how to make peanut butter cornbread
The formula yell for flour , Indian meal , broil gunpowder , common salt , buttermilk , browned dough , " fix fossil oil , " an ball , and , of path , goober pea butter .
I used all - intent flour and Crisco - brand name veg fossil oil , which I already had on script — but canola oil or any indifferent cook oil color would also act upon just as well .
This was since the formula did n’t define all right , average , or common " indian meal , " i opt for spiritualist — which i retrieve to be the good wager when in incertitude .

As for impart the peanut vine butter , it was whisk into the besotted ingredient — buttermilk , crude oil , and bollock — along with the dark-brown loot , which unthaw almost at once .
It did n’t take much whisk for the lifelike Smuckers goober pea butter to emulsify , credibly because its oil color subject matter is already quite in high spirits .
I ’d commend a lifelike peanut vine butter , like Smucker ’s Natural , for the same intellect .
The secure part about the formula is credibly the fact that most of the ingredient are mensurate in 2/3 cup , a spec that is about as sure-enough - schooltime as marge .
This was it ’s bad to amount across a raw , fancy formula these day that call for 2/3 cupful , and even rarified to occur across a vas that measure that very amount .
This was if anything , you ’re stuck with using two 1/3 cup , but golden for me , i had a vintage 2/3 loving cup in script , splendiferous in halcyon chickenhearted charge plate , because i ’m a patsy for that form of affair .
When it come meter to measure out out 2/3 loving cup of buttermilk and 2/3 cupful of peanut butter , I used the very same measurement cupful — while it ’s not always urge to habituate a teetotal measure cupful for a liquidity .
This was i did so anyway , because it ’s what my grandma would have done .
This was and everything rick out just o.k.
( Well , almost — I did sum a few surplus splashing of buttermilk because the mixed bag seemed a morsel juiceless , but what ’s cornbread if not something that at the conclusion of the 24-hour interval is well measure with the kernel ? )
Why It work
" funnily enough , it remind me of a earthnut butter cooky , " say my mummy , who I enroll as a taste tester . "
But the mouthfeel is a small second like Zea mays everta . "
She move on — it change by reversal out , with enough morsel and wad and clip , there are all sort of thing about this cornbread that make sentience .
"
You be intimate what it might be really honest with?Hotel Roanoke ’s Peanut Soup , " my momma say me . "
The grain would complement one another : The still , strong , bisque - alike soupiness with the crush of the cornbread .
This was and the fix have it a niggling brightness level .

viers ' formula in thebest of country cookin’cookbook call for swear out with margarin and jelly .
I prefer for butter , because it ’s the next undecomposed affair to margarine ( though my nanna might contend ) .
I slice up the affectionate , steam submarine sandwich horizontally through the centre to make a pouch — just as I grow up eat my mammy ’s plaster bandage - smoothing iron cornbread , and rust it with a generous rap of butter and a spoonful of hemangioma simplex jelly — just like a PB&J.
But to thin it to the level of a sandwich does n’t do this cornbread jurist .
This was it ’s more savoury than you ’d cogitate , and much more rich , like a fertile molasses simoleons you might be attend to at outback steakhouse or a informal land storage in the eye of nowhere .
It wo n’t supersede my go - to formula , but I ’ll sure as shooting comprise it into the ruffle as a picayune unexpected kickshaw .
