CORN GRITS CORNBREAD

This cornbread has a really nice texture. I started making it this way when I got some hand-me-down coarse-ground cornmeal. I think it was Bob's Red Mill brand and my grocery store had it once, but then I couldn't find it for a while. Now they carry Bob's Red Mill "Corn Grits or Polenta". I think it's the same thing.

GRITS CORNBREAD

I normally don't like cornbread because I have yet to find a recipe that isn't too sweet for our tastes. This one sounds like it might be the winner. From Taste of the South.

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups stone-ground white cornmeal (not self-rising)
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup stone-ground yellow corn grits
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425. Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in oven to heat.
  • In a large bowl, stir together cornmeal, flour, grits, baking powder and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk and eggs. Add to cornmeal mixture, stirring until just combined.
  • Remove skillet from oven and add butter to hot skillet. When butter has melted, swirl skillet to coat bottom and sides. Pour excess butter into batter and stir. Pour batter into skillet.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until browned and has begun to pull away from sides of skillet. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto plate and cut into wedges.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread and grits a more flavorful and authentic taste. If you can, buy it from a local mill or farmer's market.
  • Season Generously: Both cornbread and grits can handle a lot of seasoning. Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and other spices to taste.
  • Use the Right Milk: For a richer flavor, use whole milk or buttermilk in your cornbread and grits. If you're looking for a lighter option, you can use skim milk or almond milk.
  • Don't Overcook: Cornbread and grits are best when they are slightly undercooked. This will give them a tender and moist texture.
  • Let It Rest: Once you've cooked your cornbread and grits, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the textures to set.

Conclusion:

Cornbread and grits are two delicious and versatile dishes that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect cornbread and grits every time. So what are you waiting for? Give these recipes a try and see for yourself how easy and delicious they are!
