Madison's Mad Facts

Originally released in July, 2025, as a bonus feature for "The Six Shooter." In the episode, Madison devours Ma Benson's cornbread. So for this Mad Facts, Madison interviews professional Southern Cook, Toni Johnson, to talk about the history of cornbread, it's unique traits in different parts of the country and even shares her personal recipe for how to make your own homemade cornbread! (and how it MAY just really be an aphrodisiac)

  • 1/3 cu. sugar (or just sprinkle)
  • 3 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt 1 cu. buttermilk (or 1 cu. whole milk + 1 tsp. white vinegar)
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 tbs. shortening or bacon fat 
    1. Preheat over to 425
    2. Put shortening/bacon fat in pan and let it preheat with the oven
    3. In mixing bowl, add dry ingredients mix/sift together.
    4. Add wet ingredients.
    5. When oven is preheated, pour batter into pan (it should sizzle)
    6. Bake 20 minutes or until golden on top.
    7. Cornbread should easily remove from pan, feel free to use butterknife to loosen the sides if sticking. Enjoy!
