Corn Bread

Recipe Description

This is from the 1989 Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I'm posting it here partly because in another thread I said I would, and partly because I love this cornbread. I like to put in the full amount of sugar.

Preparation Steps:Level of Difficulty:

Easy

Time Needed:

5-10 min. prep, 20-25 baking time

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
2 to 4 Tbsp. sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup cooking oil or shortening, melted

Serves:

8-9 servings

Directions:

In a mixing bowl stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl beat together eggs, milk and oil or melted shortening. Add to flour mixture and stir just till batter is smooth.

Pour into a greased 9x9x2 inch baking pan (I use a round glass pie pan). Bake in a 425 F oven for 20-25 minutes or till golden brown.

Thanks! I grew a really nice crop of tomatoes last summer, but never got any pictures, so my avatar picture is something I found somewhere online.

Looks delicious. I love cornbread. I have two now from FV to try.

My kids love cornbread, but I've never tried to make it. Perhaps I'll buy some cornmeal and try it. This is going to sound really, REALLY stupid, but where in a grocery store would you find cornmeal?

It's in the baking aisle (with the sugar, flour, etc) in my grocery store. HTH

Here is my recipe from the cooking class

1-1/4 cups cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup vegetable oil

In a bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, sugars, baking soda and salt. In second bowl, beat together the egg, buttermilk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Pour into a greased 9-in. round or square baking pan. Bake at 425° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool and serve with honey butter

I tried this last week and every one loves it, I had it stale and crumbled into left over black eyed peas.

I make my cornbread in my iron skillet and I use the fat from my bacon. I put the iron skillet right in the oven to bake it.

I do the same as bears3 I heat my iron skillet in the oven first then butter the pan and then put the corn mixture in and the edges get nice and crispy and the middle is moist and crumble...just perfect.. Will never make in regular pan again...
