That's pretty much how I did with my own kids when I was raising them, but now that they have their own homes and families...I get to treat them special once in a while and that works for me. :)

you must be sweet :)
 

I sort of feel like this is hijacking, but here goes...biscuits and gravy! Not those things in a tube in the refrigerated food section of the grocery store and served with gravy made from a packet. I'm talking the real stuff!

OMG you're talking about my evil weakness! I love biscuits & gravy! I hate any of it that isn't scratch. HATE gravy that isn't scratch. I LOVE GRAVY. I'm not supposed to have any of it...but I love it
 

As a Canuck, I don't know how to make them. Or hush puppies whatever they are? But I make baking powder biscuits, plain or flavoured, scones, deadly dumplings. Perhaps I could learn some southern cuisine? I could teach the art of sausage rolls, Canadianyr style. Nothing like cocktail weenies, ugh.
 
Sorry, Shalimar. Mermaids aren't allowed to have biscuits. They'd get all soggy with salt water and stuff. You're doomed to a life without biscuits and gravy. And don't bother trying to bribe us with promises of recipes for poutine or tortiere, either. It won't work.

Hushpuppies are made with cornmeal batter & deep fried. Biscuits are made with flour . You probably are making them :)

here's how some folks in the South eat cornbread... The biggest meal of the day is usually in the middle of the day... around lunchtime. Supper.. or an evening meal is smaller.. If you think about it.. it's a healthier way to eat.. Anyway.... if you have left over unsweetened cornbread from dinner, you can crumble it in a glass and pour ice cold buttermilk over it... add salt and pepper and it's a great supper dish.. I've had it and I love it.

My mother used to do that, too!

Polenta shouldn't be difficult, particularly near London. Holland & Barrett do it, and it's widely available on line.

Nigella uses it so it won't be unknown!

Yes I meant that I can get polenta easily Laurie...which is what they're using in the UK recipes for cornbread...but Cornmeal, I can't remember ever seeing that!
 
You can buy some seasoned cast iron skillets in antique stores... and you pay a price for them too.. I've seen them go for several hundred dollars depending on the size.. I have a nice 15" one I seasoned myself... A 12" and also an 8".
 
I always use Aunt Jemima's SELF RISING Corn meal mix

Until I saw that picture just now, I didn't know there was self-rising cornmeal. Way down here, most folks prefer the white cornmeal. Not me. I was raised on yellow and prefer it.

I can't quite figure out how that could be done. Polenta is a finished product. It would be like trying to use a chocolate cake to make cocoa.
