Garden Vegetable Cornbread image

When I was a kid, my parents would make cornbread for my siblings and me. We would slather butter and maple syrup over the warm bread-it was delicious. Today I experiment a lot with recipes, just as my grandma and mom did, and that's how my version of their easy cornbread recipe was born! -Kim Moyes, Kenosha, Wisconsin

CLASSIC CORNBREAD



Classic Cornbread image

Matt and Amy Bell, owners of the restaurant South on Main, usually avoid cooking contests. But the cornbread festival was different. "It's more of a community project than a competition," Matt says. "And it's directly outside the restaurant." The pair won the traditional category with their classic cornbread, a recipe developed by Amy's grandmother Nellie Mae. "You don't dare mess with family recipes," Matt says. "And if you do, you better make sure they can't tell."

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. Just be sure to drain the canned corn kernels well before using them.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. A well-seasoned cast-iron skillet will help your cornbread cook evenly and give it a crispy crust. If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a regular baking dish.
  • Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cornbread is cooked through.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help the cornbread hold its shape.
