cuz we going to preheat right 375 and then we start all right so look I'm going to start with my sweet potatoes right what you want to do is you want to cut the you want to peel them and then you want to cut them in equal parts and you want to boil them you know what I mean so that you can get them you know nice and soft right now for the sake of that argument I can put these down right here we do a little bit of that TV mag magic I'll grab this right here and Bam there you go all right so this is what you going to need to make your cornbread you know your sweet potato cornbread right but I just want to show you guys you want to just cut them down just the way you see right here you know what I mean but you're only going to need so much I'm going to make a couple of these but I just wanted to show you guys you know the process peel boil once they ni nice and soft you can get here use your pastry dish I mean your pastry uh utensils or you can do it old school and just do it with a fork they nice and soft now all right so as always I tell you guys you know when measure out your ingredients you you know you line them up as you going to need them right so you already been to my website smoking gab.com that's wab.com right you didn't printed it out you didn't got all your uh ingredients out like I got them here now this step right here we're going to go with the flour cornmeal and everything you see right here get yourself a bowl real simple what we want to do is we just want to put all of this in here all right I usually don't measure out my salt you know what I mean so let's say we going to need about a teaspoon I put about two generous pinches in there and that's enough for me right now get yourself a whisk let's go ahead and combine all these ingredients together so what I'm going to do now just so I can get this out of my way I'm going to go ahead and put a little heat in my cast iron and if I had set it already I'm going to make my corn braid in here such a better you know presentation you know having the dark against the yellow or we just call it light as far as uh you know the art the art way of saying it you got Light ingredients in a dark background that right there makes it real real [Music] nice all right so I melted my shortening you guys don't have to you can take it put it on a paper towel and wipe it that way but this right here is a well seasoned you know cast iron you see how it beads up like that that's what you would like for it to do you know what I mean so I'm going to set this over here on my stove for a second now I'm going go ahead and get my stand mixer you know what I mean uh you guys are going to like this okay folks look I just wanted to say this part right here you saw I had an extra thing of cornmeal listen it's the way I measured it out you got to put all the cornmeal all your dry should be in here right and I can tell you this when you whisking this together it should smell like holiday and really specifically if you ask me I think it smell like Thanksgiving you know what I mean so now we going to move on to the next part right this is what I'm going to do here here now here we got yogurt don't forget if you don't have no yogurt you can always uh substitute you know with sour cream eggs brown sugar sweet potato and then butter now I kind of just imagine imaginary let me just put this down down here this is what's getting ready to go in here right now right so let's go ahead and let me move this over so I can get it on my side there we go what I'm going to do is put my eggs in the inside all right so once you get that in there I'm going to go ahead and just add my now don't forget this is sour cream right didn't have any yogurt but you all you guys already know and then listen if you don't know we got to start using Google for what it's worth you know what I mean that's where we get a lot of that information from you know I mean so all you got to do is if you don't have something or if you're allergic to something and you want to know what the substitution is just ask Google right so I'm going to raise this up I'm going start off on low and get this going all right deal with it on low I'm going to take my brown sugar and just start crumbling this in the inside now because I measure out my ingredients you know way before I actually start filming that's why you guys see that it was like a little bit hard on one side but once it hit that liquid in there it it breaks up now we'll add our sweet potatoes and then last but not least our butter all right so now once you have everything you know completely combined here right I'm going to turn this down what we going to do is we got buttermilk left and then we got our dry ingredients right so I'm going to go ahead and put in a little bit of the dry let that mix then we going to add a little bit of the uh buttermilk so now I'm going to start with my dry we just put a little bit in here at the time just like you see right it it start to dry out now I'll come with a little bit of buttermilk all right now I come back with a little bit more dry you guys get the picture now if you come in here and you can take a look at it I still see flour and a little cornmeal on the side right so I'm going to go ahead drop this down a little bit and I'm going to take my spatula right and we just want to run it along the edge just to get everything off cuz we want it all completely you know thoroughly mixed all right so this is completely you know mixed looking good I'mma shut that off you guys can see I got my pan my cast iron right so this is what I was telling you guys earlier you can always take shortening you know what I mean just take it get yourself a paper towel you know what I mean if you want to you can just wipe it along the side right I do this all some some sometimes I do it another way I'll put this in here and then I'll drop some cornmeal in here right just so that it won't stick but this right here do it you see that right there just a little melt in the beginning or you can do do it all just this way all right so now I guess everything really now is really self-explanatory right so what we do is we just go ahead and add all of our sweet potato cornbread mix in here we got it properly greased we don't have to worry about nothing sticking at the end [Music] right all right so you see I take just like you baking a cake you know you run your spatula across the top tap it down let it sit up for a minute let's see if it you know burp up any uh air pockets or any you know air air bubbles or in the inside now since we already preheated at 375 we going to go into the oven now and so the the bake time will be 30 to 35 minutes so we put that in there just like that I'll see you guys in about 30 minutes don't forget we going to take a topick you know what I mean stick it in there until it comes clean once that becomes clean that's when it's ready all right folks so look this this what it look like when it come out right there I want you guys to pay attention to like look at the edge right there by using that shortening you know what I mean uh you guys can get a little bit of this with the butter but if you use any type of oil it kind of like fries on the edge and that right there be that fire too so let me go ahead and get this cut up and then we going to take a sample all right folks so look after I got through taking pictures of this that's what brought y'all here right and don't forget it's the holiday when when you say sweet potato why not put the cornbread on it too listen I feel like I'm really rambling so I'm going to go in here and get me a little bit of this right here you know what I mean oh my goodness look guess what folks cheers I'm
