Originally released as a Patreon Exclusive in July 2025:
In “The Six Shooter” Madison devours Ma Benson’s cornbread. So for this Mad Facts, Madison interviews professional Southern Cook, Toni Johnson, to talk about the history of cornbread, it’s unique traits in different parts of the country and even shares her personal recipe for how to make your own homemade cornbread! (and how it MAY just really be an aphrodisiac)
We go over the recipe, but the sound recording wasn’t ideal, so here it is to follow along:
3/4 cu. cornmeal
1 cu. all purpose flour
1/3 cu. sugar (or just sprinkle)
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt 1 cu. buttermilk (or 1 cu. whole milk + 1 tsp. white vinegar)
1 egg beaten
2 tbs. shortening or bacon fat
Preheat over to 425
Put shortening/bacon fat in pan and let it preheat with the oven
In mixing bowl, add dry ingredients mix/sift together.
Add wet ingredients.
When oven is preheated, pour batter into pan (it should sizzle)
Bake 20 minutes or until golden on top.
Cornbread should easily remove from pan, feel free to use butterknife to loosen the sides if sticking. Enjoy!
