Directions
Crumblin' is a traditional Texas dish/drink characteristic of the Texan's penchant for "waste not, want not." In the early days of Texas statehood, cornmeal flour was more readily available than wheat flour. Consequently, corn bread was a prevalant dish in most households. There was always leftover corn bread, and since most Texans had a family cow, buttermilk from the cow was mixed with the bread into an interesting "drink." It's not for everyone, but those who grew up during the Depression remember the concoction well.
Pour buttermilk to fill a large glass ⅔ full. Then take fresh-made or day-old corn bread and crumble into glass of buttermilk. Let soak to desired consistency and drink. One variation includes a tablespoon of finely minced sweet white onions.
