Recipe question.

[camwyn]

My sister is making a salted caramel apple cheesecake for Thanksgiving, which means my mom doesn't need me to make apple pie after all. She's asked me to make yellow cornbread. Possibly but not necessarily corn muffins, too. Since my Google search on the words 'best goddamn yellow cornbread ever' did not really get the results I wanted, I thought I would ask you guys: do any of you have a cornbread recipe that uses yellow cornmeal and is suitable for accompanying a Thanksgiving dinner? I have a few recipes in hand already but it can't hurt to see what else is out there.

I do! Nice, simply, and so tasty and savory!

I always use the Joy of Cooking cornbread recipe and its never failed me. I sometimes add spices to it like paprika as everything is better with paprika.

Seconding this one, with the recommendation to add the egg but not the sugar. And if you have leftover cornbread, it's delicious if you put a slice in a tall glass and pour milk over it almost all the way to the top, then eat it with a spoon. That's how my (West Virginia born and raised) grandmother served it to me when I was little, and to this day I can't fully enjoy cornbread unless I eat it in milk with a spoon. ^^;;

I always use Fannie Farmer's recipe when I make cornbread. Here!

NO SUGAR. Savory cornbread!!

We have always followed the recipe on the back of the Martha White bag (hot rize!!), with a few tweaks: add a little sauteed onion and very finely sliced bacon (turkey or real), like with pieces no more than 1/2 inch wide, and perhaps a little green pepper if one is feeling frisky. It makes it moist and delicious!

I might do that for the main cornbread loaf. My sister has confirmed that her children are only interested in sweet, Yankee-style cornbread- but they mostly prefer it as muffins anyway so that's a whole different animal. I'll make a loaf of the savory kind and then go on to making muffins with sugar for the kids.

Best of both worlds!

My family has a corn pudding recipe that's awesome and yellow.

Jiffy corn bread corn pudding:
1 box of Jiffy corn bread mix, 1 can corn, 1 can cream style corn, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter, 1 egg, 12 oz. sour cream.

Mix sour cream, egg, butter, & juice from whole corn.
Add corn, creamed corn & corn bread mix.
Bake in greased casserole pan @ 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Because I feel the need to represent the sweeter side, this.

And, I even go as far as adding a tablespoon or so (really, I just squeeze the hell out of the bear and whatever comes out is what I add) of honey to the batter.

And don't be a pussy, use whole milk and an egg, not the whites. And then spread that shit with honey-butter.

Awww, yeah. That's how the Bat rolls.
