In the interest of research

For @peggysirk

Just discussing corn bread & the difference between the American version & our local bakery's offering here in the UK.

I buy this bread every week for the B&B's & they all seem to love it.
Lovely & crispy on top & gorgeous with butter & apricot jam.

A no no when on a healthy eating plan but I forced myself this morning to have a slice in the interest of research!
It looks like a very worth while research.. I made a loaf for our BBQ last night and it was Turkish flat bread made with 1 cup of mashed potato.. I did not have a warm spot for it to rise so I put it in the back window of the car.. worked a treat.. and just caught it before it rose out of the bowl... looking forward to a slice with raspberry jam this morning...

@julzmaioro oh my that is very inventive! Not so good if the dough had dribbled all down the back seat!

Yummy , it looks a very nice loaf --I am salivating here after all the 1st stage of feasting is with the eyes !!

That does look good and the research was very important.

A good scientist knows no bounds! Looks lovely.

Some bread goes crispy on top when toasted and others just remains semi soft! I like the research bit - might try a bit myself! Super shot!

Going to be interesting to see what Peggy says because I think that's different to the US version!

@judithg yes I'm sure it's different Judith, don't think she's seen this yet!

I wonder if i's made with ground corn, cornflower or something else. Looks
yummy.

Looks delicious. We got a jar of marmalade with champagne off a friend of ours for Christmas and it is delicious on toasted bread.

That looks good!

Pat, that looks amazing!! Not at all like our US southern cornbread which is flatter and denser...not a loaf. Southern cornbread is either baked in a square baking pan, muffin tins, or a cast iron skillet.
The texture of your bread looks fabulous! Perfect for toasting. I can practically taste it...topped with butter and that apricot jam you mentioned. Yummy!!!

Looks nice. Do you get bread machines in the UK? I do have one and haven't used it lately. You just add all the ingredients and leave. It mixes, wait for the rising and the bake, Three hours later you just take out the bread. Ha ha... add the butter and jam and eat.

Your cornbread looks much more like bread but our is more like a cake consistency. This looks good. I am a fan of bread

@sdutoit Yes we have bread machines & I did used to have one years ago Sylvia. Not widely used in the U.K. I don't think though, too many good places to buy bread & I am lazy! I don't eat much bread but I do like corn bread!

@peggysirk Good to hear about different foods, yours sounds more like a crumpet without the holes! So many different types of bread over here these days! @digitalrn

@busylady not sure Judith corn flour perhaps but not the white thickening variety. Corn oil too I should think, it is quite yellow. I think I would almost certainly have given it you when you stayed here.

Yum. Don't care what it is, love anything toasted.

Don't know this version of corn bread but I do love apricot jam!
