SWEET POTATO CORNBREAD



Sweet Potato Cornbread image

I think this is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas, an alternative to the usual sweet potato casserole and plain cornbread. You can probably get 1 cup of mashed sweet potatoes from just one potato, but make two and eat what's left. Adapted from Canadian House and Home magazine.

SWEET POTATO (QUEEN) CORNBREAD



Sweet Potato (Queen) Cornbread image

This recipe comes straight from "The Sweet Potato Queens' Big-Ass Cookbook. Another one of those things where I'm gonna write down the recipe exactly like it's portrayed in the cookbook.....you have to do the Queen's justice. :)

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 50m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
3 sweet potatoes or 1 (16 ounce) can sweet potatoes
2 eggs
6 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil

Steps:

  • Mom's is the ultimate example of a life well-lived. I am in total awe of her. She's smart, accomplished, beautiful-inside and out-loving, courageous, and bubbling over with the sheer joy of living.
  • It's been an easy fifty years for Dad, clearly. To further endear her to me personally, she and her friends turn out some excellent eats! Mom herself makes this sweet potato cornbread that is worth driving all the way to Mountain Pine, Arkansas, for, but you won't have to-here's how you do it.
  • Mix together this dry stuff: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup sugar.
  • Separetely, mix together this wet stuff: 3 sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed (or you may use 1 16 ounce can of sweet potatoes, and in this recipe, it really is okay not to use home-cooked ones, I would tell you if it mattered), 2 eggs, 6 tablespoons milk, and 3 tablespoons oil.
  • Then mix the dry stuff and the wet stuff, just until it's all moist (don't beat it to death), then put it in greased muffin tins and bake at 425 until done-usually about 15 to 20 minutes.

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams)
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 1/3 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 9 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Pierce sweet potatoes in several places. Microwave on high until tender, turning once, about 12 minutes. Cut open and cool. Mash enough potatoes to yield 1 cup packed (reserve remaining potatoes for another use). Place 1 cup mashed potatoes in large bowl. Whisk in eggs and buttermilk.
  • Blend cornmeal and next 6 ingredients in processor. Add butter and blend until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add to egg mixture. Stir just until blended. Transfer to prepared pan.
  • Bake corn bread until deep golden on top and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool in pan on rack. (Can be made ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature up to 2 days or freeze up to 2 weeks. Thaw at room temperature.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh sweet potatoes, corn, and bacon will give your cornbread the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and give it a crispy crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool before serving: This will help the cornbread hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
