It’s Thanksgiving and all I can think of is the great Bernard Matthews who passed to the other side on this very day; call it poultry punitive punishment, either way it’s a rooster reprisal.
The other thing I think of is cooking the celebratory meal for actress Ertha Kitt about ten years ago, which included corn bread.
I mixed together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and in a separate bowl, mixed together the eggs, buttermilk, and butter. I then poured the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and folded together until there were no dry spots, and then poured the batter into a baking dish, cooking for 25 minutes at 180oC.
Have a lovely thanksgiving unless of course you live in Turkey where they don’t actually have Turkey. Bernard Matthew would be turning in his gravy.
