CORN GRITS CORNBREAD
This cornbread has a really nice texture. I started making it this way when I got some hand-me-down coarse-ground cornmeal. I think it was Bob's Red Mill brand and my grocery store had it once, but then I couldn't find it for a while. Now they carry Bob's Red Mill "Corn Grits or Polenta". I think it's the same thing.

CORNBREAD MUFFINS WITH WHIPPED SWEET CORN

Yield Makes 9 muffins
Number Of Ingredients 21
Steps:
- Make the muffins: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Generously coat nine wells of a standard muffin tin with coconut oil.
- Put the dates in a small heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Let soak for about 5 minutes. Drain the dates, reserving the soaking liquid, and transfer them to a food processor. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved soaking liquid and process, scraping down the sides and adding more of the reserved soaking liquid if necessary, until mostly creamy but with a few chunks remaining.
- Place the prepared muffin tin in the oven to heat for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, sift together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until blended.
- Put the flaxseeds and 6 tablespoons water in a medium bowl and whisk until well blended. Whisk in the pureed dates and the coconut oil until smooth. Whisk in the oat milk until well combined. Add the oat milk mixture to the cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined.
- When the muffin tin is hot, remove it from the oven and immediately scrape the batter into the prepared muffin cups, distributing it evenly among them (they should be a little over three-quarters full).
- Bake until the muffins are golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool a bit more.
- Make the whipped sweet corn: While the muffins are cooling, in a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring often, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the corn, sugar, and salt and cook, stirring often, until the corn is just tender, about 5 minutes.
- Scrape the contents of the skillet into a food processor. Add the cashew cream and process until silky smooth, adding water as necessary to reach the desired consistency. Taste and season with lemon juice, salt, and white pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve the warm muffins slathered with whipped sweet corn and topped with pepper jelly.
DOUBLE-CORN CORNBREAD
From America's Test Kitchen. I've had some cornbread that is almost cake-like and sweet. If that is what you're looking for, this is not it. This does have a very good, somewhat coarse texture. Perfect served up with your favorite chili! :) They recommended baking this in a cast-iron skillet, but I had very good results usimg a 9-inch round cake pan.

Steps:
- For stuffing:
- Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery; sauté until beginning to color, about 5 minutes. Add apples; sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Mix in sage, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; transfer to large bowl. Let stand until almost cool, about 10 minutes.
- Mix cornbread into vegetables. Add egg and toss to blend. Mix in cheese, then enough apple cider by tablespoonfuls to form stuffing that is moist but not wet.
- Game hens:
- Sprinkle cavity of each hen lightly with salt and pepper. Pack 1 cup stuffing into each (place any leftover stuffing into buttered ramekins and cover with foil). Skewer cavities closed with toothpicks or turkey lacers. Tuck wing tips under; tie legs together to hold shape. Mix sage, coarse salt, and pepper in small bowl; sprinkle over hens.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place 2 hens in skillet. Sauté until brown, turning often with wooden spoons (to prevent tearing skin), about 10 minutes. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet, breast side up. Repeat with remaining hens. Drape 2 bacon strip halves over breast of each hen. Using kitchen string, tie bacon strips in place. (Place any ramekins of stuffing on baking sheet with hens.)
- Place hens (and extra stuffing) in oven. Roast hens until cooked through and juices run clear when thigh is pierced, about 45 minutes. (Roast stuffing 30 minutes.) Cut strings off hens. Transfer hens to plates. Spoon maque choux around hens and serve with extra stuffing.

SWEET! GLUTEN FREE SWEET CORNBREAD OR CORN MUFFINS
Gluten-free, casein-free cornbread for those of you who like cornbread that tastes like cake. You need 6.6 ounces of gluten-free flour, but because everyone's blend is different, volume can differ based on the density of the type of flour you're using (e.g. rice vs. garbanzo bean flour). I use a store-mix that's primarily rice flour with potato and tapioca starches and it comes out to slightly more than 1.5 cups of gluten-free flour.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Grease a 41/2-inch by 81/2 inch loaf pan.
- Pour mixture into pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until golden-brown.
GLUTEN-FREE DOUBLE-CORN CORNBREAD
Steps:
- For the gluten-free flour blend: In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, xanthan gum and salt.
- For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease or spray an 8- by 4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 1 cup of the gluten-free flour blend. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil and vinegar. Stir the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients until just moistened; stir in the corn kernels.
- Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake until golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and serve.
Tips:
- Use Fresh Corn: Fresh corn kernels give the cornbread its signature sweet and juicy flavor. If fresh corn is unavailable, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before using.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dry cornbread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a Cast Iron Skillet: A cast iron skillet is the ideal cookware for cornbread. It distributes heat evenly, resulting in a crispy crust and a tender, moist interior.
- Preheat the Skillet: Preheat the skillet over medium-high heat before adding the batter. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Don't Crowd the Skillet: Don't overcrowd the skillet with batter. This will prevent the cornbread from cooking evenly.
- Bake Until a Skewer Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: The cornbread is done baking when a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
Cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. With its sweet and savory flavor, crispy crust, and tender, moist interior, it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Whether you're making it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, these tips will help you create the perfect cornbread every time.
