Best 4 Hot And Sweet Cornbread Recipes

MOIST & SWEET CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, mist a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick spray, and line with parchment. (If making skillet cornbread, place about 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter in the pan and allow it to preheat in the oven.)
• In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
• Whisk the melted butter, milk, oil, and eggs together in a large liquid measuring cup.
• Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry and stir together until combined.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until fluffy and slightly golden around the edges (a toothpick inserted into the thickest part of the cornbread should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs).
• Cool for about 20 minutes, then cut into slices and serve.

HOT WATER CORNBREAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, salt, and sugar. Add boiling water and shortening; stir until shortening melts.
• Pour oil or bacon fat to a depth of 1/2 inch in a large skillet and heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Shape cornmeal mixture into flattened balls using a heaping tablespoon as a measuring guide. Fry each in hot oil, turning once, until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve at once with maple syrup or honey.

CHEESE AND SWEET-PEPPER CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. In a bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, butter, and eggs.
• Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and stir until just combined (do not overmix). Fold in cheese and chiles with juices until evenly distributed. Transfer to baking pan and smooth top. Scatter pepper rounds evenly over top.
• Bake until golden brown along edges and a tester inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Let cool in pan 5 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack, then invert onto another rack, top-side up. Let cool at least 15 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board. Cut in half lengthwise, then slice each half into small wedges. Serve warm or room temperature.

HOT PEPPER HONEY CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a10-inch cast-iron skillet into the oven to heat.
• Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Add the sliced peppers and toss to coat.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and add 1 stick of the butter to the skillet to melt. Pour into a bowl. Add the buttermilk, eggs and 1/2 cup of the honey to the bowl and whisk together. Stir the buttermilk mixture into the dry mix, then pour the combined batter into the hot skillet. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
• While the cornbread is cooling, mix the remaining stick of butter and 1/4 cup honey with the cayenne and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until completely combined.
• Serve the cornbread with the hot honey.
