lace corn bread - The Munchie Mansion - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

water
fine cornmeal
bacon greese
cast iron skillit works best

iv no measurements for anything i cook, so all i can say is put about 1/2 cup of cornmeal in a bowl. add water until the cornmeal and water are thin. you must stir this mix constantly to keep water mixed in the cornmeal.

now get your pan about 1/8 inch of bacon greece deep and at the verge of smoking. i use a tablespoon to dip the mix into the pan. it should be on the runny side. always remeber the water will cook off, the more water means more to cook away leaving the lace look and texture you want. ur greece shoul be hot, so be careful putting the water/cornmeal in. it has a tendency to really pop and such. when you put the mix in the greece it should spread out like a pankake but much thinner and faster. it should also beb bubbling all around the edges making them very crispy. they should start floating. flip once and cook until golden brown.....done. the 1st couple usually stick...water on a hot pan deal i guess.

ill try to explain if any1 wants to try these........asa loves the dayumed things....so i guess i should make them more.

i grew up cooking in the south w/my grandmaw. i figured out early if i wanted it go make it.

mmmmm hope ya make some soon hun!! lol

they are SO good... crispy and thin... not like the thick almost sweet cornbread i'd grown up with... these come out more corn tastin, sorta like a home made tortilla crisp. add a lil salt and enjoy... well that's what i do, often with some black eye peas.

mmmm sheesh i'm gettin hungry. :smile:

Y'all gotta post up pics of the process. I'm imagining something like a lazy funnel cake- same idea, minus the funnel. lol!

i'll see what i can do about that stinkyattic. we...he used to do funnel cakes too, but in the deep fryer. with the lace corn bread ya need just enough greese to cover the goo pile in the skillet... and yeah no funnel needed.

Hey Leader. I grew up cooking with my Granmaw in the south too. We always made them smaller and called it cornbread fritters. A little fresh local honey and real butter make them a REAL treat. Man I need to get something to eat now.

Hi Leader, sounds like a nice way to cook up thin chrunchy cornbread!!!

Don't know if you've ever tryed this but heres how I mix up cornbread. I add a few crushed allspice balls, add white pepper to the mix and crush up some super crispy bacon very finely, I don't like sweet cornbread! This is great with homemade chili or homemade bean soup. Oh yea don't use ham hocks to make bean soup use smoked neck bones, when the meat is about ready to fall off the bones after a long simmer in the soup use a fork to scrape the meat off it shreades it so it spreads out more evenly in the soup. Don't forget to check the soup well when almost finished to get all the smaller bones out!

Hope you try this...you'll really like it! Sticky
