CORNBREAD



Cornbread image

I love tasting different cornbread recipes, and I have to admit, I think this is the best that I've ever tasted. Usually I have to put tons of butter on it, because it's so dry and just doesn't have much taste to it, but this recipe is very moist, and you can eat it alone, it's got a great sweet taste to it. Try it...and let me know what you think. Thanks to Betty Crockers Big Red Cookbook for this great recipe.

BEST CORNBREAD EVER



Best Cornbread Ever image

This is the best cornbread I've ever had. The cottage cheese melts into the batter and tastes great. Try the optional add-ins. This is a great complement to chili.

Provided by Zookeenee

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 50m

Yield 1 pan (9x13), 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 boxes Jiffy corn muffin mix
4 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 (12 ounce) package frozen corn, thawed
1 medium onion, diced fine
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
1 pinch sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Combine all ingredients and mix well -- it will be thicker than you expect.
  • Pour into buttered 9" x 13" casserole dish.
  • Bake in oven for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.
  • This cornbread is very moist and dense.
  • For a little variation, add one or more of the following: a can of chopped green chiles, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, 1 cup of pepperjack cheese, 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  • Let it cool for 10 minutes for best flavor.

Tips for Making the Best Cornbread:

  • Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal has a sweeter, more flavorful taste than older cornmeal. If you can, buy stone-ground cornmeal, which has a coarser texture and a more pronounced corn flavor.
  • Use buttermilk. Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor to cornbread and helps to make it moist. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Stir the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a preheated oven. A preheated oven will help the cornbread to rise and brown evenly.
  • Let the cornbread cool before serving. Cornbread is best when it is slightly warm, but not hot. Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like it sweet or savory, moist or crumbly, there is a cornbread recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a side dish or a quick snack, give cornbread a try.
