CORN GRITS CORNBREAD

Corn Grits Cornbread image

This cornbread has a really nice texture. I started making it this way when I got some hand-me-down coarse-ground cornmeal. I think it was Bob's Red Mill brand and my grocery store had it once, but then I couldn't find it for a while. Now they carry Bob's Red Mill "Corn Grits or Polenta". I think it's the same thing.

I normally don't like cornbread because I have yet to find a recipe that isn't too sweet for our tastes. This one sounds like it might be the winner. From Taste of the South.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups stone-ground white cornmeal (not self-rising)
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup stone-ground yellow corn grits
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter

In a large bowl, stir together cornmeal, flour, grits, baking powder and salt.

Tips:

Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal will give your grits cornbread a more flavorful and textured result.
Soak the cornmeal before cooking. Soaking the cornmeal for at least 30 minutes before cooking will help to soften it and make it more tender.

Cook the grits cornbread over low heat. Cooking the grits cornbread over low heat will help to prevent it from burning and allow it to cook evenly.
Stir the grits cornbread frequently. Stirring the grits cornbread frequently will help to prevent it from sticking and ensure that it cooks evenly.
Add your favorite toppings. Once the grits cornbread is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings, such as butter, honey, maple syrup, or fruit.
