made by pouring a cornbread like batter into the hot skillet and cooking it stove top. The texture is different as it gets lots of crusty bits, flaky crumbles and dense nuggets of cornbready goodness.


I just had an epiphany.

I am going to make cornbread dressing this way 9using coush coush instead of baked cornbread. I won't do it today, but I will do it soon and I'll report back when that experiment is accomplished.

For my cornbread dressing I always make skillet fried cornbread. I sometimes make corn pones for eating with vegetables because it has a nice texture and a slightly different taste.

should be toward the end of this post

But I have never used those corn pones for making dressing and I'm not sure why - probably because I like the abundance of crispy crust you get from cornbread baked in a cast iron skillet in the oven.

However, your linked Coush Coush method sounds interesting as a cornbread option for cornbread dressing, so that is a project I will investigate sometime soon.

that would be sad if true, few things are better than fresh cornbread with milk

Im from Rayne and I practically grew up on this. Not because we were poor, but because we loved it so much.

To get more technical about it, there was a braising process to fully hydrate the cornmeal. Using a lid, and adding water a little at a time over a low flame, the coush coush would get nice and puffy as opposed to just grainy/gritty. It further differentiated the texture of coush coush vs cornbread.
