Cornbread

Tue, 26 Apr 2022 06:16:58 -0500

First time posting in a long while, I know. Thanks to working long hours and still having most of my cake decorating stuff in storage due to moving house, my poor YouTube channel has been left neglected.

I figured I would share my favorite cornbread recipe since it’s quick, easy, and gluten free, even though we’re no longer in “cold weather comfort food” season. But hey, it freezes well.

How to Bake a Cookie in your Cast Iron Skillet

One of our favorite ways to eat a cookie is straight from a cast iron skillet with a spoon. It’s as easy to make as it is to eat – just use your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and spread it into a cast iron skillet with a spatula. Bake it for 20-25 minutes (or under bake it slightly for a softer cookie). There’s no need to oil your pan or preheat it. We used an 11-inch skillet and this oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes, scoop your favorite ice cream on top and dig in!

I wonder if this would work with my favorite gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipe. Guess it’s worth trying.

There are thousands of ways to make cornbread. We’ve seen it with avocados and bacon, with blue cheese and buffalo chicken, with cranberries and oranges and much more. Sometimes, though, you want to keep it simple, and this recipe is for those times. All you’ll need is three ingredients and your cast iron skillet. Find this recipe in the Lodge cookbook A Skillet Full.

Elizabeth’s Basic Cornbread

Serves 6

INGREDIENTS

1 cup white self-rising cornmeal

1 egg

Enough buttermilk to make batter very thin (about 1 cup)

Oil a cast iron skillet and place it in the oven as oven preheats to 450°F. Mix all ingredients together to make the batter. Pour batter into hot skillet. Bake for 20 minutes or until nicely browned.

Love Cornbread? Our hometown of South Pittsburg, Tennessee is hosting The National Cornbread Festival on April 23-24, a two-day family-friendly celebration of cornbread and its many forms. During the festival, Lodge Cast Iron also opens its foundry doors to the public for free tours, where you can see exactly how we make our cast iron cookware. For more information, visit The National Cornbread Festival website.

Mmm, cornbread.

I only need 51 more subscribers on my YouTube channel to break 15,000! I know, I haven’t posted a new video in a very long time (life has been more than a bit hectic lately #excuses), but I plan to get back to posting regularly soon. I still have all those gum paste flowers to make, and I want to redo my “How to Pipe Roses” video.

Long Time, No Post

Fri, 23 Jan 2015 14:14:25 -0600

Finally, a new blog post where I try to justify my lack of updates, and I have new #CakeDecorating videos to share.

Apologies for not being a more diligent blogger. For some reason, in my mind posting on this blog seems to be more of a production than the quick little updates I often post on Tumblr. I’m not sure why that is, except maybe since I pay for the hosting on this blog (whereas Tumblr is free) I feel obligated to make things at least appear more professional, like having better photos and stuff, but…

Gluten-Free Buttermilk Biscuits

Fri, 16 Jan 2015 11:55:43 -0600

These almost pass. They taste like regular buttermilk biscuits, but the texture is rather gummy. I hate that.

Recipe adapted from My Favorite Gluten Free Bread Recipes by Beth Davis. All I changed was I left out the 1 tablespoon of sugar. Recipe for the gluten-free dinner rolls I made the other day are from the same book.

Here’s what you’ll need:

½ cup potato starch (NOT potato flour–big difference)
¾ cup cornstarch
1 ¾ teaspoons xanthan gum
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold butter, cut into cubes
¾ cup buttermilk

Here’s what to do:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Put dry ingredients into bowl of food processor and pulse to combine.

Add butter and pulse until mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

Pour in buttermilk and pulse until dough comes together in a moist clump.

Wet hands and form scoops of dough into biscuit shapes, and drop them onto the baking sheet.

Bake 12-15 minutes (recipe says 10-12 but that wasn’t long enough in my oven) until lightly browned.

Here’s how they came out. They look fine, taste good, but unfortunately they have a rather gummy texture. If I ever make these again, I’ll only add ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum. I really don’t like working with that stuff much.
