This video was a real joy to watch. You and your mom are so funny. I could tell there is a lot of love there. I was raised up on this kind of eating. When you showed the books she was reading, it was hilarious. I enjoyed watchin.
You can tell my mom is from the north (canada) i told her i was makin cornbread and she said what?? you mean johnny cake ? lol mom makes one with rasins and maple sryup and a touch of brown sugar
Btw your mom is awsome Thanks for the video I gotta find me a piggle wiggle lol
Your mom's adorable!!! I've never had cracklin corbread but have heard plenty of talk about it! I'm from Georgia but I live in the city where we're just a tad bit more health conscience but my "country cousins" make this stuff all the time now i'm more determined than ever to taste it. IT LOOKS SOOO YUMMY!
I'm an Alabama boy that lives in the North now, and I usually look back on my Me-Ma's southern cooking with a lot of nostalgia. One thing that I do NOT miss is cracklin cornbread. It's good once or twice just to say you've had it, but I'd never make it for myself now. I always thought the cracklins just ruined good cornbread.
I made this a few days ago (a few times already( and I keep getting request to make it again. I LOVE IT and cornbread will never be the same. I love her!
I'm from central Alabama, making cracklin' cornbread for dinner tonight with shepherd's pie, gonna be delish! :D Your mama is a sweetie :) I don't measure either, I just judge by the feel ;)
America got fat, when they went fat free. Lard, and meat fat is good for you, and removes cholesterol, that's the reason for so many with clogged arteries.
Lard disolves cholesteral, removes toxins, has Omega 6, for heart, brain, kidneys, it's anti cancer, carcinogins desolve in fat, add garlic and the selenium in both strengthens the Immune system, and improves your metabolism. Your Brain is fat, and it needs saturated fat to function properly, and also contains saturated acids that are vital to our health. Check out the youtube video "Fats And Oils" and see what the Pro's say. EAT Fat, Lard, etc. VERY HEALTHY.
I make crackling cornbread when i make cornbread as leaving them out the cornbread is just to too plain . I will have to try your method of spoon fulls in spots.
I really want to make this now i've just got to find cornmeal if you can get in the uk lol I think this is the type of thing laura ingalls ate in her books maybe
Really interesting that she didn't add any flour at all. Best cornbread I've tasted, ratio was one heaping tablespoon of flour to two cups cornmeal. Sweet cornbread recipes call for lots more flour. Nice tip to make the cornmeal mix thick eough that it can be spooned into the skillet to make little pones.
So, what is bad about "yankee cornbread?" I like my cornbreads both ways, sweetened or unsweetened. The only time I dislike cornbread is 1) when it is oversalted, or 2) made from a Jiffy mix. That stuff is vile and contains hydrogenated lard. BTW My name is also Jim
I have a question for you. I live up North, and from time to time, I have baked my cornbread in a skillet. It does brown the cornbread up nicely, but afterwards, the oil tends to get gummed up on the bottom of the pan, rather than forming a nice glossy coat. It is also very hard to get the skillet clean when this happens. For this reason, I prefer to bake my cornbread in a glass baking dish. From what I understand, Southerners often dislike sweet cornbreads? Is this true?
Southerners typically cook cornbread in a greased black "seasoned" iron skillet. You don't wash iron skillets with soap and water. They are wiped out, oiled and put in a hot oven to "season" and that is part of the secret to great southern cornbread. And yes, lol, we don't like sweet cornbread. We call yellow sweet cornbread "Yankee cornbread." LOL Thanks for watching and commenting! -Jim
I don't think anyhing is wrong with crackli cornbread as they made it on the farm the way this lovely woman was describing. There was nothing artificial in what she described...from killing the hog and using the skins to make something else to making the cornbread from scratch. This lady has made it to older age and is not overweight Yet we are convinced something is wrong with it. My fatherinlaw eats this everyday he weighs 113 lbs. Its the McDonalds etc thats killin us...not this
One of my co workers mom who passed away a few years ago, used to make this for her as a child. I overheard her saying that she really wished someone knew how to make it, so for her birthday next week, guess what she is getting? This should be nice.
Oh that's really cool. Cook her a skillet full and give her a skillet and the recipe for her birthday so that she can make it again. You may have to ask the meat manager at your store to order the cracklens for you. Thanks for the comment! Make a video!-Jim
Oh definately I can get crackins were I live. My mom makes her own so I may just grab some from her. I make cracklings with eggs in the morning and yummm. But this is something I have never heard of so now I may be making it quite a bit more. I'll let you know how it goes. But im sure it will be awesome.
I'm as Alabamian as can be and have never had cracklin' cornbread. When I first saw the video title, I thought the cornbread was going to crackle, haha.
My cousin and I were talking about how her mother cooks some dishes without ever measuring the ingredients and her mother's response to that was, "Well, that just makes it more interesting. If you don't like it that much one time, just try it again. You might like it better the next time."
man moma had my mouth ready my moms from south carlina rip mom but she would make that with collards and its so good. next time can moma make us that soup lol, and i love when se said my moma my fav for today.
We never had cracklin cornbread; in fact, we never had cracklins, period. My mother, raised on a farm, never would eat the "extras" from hogs that came from hogs that others had slaughtered. My father, also farm-raised, just dislikes all of that stuff.
Cornread like that, however, we had probably four nights each week. I never saw my mother measure anything. Now, as an adult, I make it the same way!
