By the way the butter....you put in On, not In, the cornbread, when it's served, not while you make it.

cornbread recipe

I'm no baker, but I do know that when you bake, butter is an ingredient.. and the type of butter used also makes a difference....

this cornbread recipe is taken from Martha's kitchen.. with roasted red pepper butter spread (which is what you meant..)mmmmm!

1 cup yellow cornmeal
2/3 cup sifted all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
1 1/4 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1 egg, slightly beaten, room temperature

1. Preheat the oven to 400°. When hot, heat an 8-inch cast-iron divided triangle pan in oven until very hot, 10 to 15 minutes.

2. Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; set aside. In another bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except about 1 teaspoon of the butter. Stir mixture into the dry ingredients just until blended.

3. Remove triangle pan from oven to a trivet or hot pad. Using a pastry brush, quickly coat pan with the remaining teaspoon melted butter.

4. Pour batter into pan, filling each triangle about two-thirds full. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack, and cool for 5 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and cool completely on rack.

Roasted Red Pepper Butter
Makes 3/4 cup

1 red pepper, roasted, peeled, and seeded
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces
1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Place roasted pepper in a small food processor, and pulse until smooth, about 30 seconds.

2. Add butter in batches, and process until just incorporated but not separated, about 30 seconds. Add salt, and pulse to combine.

pa56pa,

Fair enough. It has been a long day and it never has hurt (well rarely) for me to have a few New Castle's. I do appreciate the "War Eagle!" I will digress and allow the "cornbread" thread to continue. BTW, AV8or, have you ever really eaten squirrel or are you just having a little fun with this thing? Just curious. Tailwinds.

 

[AV8OR]

Yes, I have eaten squirrel, when I was a kid. One of my first hunting experiences and the ethic of eating what you kill was instilled. It really IS pretty good it's just not worth the effort. I'm pretty much a bird hunter now. Quail, dove, duck. I do kill a couple deer a year for the freezer, but to be quite honest, deer hunting is not my favorite hunting. We just prefer the meat to beef. Much healthier and when dressed and cooked correctly, I think tastes better.

I'm fairly well educated, but if you cut me to the bone I'm still pretty much a "good ole boy".

The difference between a good ole boy and a redneck.....

Good ole boys raise livestock....Rednecks have an emotional attachment.

Oh, and just for the record, I'm not racist, since that is sometimes the assumption with us GOB's.

You guys have left out another good country food. That is when you can get a shot at one. That is a wild turkey. If you have ever eaten one of those you will never take your shotgun to the freezer section of the store again. Just cut the breast up and fry it in butter until slightly brown. What a treat. Then what about dove. Baked with a strip of bacon wrapped around and then placed gently in a pan of brown gravey. What treat.... Martha Stewart eat your heart out.

Maybe they will serve it to her in the slammer.
