Time 35m

Yield 6-8 wedges, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 lb sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 egg
3/4 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Bring sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks (about 2 or 3 medium potatoes) to a boil, covered with water, in a medium saucepan. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, until tender.
  • Drain thoroughly and press through a strainer into a bowl and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Sift together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, pepper, and nutmeg.
  • Add the egg and buttermilk to the sweet potato puree and mix until well blended.
  • In a 8 or 9 - inch ovenproof skillet, heat the butter until just sizzling - about 2 minutes. Swirl the butter in the pan to coat it well. Pour any excess butter into the sweet potato mixture.
  • Quickly add the cornmeal mixture to the sweet potato mixture and stir until blended and pour the batter into the skillet.
  • Bake for 20 or 30 minutes, until lightly golden and the corn bread has pulled away from the sides of the pan. Remove from the oven and cut into wedges.
  • Serve hot!
