For goodness sakes, forget the bread machine. Traditional
southern corn bread is made with a spoon in a bowl and poured
into a hot skillet and cooked in the oven. Jiffy works fine, or
add buttermilk instead of the milk. Buttermilk is traditional.
The skillet is traditional. So is Jiffy cornbread mix, believe
it or not. Don't over stir which would be certain with a bread
machine. I use green chilies in mine, but it isn't traditional.

JIFFY!!!

One of the great old products! Best dang cornbread goin'! Their stuff
makes great muffins, too. Green chilies is just about traditional, I think,
since I've seen it in cornbread for at least 50 years, at least around my
house.

Well, there's another explanation.

"Corn" is a generic British term for grain. So, what the poster may be
asking for, if we take this definition as true, is a recipe for whole grain
bread.

And he didn't even know it. <g>

Thanks for your replies. I've used the quick mixes like Jiffy and Martha
White. And I think they're fine. I just thought the bread machine would be a
easy way to make a bulk loaf. I'm in Virginia and never heard of green
chilies in cornbread, or anything else. :) Although the way immigration is
going here, it won't be long before I see it. You must be from the
Southwest.

I'm from San Diego.

Just recently the Wall Street Journal (I think) had an article
on the new cornbread mix from Betty Crocker / General Mills.
That article noted that Jiffy was the number 1 mix and used no
or very little advertising. It's market is largely blacks, thus
my suggestion to use it as an analog for traditional southern
cornbread. I use it and always have several boxes on hand.
There are a number of recipes that use this mix, but I rarely
use recipes at all when making this kind of stuff. I am a
'throw it together' sort of cook which is why I have such
trouble with yeast breads. They do not throw together!
