I've asked this before a few weeks ago but the many kind answers I got did not answer my question?!
Is SELF RISING CORN MEAL the same as the cornbread mixes!. Please don't send me more recipes for cornbread!. I know how to bake cornbread and I've saved all the recipes others have sent me!. I could write a book!. LOL I have several recipes that call for cornbread mix!. (Cornbread casserole, cornbread salad, and etc!.) BUT the mix is sweet and we hate sweet cornbread!. SOOOOO, can the self rising cornmeal be a satisfactory substitute!? Is it sweet also!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
according to Aunt Jemima, Self-rising Corn meal has leavening and salt, and is enriched with B vitamins!. It does not contain flour!.
So it is not the same as cornbread mix!.
But the same site talks about corn meal mix which sounds like what you might want instead of cornbread mix for your corn bread!. It doesn't have sugar added!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Self rising cornmeal is the meal with some baking powder/baking soda added to make it self rising!. You can use it - but there will be a difference due to the lack of sugar and flour, and other additives that are in cornbread mix!. No, it isn't sweet as there's no sugar added to the cornmeal!. No, it's not the same as the cornbread mixes either since there's no flour or sugar added, and whatever other crud they add to the mix, like salt, powdered eggs, powdered milk!. The only way to know if you're going to like it or not in a recipe is to try it - or you can just figure out what goes in your cornbread recipe and use that mix in your other recipe that calls for the mix!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I think that it would be more a corn muffin mix than anything, and I hate sweet cornbread too!. Try added shredded carrot or zucchini to it and some frozen corn and see if that helps or add some pepper to it or tabasco to balance out the sweet!. Sweet and spicy is good!.
I've never found that at any store here where I live it basically sounds like a cornbread mix with baking powder and baking soda in it!. Self rising usually means it has those added to it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would think that self rising corn meal would be like self rising flour, meaning that you would not have to add baking powder to your recipe!. To make absolutely sure, look at the ingredients on the bag and it would indicate if there is sugar added, but I doubt there is sugar in it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
No, it's not the same!. Cornbread mix is for making corn bread!. Like add milk and eggs and boom corn bread!. Self rising corn meal is like self rising flour, which you can use to make corn bread also, but with a lot more stuff!. So, definantly, not the same thing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hi, self rising cornmeal is not sweet!.!.!.it is a mixture of cornbread, leavening and salt!.!.!.so I think it will work!.!.!.!.it is just taking out the sugar and additives that are in cornbread mix!.!.!.!.and I have interchanged mix for self rising so you should be fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I would just buy plain cornmeal and reduce the sugar by at least half or try adding something like apple sauce for a hint of very light natural sweet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I think that self rising corn meal would be corn meal with baking powder added!. I have not used it myself but would not expect it to be sweet!. This may not much because it is only my opinion!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Self-rising cornmeal (SRC) is a Southeast (U!.S!.) thing!. It's used to make traditional southern cornbread, which is all-corn, dense, crusty, and not very sweet!. The self-rising cornmeal I've seen is nothing but cornmeal, baking powder and salt!. Does your package have a list of ingredients on it!? If there's no sugar listed, it won't be sweet!. If you don't live in E!. TX, LA, MS, AL, FL, GA, and maybe the Carolinas, you've probably never seen the stuff!.
SRC is not the same as cornbread mix!. Cornbread mix is much more yankee in personality, with more flour than cornmeal, and plenty of sugar!. It usually bakes up almost cakelike!.
So my best guess, without inspecting your pantry, is that this SRC you have is not sweet!. In my opinion, when you're making substitutions, every recipe has to be evaluated on its own merits!. The way I make southern cornbread is to mix the cornmeal with melted fat, a couple beaten eggs, and boiling water!. You put this in a greased skillet heated in a hot oven!. The result is a sorta flat, dense, moist crusty cornbread!. There are real differences in technique between northern and southern cornbread, and they have to do mostly with the lack of flour in the southern variety!.
In recipes, the difference between SRC and cornbread mix is that the mix, because of the flour, will have a firmer texture, and will be less prone to sink into the other ingredients!. So, if I were going to put the SRC batter in a casserole, I would prefer to add just one tablespoon of flour to it, if I could!. But I think it would work without the flour; the batter might sink into the casserole is all!. In the salad, I think a batch of SRC cornbread would work just fine!. Just make the cornbread according to the recipe on the package, or look for one online!.
Short version: SRC is not the same as cornbread mixes!. Not sweet!. Can be substituted in salad; make a batch according to package directions!. In casserole, prefer to add a tbsp of flour, but will probably work without it, but batter might sink into the casserole!.
Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
