Making these as muffins works good too. This is adapted from a recipe in Bon Appetit magazine, Dec. 2002. I am on a mission to get rid of all of my food mags and put the recipes I like on Zaar.

CHEDDAR CORN BREAD



Cheddar Corn Bread image

Categories     Bread     Cheese     Bake     Cheddar     Fall     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal (not stone-ground)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 oz extra-sharp Cheddar, coarsely grated (1 cup)
2 scallions, thinly sliced (1/3 cup)
2/3 cup whole milk
2/3 cup well-shaken buttermilk
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Add Cheddar and scallions and whisk until combined.
  • Whisk together whole milk, buttermilk, eggs, and butter in another bowl, then add to cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
  • Pour batter into a well-greased 9- by 2-inch round cake pan and bake in middle of oven until pale golden and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Cool corn bread in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then turn out onto rack and invert onto a plate before cutting into wedges.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh corn, cheese, and buttermilk will give your cornbread the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cornbread tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: This will help it rise and give it a crispy crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving: This will make it easier to slice and serve.
  • Serve the cornbread with your favorite toppings: Butter, honey, or chili are all great options.
