Promise me you will try this one!!! I guarantee a moist, slightly sweet, NOT crumbly corn bread, with NO bitter after taste. I have tried so many corn bread recipes my family is sick of trying them. I have created this recipe from my trials. I like my corn bread to have a nice corn flavor, to be moist and not crumble, and I like it a little sweet. I also DON'T like the bitter after taste so many corn breads have. Give it a shot, you won't regret it!

THE PERFECT CORNBREAD



The Perfect Cornbread image

I got this recipe from America's Test Kitchen. I saw them make it on TV and decided to try it myself. It turned out great, just as they said it would. So why should you try it? It's the perfect combination of a sweet and savory cornbread that will please everyone.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup corn
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly (1 stick)

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Spray 8-inch-square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl until combined; set aside.
  • In food processor or blender, process brown sugar, corn kernels, and buttermilk until combined, about 5 seconds.
  • Add eggs and process until well combined (corn lumps will remain), about 5 seconds longer.
  • Using rubber spatula, make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  • Pour wet ingredients into well.
  • Begin folding dry ingredients into wet, giving mixture only a few turns to barely combine.
  • Add melted butter and continue folding until dry ingredients are just moistened.
  • Pour batter into prepared baking dish; smooth surface with rubber spatula.
  • Bake until deep golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes.
  • Cool on wire rack rack 10 minutes.
  • Best served warm; leftovers can be wrapped in foil and reheated in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal has a more pronounced corn flavor and will produce a moister cornbread. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but be sure to check the expiration date.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in a tough cornbread. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and develop a crispy crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool before serving. Cornbread is best served warm, but it's important to let it cool for a few minutes before serving so that it can set.

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be served with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it sweet or savory, there's a cornbread recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy bread to make, give cornbread a try. You won't be disappointed!
