CHEDDAR DILL CORNBREAD (INA GARTEN) ( BAREFOOT CONTESSA)



Cheddar Dill Cornbread (Ina Garten) ( Barefoot Contessa) image

A recipe from Ina Garten the Barefoot Contessa from the Food Network. I watched the show and had to save this recipe for safekeeping as it looks like the perfect accompaniment to soup, salad, meat or poultry dishes. It is less harsh than her jalepeno version. It looks great. It was on her Potluck episode in which she makes this and takes it to a friend. Prep time includes letting it sit at room temp per her instructions. Yum. Enjoy. ChefDLH

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 piece of cornbread, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups milk
3 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 lb unsalted butter, melted, plus extra to grease the pan
8 ounces aged extra-sharp white cheddar cheese, grated, divided
1 cup minced fresh dill

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and butter. With a wooden spoon, stir the wet ingredients into the dry until most of the lumps are dissolved. Don't overmix!
  • Mix in 2 cups of the grated Cheddar and the dill, and allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking pan.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle with the remaining grated Cheddar.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool and cut into large squares.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn. Fresh corn will give your cornbread the best flavor. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Grind your own cornmeal. If you can, grind your own cornmeal. This will give you the freshest, most flavorful cornmeal. If you don't have a cornmeal grinder, you can buy cornmeal from the store.
  • Use buttermilk. Buttermilk will give your cornbread a tangy flavor and a moist texture. 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 your cornbread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and give it a crispy crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool before serving. Let the cornbread cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be made with a variety of ingredients. With these tips, you'll be able to make the perfect cornbread every time.
