Dogtoberfest

Octoberfest tonight at our church. Abby was unhappy it wasn't a Dogtoberfeset with sausages for the doggies.  

 Authentic German band, lots of food made by the church ladies, music, dancing, beer, and wine, and the evening just wouldn't be a Lutheran Octoberfest without half the church in the Bible Study hall doing the "chicken dance" to a trombone, tuba, and accordion. Lots of fun! And a great stress relief for all of the parishioners who were dealing with flooding.


The cornbread is not exactly German food, but it is a dish I'm always asked to bring.


LB’s church cornbread


Mix in very large bowl:
1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup stone-ground cornmeal (ours was from Graue Grist Mill in Oak Brook)
1 Tablespoons baking powder
¾ tsp salt (if using salted butter further down in recipe, reduce to ½ tsp)
¼ cup plus 2 Tablespoons white sugar
(2 boxes of Jiffy Cornbread mix can be substituted for all of the above.)

In another bowl mix:
4 eggs (whisk before adding other ingredients)
2 cups sour cream (16 oz)
1 can cream style corn

Whisk 2 sticks of melted unsalted butter into the wet ingredients

Combine wet and dry ingredients in the largest bowl and stir until combined.

Cook in 13 x 9 pan sprayed with nonstick spray 350 F. oven for 40-45 minutes (ovens may vary slightly)

  1. Mom has her eyes stuck on that onion/cucumber mix. We think we are with Abby - those sausages have got to be so tasty.

    1. Mom got to take home a couple of apple pie bars (Taste of Home recipe, really good) and the one lone square of cornbread that was left out of two 13 x 9 pans. I didn't get a sausage, but Mom did give me an extra Bacon Jerky from Chewy for being good while they were gone.

  3. That looks extra super yummy! Our Oma would like the purple cabbage. She used to cook it with apples this time of year.
