Cornbread

Your favorite part of Thanksgiving is what

I think it's the fellowship. Well, mine's the cornbread dressing. Hey, y'all

It's Thanksgiving. Mama does the best dressing. She does cornbread dressing, so first thing you've got to have is cornbread

So Bobby and I are going to make a super simple cornbread recipe. Now take this recipe, say if it's July, and you want to make a corny cornbread

You can add some kernel corn to this or jalapeno. I love jalapenos in the cornbread

Since this is going to wind up in our dressing, we're just making it plain. You want to help me, Bobo

Sure, yeah. And some people even add a can of creamed corn to their cornbread

Corny cornbread is delicious. Or Mama used to, do you remember when we were kids, Mama would make crackling cornbread

Have you all had that before with the crackling in it? This is a simple cornbread recipe, y'all

It's got one cup of cornmeal. Bobby's going to put in a half a cup of self-rising flour

And we're going to eat... Half cup or a cup? Half a cup, please

This is really simple. So we're going to cook this and cool it and crumble it up

And this is what we're going to make our dressing with. Oh, this is a half cup. Okay How about you want to crack two eggs Chew And we got two tablespoons of vegetable oil So one

Why veggie? Could you use a different oil? Um, nope. And I don't know why

Because mama said use vegetable oil, and that's what I'm going to do. Oh, look, I was going to say

this is the driest cornbread I've ever made in my life. I forgot the buttermilk. Three quarters of a cup of our buttermilk

is going to be our wet in here. And that's it. That's some thick-looking cornbread, brother

Let's go with... We're going to call it a cup of buttermilk

That's a little tight, y'all. One cup of cornmeal. Oh, no wonder

Cut. We're going to double this recipe, y'all. So we're going to add one more half a cup of flour

We're going to add two more tablespoons of oil. We're going to add a half a cup of buttermilk

because I've already added one cup. Get some more buttermilk for you, brother

I knew what I was doing the whole time. And now we need two more eggs Oh yeah we do don we And so we need two pants

I think I shorted myself a little bit. We have messed this whole thing up. No, you

Y'all don't clap for that. I'm just glad that Mama's in the back

and she's not here to see this. Now we got it. And my brother has got us another 8 by 10 pan. Yep

Did you already spray them? They are sprayed. And we're going to just pour this in

Just so about half. That's about half. Let's see how we do it

More cornbread for everybody. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm

Let's get our profit down there in the corners. That's what Mama always told us

that the profit was in the corners, so... That's usually right after she got finished yelling at us

Yeah. So that's it, y'all. This is going to go into the oven at 350 degrees

for about 25 minutes. It's hot. It's a hot oven. Oh looky here We only have one done because we were only supposed to have one

So now what we would do is that's hot. Put some butter on it and jam it in your face

Yeah. Let's see if I can do it. Yeah. There you go

You know what? You could probably crumble this up. But anyway, I ain't making dressing right this second

So I'm going to get me some butter, and I'm going to eat a piece of cornbread, because I love hot cornbread with butter on it

Would y'all like some, too? That's what we do. I think we're just going to invite him up here, Bob

Oh, OK. Y'all let me get it fixed now before you rush in here. Y'all as bad as me and Bobby used to be when Mama was cooking

You want to see me? OK, y'all can come out now. OK, y'all

So this is the cornbread that if we weren't fixing to treat it like a wild tribe of locusts that we could make cornbread dressing with later

But right now we're going to have us some hot cornbread. This is really a pretty easy recipe

Y'all eat it at the house. This is cornbread. Y'all, it's good. Happy Thanksgiving

Y'all eat up
