smile. I always bake mine in my cast iron skillet, because the crust gets so nice and crunchy. I think cornmeal has changed, though, or is different depending on brands. The cornbread recipe I used for years suddenly started turning out dry, crumbly, just not right. I've been "playing" with recipes for a while now, adding cheese, bacon, jalapenos, creamed corn, sour cream, whatever suits my fancy. A mildly sweet corn muffin with bacon and jalapenos goes really well with chili, and I'm as likely to sop up pot likker with Jiffy muffins as I am with Elery's white savory cornbread. Lately my favorite has been this recipe from Ellie Krieger's "Comfort Food Fix", although it's a spoon bread, not your typical corn bread. It has all corn, no flour. Corn and Cheddar Spoon Bread 2 cups 1% milk 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen thawed corn kernels 2/3 cup yellow cornmeal 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese 2 large eggs, yolks and white separated 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray. 2. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, corn, cornmeal, and salt over medium-high heat and bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the mixture thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Add the egg yolks to the cornmeal mixture and stir until well combined. 3. In a stand mixer or using a handheld electric mixer, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks are formed, 1 to 2 minutes. Fold the egg whites into the corn mixture until just incorporated and pour into the prepared dish. Bake until browned on top and set but still slightly loose in the center, 40 to 45 minutes.

She always used white cornmeal (self-rising was preferred), bacon grease or lard and always cooked in a hot cast iron skillet. If it stuck at all, it didn't get turned over and it was still fine, but if you turn it over the top gets a bit more crunchy. Corn Bread 2 cups white cornmeal (use yellow if that's what you have on hand) 2/3 cup flour 1-1/2 tablespoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (omit if you use regular milk rather than buttermilk) 1/2 teaspoon salt Dash of black pepper 1 1/2 cups buttermilk (more or less) 3 to 4 tablespoons of bacon drippings, lard or cooking oi Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Placing the bacon drippings in the skillet and place the skillet in the oven while preparing the batter. Combine all the dry ingredients and mix well. Add about 1/2 cup of the buttermilk and stir. Remove skillet from oven and slowly add about 1 or 2 tablespoon of the hot oil (bacon grease) from the skillet into the batter, stirring well. The skillet and bacon grease should be very hot but not smoking. Sprinkle the inside of the skillet with (dry) cornmeal and return to oven. Add rest of buttermilk to batter a bit at a time while stirring. The consistency of the cornbread batter should look like a thick pancake mix. This may require a little more or less of the remaining buttermilk. If the mix is too thick, add more buttermilk. If the mixture is too thin, add more cornmeal. Remove the skillet from oven and pour the batter in the skillet. Return the skillet to the pre-heated oven and bake until the top begins to brown, approximately 25 minutes. Remove the cornbread from the oven and flip the cornbread over in the skillet then continue baking another 5 minutes to brown the top. Annie...See MoreRECIPE: Corn bread recipe that is not sweet.

Don't delete. Good to see other recipes. Someone always benefits even if not what the OP was looking for.
This is one of my favorites I found in the NY PublicLibrary last year. I used it for killer corn cakes using fresh off the cob corn last summer. No sugar but we like it savory. Could add if you like a bit of sweet. I made it also replacing a 1/4 cup of the corn flour with buckwheat flour.
