OT: cornmeal recipes

I've been using the corn bread and Indian pudding recipes from Durgin-Park for over 30 years...

Double the molasses in the pudding recipe if you're using regular (like Grandma's brand) molasses.

All I have ever made with corn meal was corn bread

1 1/4 C flour 3/4 C corn meal 1/4 C sugar 1/2 tsp salt 2 tsp baking powder

1 egg beaten

1 C milk 1/4C veg oil

Mix dry ingredients and to them add the blended wet ingredients stir till mixed but still a little lumpy

Pour into a 9 inch greased pan and bake @400F 20-25 minutes until light brown and a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.

For muffins bake 15 to 20 minutes.

I like adding things like a small can of pineapple chunks or a chunk of kielbasa. (Don't laugh it is really good.)

Who's laughing? (I know that it's good.)

Also try adding a small, drained, can of Mexi-Corn to the batter as an alternative.

1. Use cornmeal as an alternative to flour when frying fish.

Using a deep pot, preheat oil for frying to 350 degrees F.

Using a mixing bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the onion.

In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk and egg. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until blended. Drop the batter, 1 teaspoon at a time, into the oil. Dip the spoon in a glass of water after each hush puppy is dropped in the oil. Fry until golden brown, turning the hush puppies during the cooking process.

Larry's Sugarless Cornbread

---------------------------

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour (not whole-wheat) 1/2 cup yellow corn meal 1 Tbsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1-1/4 cups milk 2 large eggs (or XL, which I always have around) 1/3 cup vegetable oil (not olive, it's too strong tasting) 3 Tbsp melted butter

Briskly combine all ingredients while oven heats to 350F. Pour into greased 8" square baking pan. Bake for 35 minutes or 'til toothpick comes out clean.

Mop some butter on top while it's still hot.

This is an excellent cornbread and is even better fresh out of the oven. It's the Albers recipe sans sugar. I leave out the sugar because I like cornbread, not corn tasting dessert cake. Nobody from the South has ever dissed my cornbread. ;)

(Damn, now I'm going to have to make some of this stuff tonight. It sounds too good to avoid.)

Yeah, I'm about out. Overnight about 25 lbs to me, please. Thanks!

I also use it with butter in frying up nice catfish strips. et the cat, shake in corn meal with garlic, salt, and pepper, and fry in gobs of butter.

Damn the cholesterol, Full Speed Ahead!

Bad how? Too old or actually tainted? Sounds horrible. I got a bad dry-roasted peanut the other day and that was icky enough.

Catfish are bottom feeders. They eat the shit, poop, fecal material and other debris that settles on the bottom. Like most critters, they can take on the taste of what they eat.

Bout the only fish I will eat..is tuna in a tuna fish sandwich.

I think all commercial catfish is raised in farm pond operations. I had my first taste of catfish the other day. It was pretty good. Not brook trout by any means but it still was pretty good.

Well, mostly they eat dead stuff, not "waste".

The trick to catfish is to remove the "mud strip" It's the flesh that is a little darker in color than the normal white color. Take that part, through it out, and you'll like catfish caught from most places.

Back about 30 or 40 years ago, catfish caught from the Missouri River tasted like oil. I assume that was because of large amounts of industrial waste dumped into the river. I don't know if they're still like that or not. I wouldn't eat those. :)

it is my favorite fish. Catfish is like pigs. They eat anything.

" it is my favorite fish. Catfish is like pigs. They eat anything. "

Whoa ! You like catfish because it is like pigs ? And all the while I thought you were Muslim.
