SWEET SOUTHERN CORNBREAD
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place two 8-cavity mini loaf pans in the oven to heat up.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, cake flour, sugar and baking powder.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, eggs and salt to a uniform color. Quickly but gently fold the liquid mixture into the dry mixture. It should be a loose batter, not a dough.
- Carefully remove the loaf pans from the oven and quickly spray with cooking spray.
- Divide the batter evenly among 12 cavities of the loaf pans and bake until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 28 to 30 minutes. Rotate the pans 180 degrees halfway through baking.
- Immediately turn the cornbread loaves out of the pans onto a cooling rack to cool. This will also ensure they build a crisp crust.

Tips:
- Use fresh corn. Fresh corn will give your cornbread a sweeter, more flavorful taste. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and brown properly. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before you start baking.
- Let the cornbread cool before serving. Cornbread is best when it is slightly warm or at room temperature. If you cut into the cornbread while it is still hot, it will be crumbly and difficult to serve.
Conclusion:
Sweet cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. Whether you're serving it with fried chicken, pork chops, or a big bowl of chili, cornbread is sure to be a hit. With its sweet, slightly crumbly texture and golden brown crust, cornbread is a classic Southern dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give sweet cornbread a try. You won't be disappointed!
