Cornbread is one of those side dishes that goes hand in hand with great BBQ. Lately, we’ve been craving it at my house but we’ve been having trouble finding all the traditional ingredients. I decided to get a little creative and make cornbread with a hodgepodge of slightly untraditional ingredients.
My main hurdle in making cornbread was a lack of buttermilk which I often find gives it that little bit of needed tang. However, every time I buy buttermilk for cornbread it often goes to waste. I decided to combat this problem by mixing cream and sour cream to simulate the buttermilk element. Since I was out of tomatoes I then used leftover salsa to give it a little kick.
Making brown butter is an easy process and a great way to elevate practically any dish that uses butter. Just remember to be patient and don’t let it burn. Once the butter has turned brown and has a hazelnut aroma take it off the burner immediately.
I used my Bull Side Burner to brown my butter while I was preparing the Bull Pizza Oven.
I love how easy and perfect the cornbread cooking in the Bull Pizza Oven. I remember to preheat the Pizza Oven long enough so that it retains the heat.
The Pizza Oven gets very hot so be very careful when removing your bread. I used the Bull Pit Mitt to safely and easily remove the bread.
It’s hard not to eat all of the cornbread in one sitting!
