Yes!
Every few months for the past year or two, I've been trying to make
cornbread.
My Great Aunt (my Mom's Aunt) Freddie (yup, that is her real name) would
made this wonderful cornbread and the thing was—I knew how she
made it too. Using two packages of Martha White's
Cotton Pickin' Cornbread™ Mix (just add water) baked in a hot
skillet in the oven (you pre-heat the skillet).
Only that has never worked for me. Either they came out too
flat (used too big of a skillet) or stuck like crazy to the skillet and the
results where okay at best.
Tonight, I went ahead and made cornbread from scratch (flour, corn meal,
baking power, baking soda, salt, egg, butter milk, shortening) and made sure
the skillet (the 8″ one) was well greased.
It popped right out of the skillet and was the right thickness.
Woot!
And boy, did it go fast!
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: http://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
http://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
