CREAM OF THE CROP CORNBREAD



Cream of the Crop Cornbread image

This Southern-style buttermilk skillet cornbread gets a flavor boost from homemade creamed corn and stone-ground cornmeal.Although there are few things I love more than sitting in a dark closet with a big spoon and an entire batch of creamed corn, occasionally I make extra specifically to use in this bread, which is pretty much the best skillet cornbread I've ever made.And no, using stone-ground cornmeal isn't me just being all foodie and stuff. "Stone-ground" means slowly ground, and that means low heat and preserved flavor. "Stone-ground" also means coarse, and that supplies a toothsome texture to this bread, which is satisfying enough to serve as a main course...that's right, bread as a main course.Both U.S. standard and metric measurements are listed, but for deliciously consistent results, go metric.This recipe first appeared in Season 2 of Good Eats.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 cups stone-ground cornmeal
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
10 fluid ounces low-fat buttermilk
2 large eggs
3/4 cup creamed corn, homemade strongly recommended
2 tablespoons corn or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425ºF and place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the middle of the center rack.
  • Whisk the cornmeal, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the buttermilk, the eggs, and creamed corn.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. If the batter seems a little thick, add a bit more of the buttermilk.
  • Pour the oil into the hot skillet and carefully swirl to coat. Pour in the batter and jiggle the pan to evenly distribute. Bake until the bread is golden brown and springs back when touched, or a digital instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the bread registers 200 to 205°, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for several minutes. Place an inverted dinner place on top of the bread and flip it out of the skillet.
  • Serve with butter.

BETTER THAN GRANNIE'S CREAMED CORN



Better Than Grannie's Creamed Corn image

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 onion, diced
1 tablespoon butter
2 pinches kosher salt
8 ears fresh corn
1 sprig fresh rosemary, bruised
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
1 cup heavy cream
Fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, sweat the onion in butter and salt until translucent.
  • In a large mixing bowl, place a paper bowl in the middle of the bowl. Resting the cob on the bowl in a vertical position remove only the tops of the kernel with a knife, using long smooth downward strokes and rotating the cob as you go. After the cob has been stripped, use the dull backside of your knife to scrape any remaining pulp and milk off the cob.
  • Add the corn and pulp mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium high until the juice from the corn has tightened. Add the rosemary. Sprinkle the corn with the sugar and turmeric. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the cornmeal onto the corn, using a whisk to combine well. Add the heavy cream and cook until the corn has softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the rosemary. Season with freshly ground black pepper.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels for the creamed corn. You can use frozen or canned corn, but fresh corn will give you the best flavor.
  • Make sure to cook the creamed corn until it is thick and creamy. This will take about 15 minutes. If the creamed corn is too thin, it will not hold up well in the cornbread.
  • Use a good quality cornmeal for the cornbread. Stone-ground cornmeal will give you a more flavorful cornbread than regular cornmeal.
  • Make sure to preheat your oven before baking the cornbread. This will help the cornbread rise evenly.
  • Bake the cornbread until it is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

This creamed corn cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist and flavorful, with a slightly sweet and savory flavor. The creamed corn adds a creamy texture and a pop of sweetness to the cornbread, while the cornmeal gives it a slightly gritty texture and a nutty flavor. This cornbread is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
