CORN DAB Meaning and Definition

1. Corn dab is a term commonly used in the American South to refer to a traditional dish made from cornmeal. It is a type of thick, porridge-like concoction that is prepared by combining cornmeal with varying amounts of water or milk, as well as other optional ingredients such as butter, sugar, and salt. The mixture is then heated and stirred continuously until it reaches a thick consistency. Corn dab is typically cooked over low heat, allowing the cornmeal to fully absorb the liquid and develop a creamy texture.

   The term "corn dab" can also refer to a specific method of cooking cornbread. In this context, corn dab refers to a dollop or a scoop of cornbread batter dropped onto a hot griddle or skillet to form individual small cakes rather than baking the bread in a traditional loaf or pan. This results in cornbread cakes that are smaller in size, often thicker, and have a slightly crispy exterior.

   Corn dab has a long history in Southern cuisine, dating back to Native American tribes who relied heavily on corn as a staple food. This simple yet satisfying dish has remained a beloved comfort food in the region, enjoyed as a side dish or breakfast staple.
