The BEST Cornbread You'll Ever Make (The Soul Food Way)

📖 Get Mama Odessa's Complete Soul Food Kitchen Method, every recipe in Big Mama's kitchen written down and measured (106 recipes, 332 pages): https://mamaodessa.com My name is Odessa Mae. I've got a skillet on the eye of my stove behind me with a spoon of grease in the bottom of it, and by the time I'm done talkin' that grease will be shimmerin' like water standin' on a road in July. Then the batter goes in and hollers at me. In this video I walk you through every one of them, in the order I cook them, the way my mama and her mama did it. In this video: ✓ You'll know it's ready because the grease quits sittin' still ✓ Sugar ✓ Salt goes in the bowl, not at the table ✓ I want to say somethin' about why this bread and not some other one None of this was ever a secret. It just never made it onto a page, because the women who knew it were too busy cooking to write it down. Cook one of these tonight the way somebody showed you. Then tell me in the comments whose kitchen you learned it in, what county, and what it smelled like when it was right. I read every one of them. Stay close to the stove. And remember, the women who fed this country out of one pot knew things we are only just starting to remember. # SoulFood #SouthernCooking #BlackGrandmothers #MississippiDelta #CastIron #CheapMeals #OldWays #HomeCooking #OdessaMae
