Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
5 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup instant nonfat dry milk

  • In a small bowl, whisk together egg, 3/4 cup water, and melted butter. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients, and pour the egg mixture into it. Stir until just combined.
  • Brush bottom, sides, and inside of skillet lid with vegetable oil; pour in the batter. Cover, and cook over low heat until top feels almost dry, about 35 minutes (check the bottom occasionally to make sure it's not burning; lower heat if necessary).

MINI SKILLET CORNBREAD

My husband says this recipe is close enough to the cornbread his mother used to make, so I consider it a winner. His criteria were to "put butter on the cornbread without it crumbling to pieces" and "be able to break it up into a glass of milk without it turning to mush."

INDIVIDUAL SKILLET CORNBREADS

The scent of freshly baked cornbread brings back a flood of sweet memories for Carla Hall. "Hot cornbread right out of the oven is like a dinner bell to me," she says. Almost every Sunday after church, the chef and her family traveled 30 minutes to her grandmother's house for lunch, and skillet cornbread was always part of the meal. "Granny would cook the cornbread only once we got inside the door," Carla says, and everyone knew it was time to eat when the smell of the finished bread wafted through the air. Today, Carla makes the recipe just as her grandmother did - with cream-style corn and buttermilk - but she adds her own twist: a smear of cinnamon butter on top.

Time 30m

Yield 4 skillet cornbreads

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup canned cream-style corn
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon canola or other neutral oil
1 stick salted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
1/8 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place four 3 1/2-inch cast-iron skillets in the oven. Preheat to 425˚ F.
  • Make the cornbread: In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, corn and 1/4 cup oil.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Using oven mitts or pot holders, take the hot skillets out of the oven. Divide the remaining 1 tablespoon oil between the skillets, quickly tilting the pans so that the oil coats the bottom and sides. Pour the batter evenly into the skillets. The batter will begin sizzling right away.
  • Put the skillets in the oven and bake until the cornbread is golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 13 minutes. Remove the hot skillets from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool slightly.
  • While the cornbread bakes, prepare the cinnamon butter: In a medium bowl, mix the butter, cinnamon, confectioners' sugar and almond or vanilla extract with a rubber spatula. Stir until everything is mixed well and is an even color (no streaks).
  • Serve the cornbread hot or warm with a dollop of cinnamon butter.

SKILLET CORNBREAD

Categories     Bread     Cake     Side     Bake     Kosher

Yield makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons bacon drippings or vegetable oil
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk or buttermilk (plus water as needed)
1 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • HEAT the oven to 450°F. Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Heat the skillet in the oven for about 10 minutes.
  • COMBINE the egg, milk, and remaining 3 tablespoons of bacon drippings in a medium mixing bowl.
  • STIR in the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. The batter should be creamy and pourable like pancake batter. If it seems too thick or thickens while the oven and skillet heat, stir in a little water.
  • POUR the batter into the hot skillet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the edges look deep golden brown and the top is firm to the touch.
  • Corn Cakes
  • You can also make corn cakes with this same batter, a popular carrier for a pile of pulled pork. Heat a greased griddle over medium heat. For each corn cake, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot griddle. Flip when the edges are dry and the bottom side is a deep golden brown. The recipe will make about 12.
  • Note
  • You can substitute 1 1/4 cups self-rising cornmeal mix for the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
1 lb ground beef
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 can diced tomato
1 can kidney bean, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup water
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup milk
3 large eggs
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Make the chili: Heat the olive oil in a 4-quart cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until soft and browned. Add the garlic and jalapeño, and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.
  • Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, until cooked through and browned. If there is a large amount of excess oil, spoon out of the skillet and discard.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, oregano, salt, and water, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the cornbread batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vegetable oil.
  • While whisking continuously, slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until everything is moistened.
  • Remove the chili from the heat and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly across the surface.
  • Pour the cornbread batter over the chili and cheese, and spread evenly all the way to the edges of the pan.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Scoop the chili and cornbread into bowls and garnish with cilantro.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels. Fresh corn kernels will give your cornbread the best flavor. If you don't have fresh corn kernels, you can use frozen or canned corn kernels, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Use a cast iron skillet. A cast iron skillet will give your cornbread a crispy crust and a moist interior. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular baking pan, but your cornbread will not be as good.
  • Preheat your oven. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before you start making your cornbread. This will help ensure that your cornbread cooks evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that your cornbread is cooked through.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help prevent the cornbread from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great side dish for soups, stews, and chili. With so many different recipes to choose from, you are sure to find a cornbread recipe that you will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give cornbread a try!
