Cornbread?

[TexiKan]

It seems as time goes by, we have become more accustomed to sweetened cornbread. In addition to muzzleloading, I have long collected railroadiana and have an interest in authentic dining car recipes. The Missouri-Kansas-Texas RR was one my grandfathers, father and I were employed. One of their published, famous and popular dining car recipes was called Katy Kornettes. In duplicating it, folks have noted it is not sweet nor does it describe how fine the corn meal should be. A recent duplication of it by a caterer for a railroad dinner train told me she made it three times and because the general public has grown accustomed to a sweeter and finer textured cornbread, she adapted it to meet that expectation. Rarely, if ever, do I encounter unsweetened cornbread. My guess is the Katy Kornettes are more likely close to the Texas recipe given earlier.

Not a great fan of corn bread, but when I am at hunting camp I love some of the (I think it is ) Pillsbury corn bread made from thier mix, served hot/warm with butter and maple syrup.

I was following this thread until it made me hungry. Off to make a batch myself.

You're a page or two late. The smell is fantastic in the kitchen , boss wants to know what why I'm making cornbread . Of course there is no sugar being used just the way I like it. Can't wait for lunch
cornbread will be done and a pot of river style coffee hot, black and able to float a spoon
