Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups cornmeal, medium-grind or finer*
1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour, regular whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 large eggs, at room temperature**
2/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1 1/2 cups milk of choice (regular cow's milk, almond or oat milk, etc.), at room temperature
Optional serving suggestions: additional butter, honey or jam

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the butter in a large (12-inch) cast iron skillet and place the skillet in the oven to melt the butter, about 5 to 13 minutes (keep an extra eye on it as time goes on-we want it to get bubbly and lightly browned, but not burnt).
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Stir to combine, and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and honey until fully blended. Add the milk and whisk until evenly combined.
  • Pour the liquid into the dry mixture, and stir just until moistened through (we'll stir it more soon). When the butter is melted and golden, use oven mitts (the skillet is crazy hot!) to remove the skillet from the oven, and give it a gentle swirl to lightly coat about an inch up the sides.
  • Pour the melted butter into the batter and stir just until incorporated. Pour the batter back into the hot skillet, using a spatula to scrape all of the batter from the bowl into the skillet.
  • Carefully return the skillet to the oven and bake until the bread is brown around the edge, springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Carefully (with oven mitts), place the skillet on a cooling rack. Let it cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving-perhaps with extra butter, honey or jam on the side.
  • This cornbread will keep at room temperature in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or up to a week in the refrigerator. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Gently reheat before serving.

SWEDISH CORNBREAD



Swedish Cornbread image

I found this recipe in the November 1995 issue of Bon Appetit. It is a moist, sweet cornbread that makes a nice accompaniment to breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also delicious right out of the oven slathered in butter. You can prepare it a day ahead, just cool the bread completely, cover with foil and store at room temperature. This also makes yummy muffins.

Cast Iron Skillet Corn Bread image

This is a great recipe and tastes better, I find, when cooked in a cast iron skillet and served hot tableside. I have also served this recipe for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Whether with jam and butter or fried chicken on the side, there are rarely leftovers!

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 cups coarsely ground cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup whole milk
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a 9-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat while you make the batter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk in the milk, buttermilk, and eggs. Whisk in almost all of the melted butter, reserving about 1 tablespoon for the skillet later on.
  • Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of the hot skillet with the remaining butter. Pour the batter into the skillet and place it in the center of the oven. Bake until the center is firm and a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels. Fresh corn kernels will give your cornbread a sweeter, more flavorful taste. If you don't have fresh corn kernels, you can use frozen or canned corn kernels, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the cornbread to rise and brown properly.
  • Let the cornbread cool before serving. Cornbread is best served warm, but it is important to let it cool for a few minutes before serving so that it can set.

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you like it plain, with butter, or with honey, cornbread is a perfect addition to any meal. With these tips, you can make perfect cornbread every time.
