Mother Country explains what cracklins are and gives Country a lesson on cooking cracklin cornbread. This might be the most unhealthy dish on earth. "Music: Kevin MacLeod" Royalty Free Music Thanks for watching! 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.
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 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 come from Texas and while living in Kentucky I had a chance to try it( my neighbor called it fatty bread). I asked why not just call it crackling bread, well she said it will make you fat just like my cousin here. I like cornbread any way you can get it, I must say it goes very well with pinto beans. Our house only eats the crackling kind every six months being this old we would be so big! These old vids of your moms are very precious, Thank you so much for them! Gail and Les
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.
Great video , I noticed your mom after cracking the egg took her finger and wiped every last bit of the egg white out of the shell, my grandmother did this .They went through the depression and were very frugal.I love cracklin cornbread, thanks for sharing, I live in North Alabama.
I'm new & crackling cornbread I love. Love country food. My grandma did everything from scratch. Where is my plate? lol. Live not to far. Live near state line of Tenn & Ga. You live near my family in Atlanta. Like your channel. Have a bless dayツ
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.
Oh I love crackling cornbread ..its hard to find fresh hog jowel to make fresh cracklings...but oh yeah so good in pinto beans ...yum yum ... My granny had a smoke house and they kept there meat hanging in there ...she made her cracklings outside in a big cast iron skillet over a fire ... this brings back some really good memories ..
I saw your video on Facebook & I live in Ala. so I had to drop by for a visit, lol history must be in the making here, lol that's just how I make mine to, except the baking soda. thanks for sharing
My Mother and Daddy (Grandmother too) fixed this stuff and you know there are no calories "0" in this don't you?? It's soooo good with lots of butter on it. Moderation is the key. Love this vid and you must have Momma do some more cooking shows.
Lol, bless her heart. I don't know if it's a Alabama thing but my mom never measured anything, she eyeballed it and I'm a stickler for measuring. Now that she's gone, I can't remember how she made hers cause she never measured when making cracklin cornbread.
this is how you learn to cook. great vid. ill give this recipe a shot, how can you possibly go wrong? just dont let it burn! thanks for the good times granny, your cooking looks awesome!
The only thing I do different now is I line a baking sheet with tin foil and put the cracklins on the baking sheet and bake them in the oven until crispy. I then let them cool and put into a baggie and beat them until they are in bits. This way, you get a bite of cracklin in every bite. Using this method in this video you randomly get a cracklin and I love cracklins. Plus, it adds cracklin flavor throughout the cornbread! Grandma taught me to cook! Raised in Alabama!
Your Mama is so sweet! Bless her sweet heart !People can say what ever they want cracklin corn bread is the best stuff you ever put in ya mouth! I grew up in rural Ga. but now I live in NY for more than 20 years I havent had any cracklin cornbread in at least that long !I am gonna get me some cracklins and make this!Thank you and your sweet Mama for the recipe and video tutorial
Your mom is so sweet I love my southern ppl..if you're from anywhere in the deep south you have to know crackling bread. They sell cracklins at publix also..wouldn't think they did but they do lol
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?
GREAT video! Your mom seems like a very nice woman - and a good cook. My family loves cornbread - I'll have to look in the stores here in Idaho and see if they can conjure up some cracklins. Can't just used pork rinds, eh? It looks like cracklins have more substance to them. Ever hear of Country Cornbread? Layered with bacon, corn bread batter, onions, jalapenos, cheese, and cooked in a iron skillet (that's about all I cook with). It's a meal in itself. Thanks for the video!
This is the first time I've seen your videos.. sorry to read in the comments of your loss. My Momma was born and raised in Birmingham, AL (I lost her in 2003 at age 65), so I grew up on cracklin' cornbread and love it. Thank you for sharing this wonderful moment with your Momma. It brought back many fond memories of my Momma as well. Some of our happiest times were spent in the kitchen together. I just subscribed and look forward to watching your other videos.
I’m cooking collards and big dry lima beans today for dinner (lunch). I am making cracklings cornbread just like your granny’s, buttermilk and all.....ummmm delicious!!!
Born 'n bred in Alabama, raised on family farm I have carried pocketfuls of leftover cracklin'bread to the field. It would sustain you all day, the greasy paper bag kept it best. At night if you had some left over, put buttermilk in a big glass with warm cracklin' bread. ...Its the best friend you could ever have.
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
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.
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
i have used fried bacon, and also fat back fried up and crispy in my cornbread, and have added cheese upon occasion..........it do go good with potato soup.
im not from the south but man thats some good eats and ur mom is awsome bro my family eats cracklins with a good beer and sports but after watching this i want me sum cracklin cornbread now
Cracklin Cornbread OMG.......... My Grandmother bought Cracklins from Cas Walker stores in East Tennessee this is the BEST that is made in the world. Piggly Wiggly no longer exists in Florida, wonder if walmart or Sav-a-lot has Cracklin. Love this Video.Thank Your Mama Bless her heart
Lot of people laugh at me for not measuring everything, but you got to realize that not too many years ago, people didn't have all these cups and spoons and scales as we have today. I remember my mama used a coffee cup when a receipt called for a cup or a real teaspoon if she used anything at all. She looked a lot like your mom and I miss her a lot. Thanks for the video.
We loved your video! My dad is 82 year old and he loves chili and cornbread so I try to make it at least once a week in the winter. I'm blessed to be able to care for him now that mom has passed💖💞 He is a true joy in my life!
It's wonderful to share your story of family and love of being close. I got to share time with both my mother and father before they passed on. You'll never regret the time and effort. Thanks for sharing, and may the spirit of love always be upon you.
I cared for my Mom 12 years and 8 of those after a massive stroke. I never knew how much I really loved her until we had to live back together as old women. Precious times.
My grandma cooks just like your mom. Not real recipes...they ust know. I have had cracklins many times...and cornbread many times...but never together. Your mom is a sweetie.
You know your sweet grandma wouldn’t have scorched her cracklin cornbread if You hadn’t been distracting her with your camera in her kitchen! Now git !!! 😂 But it still looks delicious 😋 Thank you both for sharing!
