I was just digging around looking for a bread maker. Historically, a loaf of bread will go bad before I finish it. OTOH, I love the taste of fresh bread. With a maker and some flour, I could make it when I need it as opposed to having to fight the zombie hordes - lol. Anyhoo, I went looking. All the reasonably priced bread makers are gone. Only the $200-$500 makers are available, and I’m not paying that. Also, the prices for the cheaper ones have been jacked way up too.
So for this, I think I’m “too late.” (If anyone has a bread maker (with instruction book) that they’d be okay selling and shipping to me, I’d love to hear from you - heh.)
blue berry cornbread and summer sausage.
You MN folk eat weird stuff ; )
:: hopes you'll share, at least the recipe ::
Truth be told, I used the recipe on the back of the Quaker cornmeal box, with a few enhancements. Far as weird Minnesotans go, blueberries, cranberries and wild rice are our lifeblood. Get close to The Big Lake, and add herring.
Easy Cornbread
( I subbed buttermilk for the skim (ewwww) and used two whole eggs, 'cuz i have lots of eggs. Then blueberries of course.)
1 1/4c. all purpose flour
3/4 c. cornmeal
1/4 c. sugar
2tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. skim milk (do what you think is right here..)
1/4 c. veg oil
2 egg whites or 1 egg beaten (I use two whole eggs)
Oven: 400F.
8 or 9 inch greased pan. (Cast iron works GREAT!)
Combine dry ingredients, then make a well and add separately mixed wet ones.
Mix just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Bake 20-25 minutes or dry toothpick thing. You know the drill.
I know. I always cut the sugar way down. But some people want corn muffin taste instead of cornbread I guess.Sugar? In cornbread?
Sugar? In cornbread?
Hey, at least I didn't offer my opinion that Ford is better than Chevy.Beans in chili?
Glock vs. every other bullet dispenser?
Are ya trying to start one of the classic thread drifts?
I always got mine from Goodwill. They are cheap $5 and often come with the manual. I will go check today after I get done with clients....I was just digging around looking for a bread maker.

We actually have two of the same one. We searched high and low for the 2nd one. The reason? Parts for the first one if needed were too damn expensive to buy. We spent $8 on the 2nd one and now will be set for life.And if you have two, I would take the second one! Heh!
No you don't. But the idea of being able to put the ingredients in the mixer and set a timer to start in 5 hours so it would be fresh when you get home is just priceless.You don't need a bread making machine. It's not that hard to make yourself.

It's a northern thing for those who grew up on Jiffy cornbreadI know. I always cut the sugar way down. But some people want corn muffin taste instead of cornbread I guess.
Since I was doing "sweet" (with the blueberries) instead of "savory" with maybe a bit of chopped green onion, or bell pepper, I did add some of the sugar. Cornbread is flexible that way, depending on what you are eating it with.
I’ve been around but reading is difficult these days because of botched retina repair and nerve damage in right arm. I am a rolling mess these days but hanging on by the fingernails.Mushie! I haven’t seen you in ages!
Made three more loaves today. I usually make a dense, whole wheat loaf with lots of seeds, oats, flax meal, etc. Today I adjusted the recipe to make a more sandwich-friendly bread: fewer seeds, added some lighter flours. Should be great for a club san!No machine necessary. Flour, yeast, salt, water plus whatever seeds, raisins you want to throw in. I've baked 9 loaves this week, froze 7. The chickens are putting out more eggs now that we've reached the spring Equinox. If we had to, we'd live on egg sandwiches.

Like I said...off the back of the cornmeal box.With that ratio of flour dominating cornmeal, that's not cornbread but conventional bread garnished with some cornmeal.
I’ve never eaten brad, ever. I don’t swing that way...We don't eat brad much
Hey, at least I didn't offer my opinion that Ford is better than Chevy.
Sorry for the drift. On topic, I vote for tortillas to simply satisfy my bread cravings.
Like rabbit burgers half hamburger half rabbit. One rabbit, one cow.Like I said...off the back of the cornmeal box.
Yep, goodwill will have bread makers for 5 dollars. I have 2 and yes I can make bread by hand. I love homemade bread and a 1 pound loaf works great for just my husband and myself. It does not last 3 days in my house.Goodwill.
Also, look into making a sourdough starter; that way you won't need yeast.
I know, right?? Not even a full week in SIP protocols, and already the scale and tape measure have increased!We don't eat bread much, but I did buy a case of jiffy cornbread mix last fall. I have a wonderful corn bread recipe from scratch but DH didn't like it and I won't make it for myself. All this bread talk is making me gain even more weight.

This is how we make bread. Works good, makes all DW and I need. We do grind our white wheat for flour. Need to grind some for next week.I use my bread machine to just do the mixing, kneading and raising. Then I take it out and bake loaves in a bread pan in the oven. Or make then into rolls.
What kind of grinder do you have?This is how we make bread. Works good, makes all DW and I need. We do grind our white wheat for flour. Need to grind some for next week.