Vegetable soup, something no can can ever do justice too. A true southerner knows vegetable soup is all the leftover vegetables from thrown into a true tomato soup.
Jim your mama is a good hand in the kitchen. I knew it just as soon as I saw she eye balled her measurements.
If I was as rich as a king I would still eat the good old Southern way. Sure, you have to moderate how much, but somethings are better made with butter, lard, and yes cracklin!
Besides it ain't so much what we eat as that we don't sweat enough. We could all do with some good exercise everyday. Especially me!
Terry the best foods are made with a little dash of this and pinch of that. LOL Glad you liked the video and glad to hear the folks in Alabama treated you right! -Jim
Your Mama is awesome!!! It brings back memories of my Mama making cracklin' cornbread (the food of the Gods!!). She passed away this year and I miss her so very much and I often think of our times together in the kitchen laughing and and having fun while cooking up some good southern food. Thanks for the great video and give your Mama an extra hug and kiss the next time you see her and make sure you tell her how much you love her, often.
Very Interesting to see the differences between there and here in eastern N.C. Cracklins here are only the fried-out fat (by-product of rendering lard) without skin. Our cracklin bread is made with only meal, water, salt, and cracklings, and it's very hard and crusty. It's best served with sweet potatoes and buttermilk. I have to admit that your mother's looks very tasty, though, and she's very charming!
Your mother is absolutely adorable! LOVE THIS VIDEO!! I live in New Zealand but grew up in USA and I can't wait to try this recipe!!! Thanks for posting it!
I love this video! I'm from Chattanooga TN and I make craklin cornbread all the time..yummy! I love this video of you and your mom..I would like to see more of your mom cooking..she's great! I'm checking out your other videos now!
Treasure this memory( and all others you have had with your mom).I loved hearing her tell the short story about her dad and putting the hog meat up in the "smoke house".. made me think of my great grand parents. Great Video! Nothing better than Good ole timmey Country people from Alabama.
hey y'all! wonderful! reminds me of my g'paw. he loved cornbread & buttermilk for dessert, after eating it with g'ma's veg-soup. does your mom use self-rising meal or mix? the mix contains flour. make more videos with mom cookin!
I have to say, I LOVE your mama. I also would love to see more cooking with her in your videos. It made me miss my mama and wish I had video of her to look back on. I also look forward to your videos when they pop up :) Makes me smile to see them :) Thank you.
I love some Craklins Jim.. I make my own, usually when I fix chicken I save all the skins and make craklins outa them. Now pork skin you gotta go buy but its so cheap its easy to make em, just put em in a pot and let all the fat melt out and then it browns and gets crispy. I'm gonna try this recipe. God bless you and your mamma, y'all were so fun to watch.
Oh how charming! That was like a visit with a long time friend and learning one of her special dishes. This is stored in my favorites for me to try! Aren't Mother's wonderful? xoxoxooxoxox
Thank you for posting this, I really enjoyed watching it. The cracklin's remind me of pork rinds. I've heard of pone bread before, but had/have no clue what it was/is. Do you think you could persuade your mom to show us how to make that next?
God bless you and your mom. I'm originally from Biloxi, MS and now in North TX (retired military). This video reminded me of the good meals I watched my grandmother make in the late 70's.
I'd eat that whole pan of cornbread. I used to do it when I was a kid. It might take me all day, but I'd eat the whole pan.
For those of us less experienced cooks, the recipe on the back of the Martha White bag is very similar. Of course, they don't mention the cracklin's. While I've never had cracklin' cornbread, I have had cornbread soup. It was a favorite at our house. Just fresh from the oven cornbread crumbled into a cup or small bowl of "sweet milk". That's non-buttermilk for anyone outside my family.
What a real joy it was to watch your mamma cooking. My grandpa used to bring us kids cracklins when we were young (I am now 64), and I had NO IDEA they were made from the skin of a pig. Good thing I didn't know! I so enjoyed watching this video- seeing your dear mother cooking and hearing you converse with her. Warmed the cockles of my heart!
I have had it when I lived in Georgia!!! I loveeeee it!!!! An iron skillet......mom knows what she is doing.... Living in Canada nothing like that here...You mom is adorable!!! Yummy!!! OH MY GOSH...I want someeeee...cornbread. Thanks so much for sharing!!!!
Hi Sanwings. I didn't realize or had forgotten that you lived in Georgia once upon a time. You just may have to get a skillet and show those Canadians how to make cornbread! LOL -Jim
I am from Alabama as well and I LOVE cracklin cornbread!!! My Nana used to make it all the time. Now, I am gonna have to go and make some. MMMMMMmmmmmm. Have you ever had rice with tomato gravy poured over it??? That is one of my favorites.
Cracklin will crack your teeth! I hate those things, they ruin good cornbread---pork skins are better-like the ones flydarling mentions from the UK--I like the Golden Flake ones :)
Aw Jim your mom is SO cute! And such a great cook - she does it all by eye! :D wow! I just dont care how many calories this bread is, i just have to taste them someday! We call cracklins "torresmo" here in Brasil and they are very popular in the countryside! :D HA! What to you know! Thanks for sharing!
Hi kopkitty. I'm finding it very interesting seeing how the same product is used differently in other places and cultures. Thanks for watching and commenting! -Jim
This was wonderful Jim. We call those fried pork rinds 'pork scratchings' here in the UK and they are made more savoury with seasonings and eaten in pubs with a beer. Learn something new everyday on YouTube. Cheers, Lesley
Ok...all I have to say is - I love your mom! I could listen to her all day. She should have her own cooking show! This was great - thanks for sharing her with us. ;) -Doug
sorry about your mom Jim

