GRANDMA'S OLD-FASHIONED CORNBREAD RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Grandma's Old-fashioned Cornbread Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-22546

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
4 tablespoons melted butter (mix into batter)
2 tablespoons butter for the iron skillet

Steps:

  • Preheat the over to 400 degrees fahrenheit. Combine powder, soda, salt, sugar, cornmeal and flour in a large bowl. Combine buttermilk and eggs in a bowl. Place your iron skillet in the oven and put the 2 tablespoons butter into the skillet to melt. (You can substitute a 8x8 pyrex but it's not the same) Pour the buttermilk and egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Then add the melted butter. The batter should be lumpy and just a bit on the dry side. Pour this mixture into the hot iron skillet then bake for 20 minutes or until a knife inserted into it comes out just shy of clean. The primary difference in this recipe is the addition of the sugar. It makes a a sweeter recipe. I also increase the cornmeal and decrease the flour because I like my cornbread to be a bit "cornier."

CORN BREAD



Corn Bread image

Corn bread goes with chili and in dressing during the holidays. This recipe isn't dressed up with cheese or chilies (though you could add some or either or both). It's a basic recipe, made in a cast-iron pan to create a crunchy crust. Keep this recipe on file and make it whenever you need a good sturdy corn bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a more flavorful and tender texture. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but be sure to check the expiration date.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a hot oven. A hot oven will help your cornbread rise and give it a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcook the cornbread. Overcooked cornbread will be dry and crumbly. Cook the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the cornbread warm. Cornbread is best served warm, but it can also be served at room temperature or cold.

Conclusion:

Arkansas cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it sweet or savory, there's an Arkansas cornbread recipe out there for you.

So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying bread, give Arkansas cornbread a try. You won't be disappointed.
