Classic Cornbread image

Matt and Amy Bell, owners of the restaurant South on Main, usually avoid cooking contests. But the cornbread festival was different. "It's more of a community project than a competition," Matt says. "And it's directly outside the restaurant." The pair won the traditional category with their classic cornbread, a recipe developed by Amy's grandmother Nellie Mae. "You don't dare mess with family recipes," Matt says. "And if you do, you better make sure they can't tell."

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn is sweeter and has a better flavor than frozen or canned corn. If you can't find fresh corn, 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 make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: This will help the cornbread rise and give it a crispy crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool before cutting it: This will help the cornbread hold its shape.
  • Serve the cornbread warm with butter and honey: This is the classic way to serve cornbread, and it's delicious!

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be served with a variety of meals. It's easy to make, and it's a great way to use up fresh corn. Whether you like your cornbread sweet or savory, there's a recipe in this article that you'll love.
