Corn Bread

13 October, yesterday I made some great barbequed chicken if I must say so myself. The pictures I took weren't as good. The corn bread image doesn't look to bad. I don't care what anyone says for the time and effort you can't beat Jiffy corn bread mix. The secret to good cornbread is to melt 1/4 stick of butter for every box of mix and add it with the milk and eggs and follow manufacturers preperation suggestions. This will produce a light, fine crumb, shortbread type of muffin, johnny cakes or skillet bread. If your cooking in a skillet, melt a coulple tablespoons of butter in skillet. Pour in corn bread mixture and place in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20-22 min, test with a toothpick to see if it comes out clean. The crust will be the sweetest golden brown and the wedge will just melt in your mouth. If you've never had good cornbread try it. Goes great with Hurst's 15 bean soup, chili red or white,catfish or any fried fish for that matter.
