Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients until well blended. Put in greased 9-inch round pan.
  • Bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes. Cut in wedges, butter generously and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use real molasses. This is the key to authentic cornbread flavor. Look for unsulphured molasses, which has a more robust flavor than sulphured molasses.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest. This allows the cornmeal to absorb the liquid and results in a more tender cornbread.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. This will help it rise and create a crispy crust.
  • Serve the cornbread warm. Cornbread is best when it's fresh out of the oven. Serve it with butter, honey, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you like it plain, with butter and honey, or dressed up with cheese and chili, there's a cornbread recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy bread to make, give cornbread a try. You won't be disappointed.
