Adapted from the RSVP section of an old issue of Bon Appetit. This recipe was from a resort in the Cayman Islands. This is a sweeter, more cake-like cornbread and has a bit of rum in it.

Time 55m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup evaporated milk
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease a 9-inch square baking pan well.
Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Whisk together both types of milk, eggs, butter, rum, and vanilla in another bowl.
Combine both mixtures using a wooden spoon, just enough to dampen all ingredients (it will still be a bit lumpy).
Pour into prepared pan and bake until golden brown and cake tester comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
Let cool on rack slightly before cutting into 12 small squares.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh corn, buttermilk, and eggs will give your cornbread the best flavor and texture.
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 brown properly. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before you start baking.
Don't open the oven door during baking: Opening the oven door during baking will cause your cornbread to fall. Resist the temptation to peek!
Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. Whether you like it sweet or savory, there's a cornbread recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give one of these Cayman Islands cornbread recipes a try.
