SOUTHERN COUNTRY CORNBREAD
Watching my grandpa make cornbread over the years I am now soo sad I never asked him for the recipe, that and his biscuits are now lost forever, I am trying to recreate them and this is the closest I've come to the cornbread. Though it is nowhere near what he made. It is a tweaking of several recipes and of what I remember, and do not add sugar!! I will cry if anyone does!!

COUNTRY KITCHEN CORNBREAD
This is a mildly sweet, buttery cornbread...quite old-fashioned except for the use of sour cream. However, the sour cream imparts a moistness and delicious flavor.

COUNTRY CORNBREAD
Steps:
- 1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 8x8x2-inch metal or silicone baking pan. 2 Whisk buttermilk and egg in medium bowl to blend then whisk in melted butter and maple flavor. In a separate large bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda to blend. Stir in corn and jalapeño. 3 Add buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients and stir just until blended (do not over mix). Transfer batter to prepared pan (batter will come only about 3/4 inch up sides of pan). 4 Bake cornbread until lightly browned on top and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer pan to rack and cool cornbread completely in pan. The cornbread will crack if taken out of the pan while it is still hot. (Cornbread can be stored for a week if covered tightly with foil and stored at room temperature. It can also be refrigerated or frozen for later use.)
Tips:
- Choose the Right Cornmeal: For a delicious and authentic cornbread, opt for stone-ground or coarse cornmeal. It provides a delightful texture and a rich corn flavor compared to finely-ground cornmeal.
- Balancing Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness level to your preference. Reduce the sugar content if you prefer a less sweet cornbread or increase it for a sweeter flavor.
- Incorporate Fresh Ingredients: Enhance the cornbread's flavor by adding fresh ingredients like sweet corn kernels or roasted bell peppers. You can also incorporate herbs like rosemary or thyme for a touch of savory goodness.
- Mastering the Cooking Process: Pay attention to the cooking temperature and duration. Bake the cornbread at a high temperature initially to achieve a crisp crust, then reduce the heat to ensure the center cooks evenly.
- Achieving the Perfect Texture: For a moist and tender cornbread, avoid overmixing the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense texture. Additionally, allowing the batter to rest for a few minutes before baking helps develop a better texture.
Conclusion:
Cornbread, a staple in Southern cuisine, offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures. Whether you prefer a sweet or savory variety, this versatile bread complements a wide range of dishes. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can create a perfect cornbread that is moist, flavorful, and has a golden-brown crust. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey to create a delicious and satisfying cornbread that will impress your family and friends. Experiment with different recipes, adjust flavors to your liking, and explore the endless possibilities that cornbread has to offer!
