- I'm gonna be making some cornbread today
for all the trail riders; we've got some barbecue coming,
and I thought cornbread would be a nice addition to the barbecue.
So the first thing I'm gonna do is add my cornmeal.
I've got a cup of cornmeal,
and then I'm gonna add a cup of flour,
2/3 cup of sugar,
3 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder,
about a half a cup of crisped-up bacon,
a good handful of cheese,
one egg that I just lightly got beat up,
a cup of milk,
a half a cup of bacon fat,
which I rendered when I was cooking the bacon,
and my secret ingredient is gonna be this wonderful bourbon
that's made right here in Wisconsin.
And then I'm just gonna give this a good stir-up.
Now that the batter's mixed together,
I'm gonna let that sit for about an hour
while we go on our trail ride,
and then once we get back, we're gonna get the fire stoked
and cook that right over the fire.
Cheers.

Have the kids help cook the cornbread
right over the campfire.
Serve up pulled pork sandwiches with all the fixings.
Cheers to summer with ripe watermelon slices.
No cowboy campfire's complete without chili.
Have a sip of bourbon and enjoy some country music.
[all laughing]
Well, I hope this has inspired you to have a cowboy campfire,
and I hope you'll gather with us again,
- In unison: Around the Farm Table!
- I'm your host, Inga Witscher.
