Somehow I knew you'd say somethin' like that Connie Mom. But, really, I'm pretty clueless in the kitchen.

I bake a mean pie, cake, or cookies, but when it comes to dinner, I'm sorely lacking.

Well in my part of the South at least, fried chicken is served with biscuits not cornbread, but good cornbread can only be done properly in a cast iron skillet

Pecan Pie or sweet potato pie.....

Never made either, but I bet my sweet potato pie would be better than my pecan.

1 quart buttermilk, plus 2 cups
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons chile de arbol powder, or 2 tablespoons hot sauce, plus 2 teaspoons chile de arbol powder, or cayenne pepper
2 chickens (3 to 4 pounds each), each cut up into 8 pieces
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
Peanut oil, for deep-frying

In a large bowl or baking dish, whisk together 1 quart of the buttermilk, 2 tablespoons salt, 2 teaspoons of chile de arbol powder, or hot sauce, and a little bit of pepper, if desired. Add the chicken pieces, turn to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Place the remaining 2 cups of buttermilk in a bowl. Stir together the flour, garlic and onion powders, paprika, and 2 teaspoons chile de arbol powder (or cayenne) in a large bowl. Divide flour mixture among 2 shallow platters and season generously with salt and pepper. Drain the chicken in a colander and pat it dry. Dredge the pieces a few at a time in the flour mixture and pat off excess, then dip in the buttermilk and allow excess to drain off. Dredge in the second plate of flour and pat off the excess. Put the chicken pieces on a piece of waxed paper or on a clean platter while you heat the oil.

Pour about 3 inches of oil into a deep cast iron skillet; the oil should not come more than halfway up the sides of the pot. Put the pot over medium-high heat and heat the oil to 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches, add the chicken pieces to the hot oil, 3 or 4 at a time and fry, turning the pieces occasionally, until evenly golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer to a rack to drain; repeat to cook the remaining pieces. Serve hot.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

I'm all about the Jiffy.

[thegoatgod]

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Grease a 9-inch-square pan generously. In a bowl whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and the salt. In a small bowl whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and the butter, add the buttermilk mixture to the cornmeal mixture, and stir the batter until it is just combined. Heat the greased pan in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it is very hot, add the batter, spreading evenly and bake the cornbread in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes, or until the top is pale golden and the sides begin to pull away from the edges of the pan. Let the cornbread cool for 5 minutes, turn it out onto a rack and let it cool completely. Cut the cornbread into 9 squares.

If you want honey baked in, just add it with the melted butter.

Ok, so what's with this cast-iron cornbread? We have one of those.

you'll need

2 cups of cornmeal
1 cup of buttermilk
2 eggs
pinch of salt
a little flour
a little baking powder
a little canola, corn, or sunflower oil

preheat the oven to 425, oil the cast iron skillet and place it in the hot oven, you want it hot when you pour the batter in there

you want the batter a little thicker than pancake batter

I think the Jiffy would be the easiest. And then to make the corn bread sweet, add 2 tbl sugar to mix before baking and then you only have to use butter.
