Cornbread differences

Did you know that using different ingredients in cornbread will give you different results in the finished product? Many cooks think that you can substitute oil for butter or shortening for margarine but this image shows the differences if you choose to do so.

So if your cornbread is not coming out how your grandma’s did, you might take a look at what you are using in it. Odds are, she used shortening or butter. Give a different one a try in your next batch of cornbread to see if it gives you the texture and taste you have been wanting.

    I do like my grandmother. I use bacon grease as my oil. She always had the cast iron skillet hot with a lot of melted bacon grease and then added some to the batter.

      I wondered when someone would say this. I’ll have to give it a try next time.