I love some Craklins Jim.. I make my own, usually when I fix chicken I save all the skins and make craklins outa them. Now pork skin you gotta go buy but its so cheap its easy to make em, just put em in a pot and let all the fat melt out and then it browns and gets crispy. I'm gonna try this recipe. God bless you and your mamma, y'all were so fun to watch.

Thank you for posting this, I really enjoyed watching it. The cracklin's remind me of pork rinds. I've heard of pone bread before, but had/have no clue what it was/is. Do you think you could persuade your mom to show us how to make that next?

God bless you and your mom. I'm originally from Biloxi, MS and now in North TX (retired military). This video reminded me of the good meals I watched my grandmother make in the late 70's.
I'd eat that whole pan of cornbread. I used to do it when I was a kid. It might take me all day, but I'd eat the whole pan.
Awesome video....

For those of us less experienced cooks, the recipe on the back of the Martha White bag is very similar. Of course, they don't mention the cracklin's. While I've never had cracklin' cornbread, I have had cornbread soup. It was a favorite at our house. Just fresh from the oven cornbread crumbled into a cup or small bowl of "sweet milk". That's non-buttermilk for anyone outside my family.

I've seen lots of people crumble cornbread into sweet milk and butter milk. But, I've never tried it myself. lol -Jim

What a real joy it was to watch your mamma cooking. My grandpa used to bring us kids cracklins when we were young (I am now 64), and I had NO IDEA they were made from the skin of a pig. Good thing I didn't know! I so enjoyed watching this video- seeing your dear mother cooking and hearing you converse with her. Warmed the cockles of my heart!

Share that recipe of veggie soup. It looks like a chicken base--mine is a tomato based--will she share? I looks delicious!

I'm sure she will. The next time I talk to her, I'll ask her for the recipe. Like you, I think of vegetable soup being tomato based.

Cracklin will crack your teeth! I hate those things, they ruin good cornbread---pork skins are better-like the ones flydarling mentions from the UK--I like the Golden Flake ones :)

This was wonderful Jim. We call those fried pork rinds 'pork scratchings' here in the UK and they are made more savoury with seasonings and eaten in pubs with a beer. Learn something new everyday on YouTube. Cheers, Lesley
