I have created this recipe from my trials. I like my corn bread to have a nice corn flavor, to be moist and not crumble, and I like it a little sweet. I also DON'T like the bitter after taste so many corn breads have. Give it a shot, you won't regret it!

Time 25m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar, less if preferred
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Add wet ingredients and mix well.
  • Pour into a greased 9-10 inch dish about 2 inches deep, I use a 10 inch cast iron skillet.
  • Bake for 18-23 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
  • DO NOT OVER BAKE! This causes it to crumble. I bake mine just until it starts to crack, 20 minutes.
  • ENJOY!
  • You can also make these in corn stick pans, bake for 12 to 18 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal will have a sweeter, more flavorful taste than older cornmeal. If you can, try to find stone-ground cornmeal, as it has a more coarse texture that will give your cornbread a better texture.
  • Add Sugar: Sugar is essential for making sweet cornbread. The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference, but a good starting point is 1/2 cup.
  • Use Buttermilk: Buttermilk will give your cornbread a lighter, fluffier texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake at a High Temperature: Cornbread should be baked at a high temperature (400°F) so that it will rise quickly and have a crispy crust.
  • Serve Warm: Cornbread is best served warm, right out of the oven. You can also toast it or grill it for a crispy texture.

Conclusion:

Sweet cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With the right ingredients and a little bit of care, you can make a perfect batch of sweet cornbread that will be enjoyed by everyone at your table.
