I was introduced to this back in the seventies when my girlfriend (now wife) cajoled me to go with her to the Mormon reading center for a rendezvous with her friend who passed the recipe on to me. I might have been some kind of sacred Mormon document for all I know because there seemed to a lot of secrecy involved. Anyway I can't keep this a secret any longer and here's the recipe. Hawaiian Cornbread 3 cups Bisquick 1/4 cup cornmeal 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 cup melted butter 1 cup sugar 1 1/4 C milk 3 eggs Mix everything in a bowl and bake in a greased 9 X 13 pan at 350 until done. |

[and the first time I noticed "2 1/2 t baking powder-- an odd amount, and with Bisquick?] It ain't southern corn bread-- and it isn't Jiffy. . . but it is *DAMN* good. Not nearly as sweet as a cup of sugar makes it sound. And the butter is in the background. The corn colors it a lot more than I expected-- and the crumb is delightful! And just because it *is* Hawaiian, I'm tossing in a can of drained pineapple next time [and maybe some coconut, Bob]. We'll serve it with Spam, too--- because we can. Thanks for posting it dsi1- Jim |

Folks expecting a product like their mama used to make will be disappointed. I haven't made it in decades but I never could bring myself to put in a full cup of sugar. It was more a futile gesture rather than a move towards "living healthier." I had some this morning from the restaurant next door. Rather than just asking for cornbread, I ask them to grill it. It's a square that's cut in half, buttered, and fried on the grill. I've been ordering that a lot since I moved into this building 10 years ago. I think I better cut down on the stuff... |

From the first bite, I've been planning on a fried piece tomorrow for breakfast. The crunchy edge of mine is almost caramel. I'm leaving this uncovered tonight to firm up a bit-- then it is butter and the griddle for it. I'll go with a salad for lunch and call it even on the healthiness. Jim |

I've seen recipes like this before with waaaaay too much flour (flour doesn't belong in cornbread to my way of thinking) and I think they really don't like/want cornbread. They want cake but are trying to disguise it with cornmeal. |

I'm glad that it's as audacious a recipe today as it was back in 1975. There's no way that I could make this today. |

So glad to enjoy this discussion. I made baked hushpuppies to go with our
black-eyed peas today. They were good but not great. I suspect that my cornmeal had been sitting in a freight car in a parking lot for a couple of years. Anyone have a source for stone-ground corn meal that's fresh? Getting popping corn from a fresh source has given me happy success with caramel corn and other good snacks. I'm thinking beginning with this season's corn meal might give me the edge I want. Polly |

When I was looking for polenta, it turned out that the health food store got theirs from a local vendor I didn't even know existed. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

Such a good suggestion for most - but the only thing local here in The Swamp is a feed store and moonshiners. I reckon the shiners know the best source of corn but I really would like an online source for freshly ground cornmeal. Polly |

Bisquick cornbread and Spam, and let's add some canned pineapple too. We could call it, Hormel's Hawaiian Horror. --Bryan |

Slice the Spam like this on a broiler safe plate. http://www.pikkoshouse.com/wp-conten...died-Spam1.jpg Then put the plate under a broiler until the Spam just begins to sizzle. Remove the plate and add chunks of canned pineapple in a circle around the Spam. Put back under the broiler until the pineapple chunks begin to brown slightly. Remove from the broiler and serve with poorly made cornbread and stick oleo. If you're out of Spam, you can substitute Treet. --Bryab |
