Time 55m

Yield 1 Loaf, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup cornmeal (yellow)
1 cup flour (all-purpose)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 (10 ounce) can creamed corn (10-12 oz can variation is OK)
1/4 cup shortening (Crisco)
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter (do not add to mix, read directions for use)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  • First, add all of the dry ingredients together and mix - this will help keep the distribution of ingredients even. Use the cornmeal, flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Then, add the remaining ingredients in any order and mix. Use the eggs, milk, creamed corn, shortening, and honey.
  • Using a mixer or a whisk, combine all of the ingredients until well mixed. Note: These mix easily so using a whisk and some elbow grease does the job just fine.
  • Add the mixture to a "prepared" baking dish. You can prepare any baking dish by coating it with cooking spray or - as I like to do - use a paper towel to collect some Crisco and simply rub the dish until it's coated.
  • Bake at 425°F for about 40-45 minutes. To see if the corn bread is ready, insert a table knife into the center and pull it out. If it's dry, you're dish is done. If it's still got some wet batter on it - let it cook for another 5 minutes - checking in intervals. Be careful not to overcook. You want the top of the corn bread to be delicately browned, but not so browned that you now have a hardened crust, so just keep an eye on it during the last leg of baking.
  • Now -- to use the butter!
  • Immediately after you remove the corn bread from the oven, drag as much as 2 tbsp of butter over the top slowly, allowing it to melt as you brush the top of the corn bread. The 2 tbsp (especially if you're using slices of butter from a stick of butter) should be enough to adequately coat the entire loaf. This is an important step. You might think it's just for flavor, but the butter actually softens the top of the corn bread and keeps the texture from becoming too firm or stale. As the butter melts and seeps down into the body of the corn bread, it adds further moisture to the dish, without turning the corn bread into a soft mush like it sometimes can if you slap a spoonful onto an open slice.
  • Let the corn bread sit for about 2-4 minutes, allowing the butter to do its job. Then serve!

MOM'S SWEET BUTTERMILK CORN BREAD



Mom's Sweet Buttermilk Corn Bread image

This corn bread is a little on the sweet side. It's made with white cornmeal, but yellow works too. I learned to make it from my other mom (MIL). It is baked in a cast-iron skillet. Can be used to make stuffing or put leftovers in a cup with milk and put it in the fridge overnight for a comforting breakfast.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn will give your cornbread the best flavor. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a hot oven: A hot oven will help your cornbread rise and give it a crispy crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving: This will help it to hold its shape.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Cornbread is delicious on its own, but it's even better with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, honey, syrup, and chili.

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you like it sweet or savory, there's a cornbread recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy bread to make, give cornbread a try. You won't be disappointed!
