MOIST AND TENDER CORNBREAD



Moist and Tender Cornbread image

This is moist and delicious. I came up with this recipe as an alternative to the usual dinner rolls always served in restaurants. I wanted to find a way to keep it moist, if there were leftovers....well there never were!! Many times people would opt for a piece of this with honey butter over dessert.I made this in large batches, and didnt really measure to any certain degree, but i think i came up with it for a smaller batch.

I took measurements this time when I whipped up my cornbread. It's a really moist and cakelike cornbread. Cook time is a guess, as I really forgot to take note of how long it was in the oven. Bake until just set.

This was my Mother's recipe for cornbread. She always used honey in it and it was tender, moist, and sweet.

Categories     Other Breads

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c all purpose flour
1/4 c sugar
1 c yellow cornmeal
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 c honey
1 c heavy cream
1/4 c vegetable oil
2 eggs, slightly beaten

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in remaining ingredients just until moistened. Pour into greased 9 inch square baking pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh cornmeal. If you don't have fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but be sure to check the expiration date.
  • To make sure your cornbread is moist and tender, don't overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for the best results. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular baking pan, but the cornbread may not be as crispy.
  • Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the cornbread. This will help ensure that the cornbread cooks evenly.
  • To test if the cornbread is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cornbread is done.
  • Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's a great way to use up fresh corn and it's also a good source of fiber and nutrients. With these tips, you can make the best cornbread you've ever tasted.
