How do you feel about sugar in hush puppies?

BLEEEEEEECCCHHHH!!!!! Jalapenos, si. Sugar, no no no no no!!! If you need any sweetness dab them with catsup. No sugar in those cute little cornbread sticks either. Ruining good cornmeal I say.

Hush puppies - served hot with honey butter. With barbecue. Yum.

Hot with honey butter sounds good! And maybe with some fried oysters and cole slaw.

One restaurant around here will serve hush puppies with chocolate dipping sauce if you want, but that just doesn't appeal to me.

Yum. I love fry bread. I have a "Navajo Sista", long story, we grew up together. She made the best fry bread, we ate it with honey butter, sometimes made Navajo Tacos.

Well that’s a darn good way to ruin chocolate! LOL!

I never really know what hush puppies are.

Likewise grits.

And "biscuits".

They are all kept secret by us southerners in the US, just like corn fritters! And btw... :slapfight: cornbread with a little sugar is the best!

I put cornmeal and buttermilk on my weekly grocery list and will make the cornbread recipe in FNM this weekend. I don't have a cast iron skillet and rarely put my skillets in the oven other than a few minutes to finish a frittata. What type of vessel can I use for making cornbread?

Cupcake pans.....yay.

Cupcake pans.....yay.

Cool. I have a regular (12) cupcake/muffin pan and a mini muffin pan (24).

Since I've never made cornbread before, I will adhere to the recipe that I shared previously. It calls for 1/4 cup of sugar

I use a small cake pan usually. 8 x 8 or 9 x 9. If I’m taking cornbread to a potluck, I make it in cupcake tins because it is already portioned out for a crowd. I can make it in advance, wrap them individually and put them in the fridge. I load them in a bag and there is no pan or dish I need to remember to bring home.

I only use a cast iron skillet - I am a traditionalist in some (not all) things.

 

[MimosaMornings]

I’ve used a muffin pan and a cake pan. I like both. Mom always used a cast iron pan.

I got cornmeal and buttermilk at Nino's today so I can make cornbread. I also got a large can of hominy that I have never cooked previously. I was watching a cooking show that featured a recipe with hominy, and I thought I'd like to try it. I'm sure some of you have cooked with hominy and probably have some great recipes. The only time I had hominy was pozole in a fabulous Mexican restaurant in Cozumel, Mexico.

I'm making this turkey meatloaf tonight. It's one of our favorite recipes for ground turkey. I stick pretty close to the recipe, but I usually add fresh chopped spinach. I've also used the same recipe for turkey meatballs. Yum!

Can anyone share a good pumpkin pie recipe? It's not something we generally make over here but I've got some pumpkin puree on order to give it a try.

This is the one I‘ve used for decades. I use a deep dish shell so the pie tin isn’t filled so high and doesn’t slop everywhere. I also put a cookie sheet on the oven rack below the rack the pie is on. (Not under the pie tin itself.). That way if anything does spill, I don’t have to clean the oven.

This looks like the recipe my mom used. Only she made her own pie crust. She made the prettiest is best tasting pies.
I have made a few pies (use my moms crust recipe). I always have a problem with the edges of the crust getting to dark. I have tried putting aluminum foil on the edges and that seems to help but it is a pain in the rear.

I am going to make pumpkin bread today. It is so cold and snowy outside, that a warm, cheerful kitchen with the smell of yummy cinnamon, ginger spices is just what we need today.

Will post a picture later. I am using my new Nordic Ware pan.

I put foil on the edges after it bakes enough to be firm. Yes, it is a pain but if it's cold out, the heat from the oven is welcome. Of course, I'm in SWFL so cold is relative. LOL!

I put a 32 oz bag of frozen lima beans in my crockpot, poured veggie broth over them but it seems too full. It's a baby crockpot, 2.5 quart, not a full sized one. I've never made them this way before. I think they'll taste fine but as they cook, they may expand too much to stay in the crockpot. I may have to finish them on the stove. I'll make cornbread to go with them later.
