Provided by Emma Lewis

Categories     Afternoon tea, Buffet, Dinner, Side dish, Snack, Supper

Time 45m

Yield Serves 6 adults, or 4 adults and 4 kids

Number Of Ingredients 9

50g butter, plus extra for greasing
1 small onion, finely chopped
225g fine cornmeal
140g plain flour
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp salt
2 x 284ml cartons buttermilk (or same quantity semi-skimmed milk with a squeeze of lemon juice)
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8. Smear some butter all over a 23cm cake tin or ovenproof frying pan. Melt the butter in a separate pan. Tip in the onion and cook over a gentle heat for 5 mins until softened.
  • Meanwhile tip all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Beat together the buttermilk and eggs in a separate bowl, then stir in the buttery onions. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix together until just combined and you have a batter.
  • Pour the batter into the cake tin or frying pan and smooth the top with a knife. Bake for 25 mins until golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 mins, then turn out, cut into wedges and serve. You can make up to 2 days ahead and store in an airtight container, or freeze for up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal for the best flavor and texture. Fresh cornmeal is more coarse than store-bought cornmeal, which will give your cornbread a more rustic texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before baking. This will allow the cornmeal to absorb the liquid and will help the cornbread rise.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and will give it a crispy crust.
  • Serve the cornbread warm with butter and honey. Cornbread is best served warm, and butter and honey are classic accompaniments.

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With these tips, you can make the perfect cornbread every time.
