East Coast Grill's Cornbread image

This cornbread, adapted from the one developed by Chris Schlesinger and served at his East Coast Grill in Cambridge, Mass., is lofty and sweet, crusty and cakelike, moist and ethereal. As Sam Sifton said in the 2012 article that accompanied the recipe, it is "the cornbread to become a child's favorite, to become the only cornbread that matters. All else is not cornbread."

Categories     dinner, lunch, breads, side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup melted butter
2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Lightly oil a 9-inch cast-iron skillet and put it in the oven to heat up.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt and baking powder. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and oil. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients, add the melted butter and the corn and stir together until just mixed.
  • Remove the hot cast-iron pan from the oven and pour into it the batter, then give the pan a smack on the countertop to even it out. Return pan to oven and bake, approximately 1 hour, until the corn bread is browned on top and a toothpick or a thin knife inserted into the top comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen corn. Fresh corn is best, but frozen corn can also be used. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough cornbread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and develop a crispy crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the cornbread with your favorite toppings. Cornbread can be served with butter, honey, or jam. It can also be used as a side dish for chili, soup, or stew.

Conclusion:

New Mexico cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its unique flavor and texture, New Mexico cornbread is a must-try for any cornbread lover.
