GRANDMA'S OLD-FASHIONED CORNBREAD RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Grandma's Old-fashioned Cornbread Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-22546

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
4 tablespoons melted butter (mix into batter)
2 tablespoons butter for the iron skillet

Steps:

  • Preheat the over to 400 degrees fahrenheit. Combine powder, soda, salt, sugar, cornmeal and flour in a large bowl. Combine buttermilk and eggs in a bowl. Place your iron skillet in the oven and put the 2 tablespoons butter into the skillet to melt. (You can substitute a 8x8 pyrex but it's not the same) Pour the buttermilk and egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Then add the melted butter. The batter should be lumpy and just a bit on the dry side. Pour this mixture into the hot iron skillet then bake for 20 minutes or until a knife inserted into it comes out just shy of clean. The primary difference in this recipe is the addition of the sugar. It makes a a sweeter recipe. I also increase the cornmeal and decrease the flour because I like my cornbread to be a bit "cornier."

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a better flavor and texture than cornmeal that has been sitting on the shelf for a while.
  • Use buttermilk. Buttermilk will help to make your cornbread moist and tender. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help to create a crispy crust and a moist interior.
  • Let the cornbread cool before slicing it. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
