Cornbread

Makes 1 eight-inch square loaf



1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup yellow cornmeal

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup milk

2 large eggs

1. Heat oven to 425° with rack in center. Butter an 8-inch-square baking pan, and set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and eggs until frothy. Pour the milk-and-egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until the ingredients are just incorporated. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy. Pour the batter into prepared pan. Cook until top is golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out dry, 20 to 25 minutes.

Answer 2

Ingredients that work in my kitchen:

1 1/4 cups white, self-rising, stone-ground corn meal
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
about 3/8 cup of Crisco
#6 cast iron skillet
Finally the cooking instructions


Preheat the oven to 425-degrees with the Crisco in the skillet and the skillet in the oven.
Put the cornmeal in a bowl
Put the egg on top of the cornmeal
Put most of the buttermilk on top of the egg
Slowly whisk the cornmeal-egg-buttermilk mixture until it has an even texture, add more buttermilk until the texture is right
Remove the skillet from the oven
Tilt and rotate the skillet so that the melted shortening coats all parts of the interior part of the skillet.
Pour most of the melted shortening into the batter
Leave enough shortening to 'fill the corners' of the skillet (about 1/8 cup, maybe less, maybe more)
Blend the melted shortening into the cornmeal, the texture will thicken slightly.
The final texture should be such that if you pour a tablespoon of the batter onto itself, it firsts stands up a little on top but mostly blends back into the batter in 10-30 seconds. One of my earlier and persistent mistakes was making the batter too thick.
Pour the batter into the skillet and bake for about 25 minutes or until perfect.
How to recognize a successful cornbread:

The bottom and side crusts should be 1/16 to 3/32 inch thick, and deliciously crusty
The top should be a nice uneven brown, with slight crust
The insides should be moist and delicious.
The texture might be most-appreciated just behind your front teeth and close to your gums for about an inch toward the back of your mouth
However, the texture should be excellent to all parts of your mouth. (The stone ground corn meal helps here)
Everybody eats it all up right away. The corn pone, if you will let me misuse that word, should not last more than 1/2 to 3/4 hours

Answer 3

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1-cup cornmeal
5 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2-teaspoon salt
1-cup milk
1/3-cup canola oil
1 large egg, slightly beaten

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease and 8 or 9-inch square pan.

Sift dry ingredients into mixing bowl. Form a well in the mixture and add the milk, oil, and egg. Stir just until everything is combined – there should still be scattered clumps of flour, about the size of baby peas or BBs.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 24 to 30 minutes, until the cornbread is starting to brown slightly (especially at the edges) and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Serve hot.

I luv this!!

Answer 4

Chi-Chi's Sweet Corn Cake

1/2 cup butter -- softened
1/3 cup masa harina
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups frozen corn -- thawed
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp heavy cream
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Blend the butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until creamy.
Add the masa harina and water to the butter and beat until well
combined. Put the defrosted corn into a blender or food processor
and, with short pulses, coarsely chop the corn on low speed. You want
to leave several whole kernels of corn. Stir the chopped corn into
the butter and masa harina
mixture. Add the cornmeal to the mixture. Combine.
In another medium bowl, mix together the sugar, cream, salt, and
baking powder. When the ingredients are well-blended, pour the
mixture into the other bowl and stir everything together by hand. Pour
the corn batter into an ungreased 8x8-inch baking pan. Smooth the
surface of the batter with a spatula. Cover the pan with aluminum
foil.

Place this pan into a 13x9-inch pan filled one-third of the way up
with hot water.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the corn cake is cooked through.

When the corn cake is done, remove the small pan from the larger pan
and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. To serve, scoop out each
portion with an ice cream scoop or rounded spoon.

the supermarket. --

I always make cornbread the way it says on the box, but my great grandmother showed me that if you add some sugar to it, it makes it taste sooooo much better.
I don't know the exact amount, I just add some, stir, taste, and judge from there.
