directions

  • Mix all ingredients together.
  • Put the tbs of grease in cast iron skillet to make the cornbread crusty, then pour in all ingredients.
  • (*Make sure the batter is not thin and runny, if so, add equal consistencies of flour and cornmeal to thicken*).
  • I sometimes add a little bit of salt, and a tbs of sugar, but this is optional.
  • Bake on 400-425 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

  1. This was a nice, fluffy cornbread. I was interested in this recipe because of the addition of mayo for something different. It worked out well. I did add baking powder & baking soda. I found the flavor a bit lacking. I'm not sure why. :/ I used the cornbread to make dressing.
     
  2. I agree with Marsha D -- there's normally not much that one can do to cornbread to make it different AND better -- but you pulled it off, Chef Sunshine! The buttermilk and mayo are a nice touch. I do confess to one little tweak. I got to looking and saw no baking powder listed in the recipe so I used 1 1/2 teaspoons-full (teaspoon-fulls?!?) just for "safety," and my cornbread turned out nicely risen. Also, next time, I plan to also add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to balance out the acid of the buttermilk -- it probably won't make a darn bit of difference in the flavor but it will serve to make me look more astute in front of my family.(grin). Hey, Chef Sunshine, great job! Great cornbread. I had a little left over and I'm going to use it in a stuffed mexican chicken breast recipe that I'm developing -- I know this stuff will make it better!
     
  3. Oh my!!!This is a 5 star for sure! This was so good! Its now my favorite :) I love the ingredients in this recipe. I used the salt and sugar and a large iron skillet which was to big but that is all that I had here at our house. My smaller iron skillets are all up at our camper at the lake. The cornbread came out thin but it didn't change the taste. I had never thought of using mayonnaise in cornbread but WOW! this was delicious!! Its a keeper for sure. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe Chef Sunshine!!

&#9829; I live in Tennessee where I am a full-time nursing student. This past May 2006 I finally graduated after 4 long years of college with my Associate Degree in Nursing. It is great to know that I can be a part of something so important. For fun, I like to jog, swim, hike,(basically anything outdoors), cook and read. There is just something about cooking that is relaxing, dontcha' think? My favorite cookbook is the Betty Crocker cookbook. My passions are my boyfriend of 6 years, Benjamin, my 2 baby kittens: Midoria (Middy for short) - she is 6 years old; and Ki-Ki - he is 4 years old...but they are both still kittens to me. They are the foundation and true essence of my life. I thank God everyday that I have been so blessed to have them in my life. My pet peeves are mean people. Here is a pic of my little KiKi B.B.&#9829;: <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/kiki16.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> KiKi on his cat tree :] &#9829;&#9829;&#9829; :] <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/keeks4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> Here is a pic of Middy&#9829;: <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/brat4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> This is me and my baby!!&#9829; <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/brightcont.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/christmas2006antiqued.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> This is when the kitties opened their new cat condo present on Christmas day!! <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/newcondo2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> Here is my little kiki kitten again!!&#9829; <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/perfectface.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> Here is KiKi trying to get Middy on the new condo!! :] &#9829; <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/kikismack.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> &#9829;I love my little babies!!&#9829; Here is a recent pic of the lil' babbies having a kitten disagreement&#9829; :] <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/kikmid1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> &#9829;such cuties!!&#9829; . &#9829; . &#9829; . &#9829; . <b> Favorite Cookbooks: <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/37901">Make Your Own "Meat"</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/48016">Get Fit!</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/54255">My Little Tofu Cookbook</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/41407">Yummy Vegetarian Dishes</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/32254">Simple</a></li> . &#9829; . &#9829; . &#9829; . <a href="http://www.amazingcounter.com"><img border="0" src="http://c9.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=1880156&c=5640781" alt="Web Counter Code"></a><a href="http://www.1-coupons.com/coupons/overstock.htm"></a>
