who had the idea first?
Good question. My family has been making the corn bread like this ever since I can remember. And I am no spring chicken. LOL

:)
eta Interesting link, especially the 'history' portion. LMAO.

Jiffy mix - Wikipedia

Not intended as a smear on the male gender, its just too funny given the era in which it was used.

I wasn't raised on Jiffy cb and the first time I tasted it only good manners kept me from spitting it out. Since moving down here I have learned to tolerate it when I must but it has never been served in my home. It it just so very sweet. I won't eat cream corn either btw. People down here love both and add sugar to everything, even green beans.

Well, I don't put sugar on green beans, only in the cb.

I never really did much with white corn meal. Can't remember having it as a kid either.

:)
My mom is from the KY hills and it's what she always used. To me it is the best. I tried yellow meal a couple of times and it was good but the texture and taste didn't come close compared to white.

By the way... I made red beans n' sausage last night.

On the side: corn bread from scratch with corn meal, flour, unsalted butter, yard eggs and whole milk.

There were no leftovers.

I've never even heard of cornbread until I came here! Had to google it to see what you were all talking about :yawn:. And what is a 'biscuit'?!?
