I made a batch last night using Jiffy and the cats got into it before it got cooled off enough to put up! Momma had to rescue the cats from the Mad Cook.
Seems like it's been long enough, I need to make more cornbread this week-end!
Yep- grits are pepper and butter only for me.For some reason, I only take cornbread sweet, but grits I will never put sugar in.

What is Nassau style? I just had some grits yesterday for lunch at Cracker Barrel, along with eggs, biscuits and gravy, bacon, and hash brown casseroleyeah, black pepper and butter.
But often for dinner grits, I will make Nassau style. First time I ever ate them it was served along side some smoked mullet, I was immediately hooked on Nassau grits.

+1Cornbread with sugar in it.
Cornbread cooked in something other than cast iron.
Cornbread without any bacon grease in it.
BLASPHEMY!
I like mine a touch crumbly and don't add wheat flour. I will occasionally add corn starch. I don't add eggs either, and I find cultured buttermilk an important part of the ingredients.And white flour helps hold it together, but don't go crazy with it. It's CORN bread! Should be mostly cornmeal. . . . I usually add an extra egg more than most folks.

They aren't bad for sure. That day I noticed that they sold 2 lb packs of bacon for $10.99 so I snagged a couple. A 12 oz pack at the grocery store is $5.99- that is a rip off.I like the Grits at Cracker Barrel.
I will have to give it a try.saute onion, bell pepper, garlic, chopped up ham. Add in chopped up canned tomatoes, grits and enough liquid and cook. I think that is basically it. What isn't finished, refrigerate in a flat, greased pan and the next morning, slice up and fry.
back to cornbread!
