Christine, you know I always make southern buttermilk cornbread, but I'm
not familiar with a version that has custard under the crust. How is that
done?

Yes, and yours is a version without flour in it. This version has
flour in the mix.

To make the custard layer, the wet ingredients are mixed in with the
dry ingredients and then the mixture is poured into the heated pan.
Without disturbing it, another half cup of milk is poured into the
center of the pan...into the cornbread mixture. Don't stir. Just let
it bake as usual.

Not sure how this would work with your version.

What's the story on the cornbread with custard under the crust? I've
never heard of that before?? I'm intrigued!

It's a Marion Cunningham recipe. I will see if I can post the recipe.

Might be worth a try, or trying a different recipe for that purpose.

Intriguing.

Okay, I am gonna edit my post on my blog, to include the recipe, since
so many of you are asking about it. I don't think it is that
uncommon, but I could be wrong.

Mind you, this produces a finer textured cornbread than the type
without flour. One of my old Kentucky friends said that this was the
best cornbread he had ever tasted....

Thanks. I am a posting fool today on the blog. Catching up on all
the posts I haven't made in a month.

Just posted another one. This time it is the pork roast the Michael
and Sheldon recommended, and the followup Cubanos.

And before that, Delilahs!!!!

I meant to tell you that those cubanos on your blog look really good.
The soup looks good too. I have probably a 3lb. chunk of ham left over
so I'm going to do some Senate Bean this weekend probably.

Thanks!!
I have been a posting fool today.....

I don't know if the Cubanos are authentic or not. I would probably get
some grief over those...but they sure taste good!

There are so many versions of Senate Bean soup. This is the one I
grew up with, and when I see other versions, they just don't seem
right. As you can see from my recipe cards, it has been made a lot.

I use a LOT of pepper in this. I wondered how a dried chile would be
too...but didn't use one.

I am thinking of making Perfection Salad tonight, and dedicating the
blog post to Tammy.

Ohhhh... maybe a smoked chile of some kind. Betcha it would be really
good.

I'm watching Alton Brown. He's one of the few I still watch on FoodTV.
We're supposed to have nice weather the next couple of days so I'm
prepared and loaded up with stuff to plant. I'm real organized. I've got
a list of "To Dos"... do this first, transplant this 'n that next,
separate that etc. Watch, it will rain like hell all day tomorrow.

Me, I am being lazy, with just a bit of cooking here and there. I
have had some medical issues this past weekend and this week, and am
home on doctor's orders. I have a fridge full of stuff that needs to
be cooked, but I am doing it a tiny bit at a time, to not wear myself
out.

Last night I made a cherry tart, that has been calling my name-from
the old cookbook, Great Dinners From Life. I did take pictures of it,
but can't decide whether or not to post it to the blog. The first
slices fell apart, and today, I finally got a good picture of an
intact slice.

I am probably making more pizza dough tonight, and homemade bbq sauce.
I never got around to making the bbq chicken pizza, but I am thinking
the last of the roast pork might do well for a bbq pizza instead.
Alnog with the smoked gouda that Kimberly encouraged me to get for it.

Dang, Christine. I went to your blog, saw the recipe, and relized that very
cookbook is sitting not 3 feet away from me! I had never tried the recipe,
but I will now. There are numerous recipes in that book I like.

Oh, neat!!

I love Marion Cunningham's books.

What other recipes from there have you made? I haven't tried many
yet...even though I have had the cookbook for many, many years.
