Holy heavenly cornbread! Ok well I read on a website that if you use coke as the fluid for cornbread it would be really good. Well see for yourself! It tastes amazing and rose up almost like it had yeast in it.
You know what's funny it's a frugal living / emergency cooking type site that I got that off of so I intentionally went and bought coke to try it. Nobody in our home really drinks soda... Not very frugal hu!
The old lady has some generic cola we can try it with. Any idea if it works with diet? Would be curious to try it with doctor pepper 10.
I might have to try that sometime. We like the Jiffy mix. Krusteaz make a nice honey cornbread mix too. We add a half can of canned corn to the mix for added texture.
The wife had never seen any cornbread or biscuits made since she was little until we got married. I don't really like the jiffy mix as it's sweet already. I may have to give this a try though with dr pepper the wife has.
Try adding an extra egg after a disastrous round of cornbread making that's what I ended up doing and that fixed it.
We've been married 22 years and I can remember newlyweds buying jiffy mix corn bread mix to make with chili from a Betty Crocker cookbook given to us for our wedding. Boy that's a good memory. Anyway cornbread mix has been around that long for sure. Think I'll have to try the coke recipe.
Mom always made cornbread according to the recipe and ten mixed in a can of creamed corn, very good, not dry at all.
I wouldn't try it with a diet product. Applying heat to these diet chemicals is thought to alter the molecular structure of the compound causing some serious side effects as illnesses. I don't think anything proven on that yet but it doesn't sound like not possible. I've had it with whole kernal corn in it too. I figured they used a creamed corn, very good and moist. I wonder what the Coke adds that something normal wouldn't do? The egg is used for the structure and a binder to hold it together. I'm starting to see a lot of variations of it these days. Still, nothing better than a bowl of crumpled corn bread in the bottom of a bowl topped with hot baked beans made with shredded pieces of ham in there. Reminds me of that place in Dollywood.
