Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup oil
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 beaten eggs
sliced cheddar cheese, opional (sandwich cheese is best)
1/2 cup salsa (optional)

Steps:

  • combined dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • combined wet ingredients in a small bowl.
  • pour wet ingredients into dry and mix.
  • melt butter in the oven in the 8x8" pan first and coat the pan. Then add once ingredients are mixed, stir and pour into pan. Bake at 425 until lightly golden. About 20-25 minute.
  • Optional - Pour 1/2 the batter into the pan, lay the cheddar cheese slices on it, carefully spread the salsa over that, then pour in the rest of the batter. Bake the same as above.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a better flavor and texture than old cornmeal. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can substitute all-purpose flour, but your cornbread will be less flavorful.
  • Use buttermilk. Buttermilk will give your cornbread a tender crumb and a slightly tangy flavor. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute sour milk or plain yogurt.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and give it a crispy crust. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before you start baking the cornbread.
  • Let the cornbread cool before serving. Cornbread is best served warm, but it's important to let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the cornbread set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It's also a great snack or breakfast food.
