Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup 1% low-fat milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Spray muffin tin with nonstick spray or line with paper muffin cups.
  • Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • Stir well.
  • Combine beaten egg, milk and melted butter (if using normal butter add less salt).
  • Stir into the dry mixture and combine just until blended.
  • Chopped jalapenos (from a tin) can also be added, as can chopped red pepper and/or tinned corn kernels.
  • Scoop batter into prepared muffin pans.
  • Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of muffins before baking if desired.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes .

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best for cornbread, but frozen corn can also be used. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk gives cornbread a tender and moist crumb. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix the ingredients until just combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the cornbread rise quickly and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Serve the cornbread warm: Cornbread is best served warm with butter, honey, or jam.

Conclusion:

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