CHEDDAR DILL CORNBREAD (INA GARTEN) ( BAREFOOT CONTESSA)



Cheddar Dill Cornbread (Ina Garten) ( Barefoot Contessa) image

A recipe from Ina Garten the Barefoot Contessa from the Food Network. I watched the show and had to save this recipe for safekeeping as it looks like the perfect accompaniment to soup, salad, meat or poultry dishes. It is less harsh than her jalepeno version. It looks great. It was on her Potluck episode in which she makes this and takes it to a friend. Prep time includes letting it sit at room temp per her instructions. Yum. Enjoy. ChefDLH

CHEDDAR-DILL SCONES

Provided by Ina Garten

Yield 16 large scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 pound cold unsalted butter, diced
4 extra-large eggs, beaten lightly
1 cup cold heavy cream
1/2 pound extra-sharp yellow Cheddar, small-diced
1 cup minced fresh dill
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water or milk, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine 4 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Mix the eggs and heavy cream and quickly add them to the flour-and-butter mixture. Combine until just blended. Toss together the Cheddar, dill, and 1 tablespoon of flour and add them to the dough. Mix until they are almost incorporated.
  • Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it for 1 minute, until the Cheddar and dill are well distributed. Roll the dough 3/4-inch thick. Cut into 4-inch squares and then in half diagonally to make triangles. Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 20 to 25 minutes, until the outside is crusty and the inside is fully baked.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels. Fresh corn kernels will give your cornbread the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh corn kernels, you can use frozen or canned corn kernels, but fresh is always best.
  • 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.
  • Add-ins. Feel free to add other ingredients to your cornbread, such as chopped green onions, bell peppers, or jalapeƱos. You can also add cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan.
  • Serve warm. Cornbread is best served warm. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave if you need to.

Conclusion:

Cheddar Dill Cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it plain or with add-ins, this cornbread is sure to be a hit!
