YANKEE CORNBREAD

I played with cornbread recipes until I made a batch my husband would actually eat. It's similar to spoonbread, but not as eggy. Very moist and pretty sweet, this is NOT southern cornbread! :)

YANKEE CORNBREAD



Yankee Cornbread image

I posted my southern "Johnny Reb Cornbread" already. Yankee cornbread has sugar and is more cakelike and as I said it has a place on the table too. I often add other ingredients to Yankee cornbread but would NEVER add even a grain of sugar to my Johnny Reb cornbread for fear of my ancestors haunting me with bad dreams of...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 c flour
1 c cornmeal
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 c sugar
1 large egg
1/4 c melted butter
milk

Steps:

  • 1. Stir together dry ingredients. Then add egg, oil, and enough milk to make a batter a bit thinner than brownie batter but thicker than cake batter. Pour this into greased 9x9 inch pan. Bake in a pre-heated 400 degree oven about 20-30 minutes till done and lightly browned on top.
  • 2. Notes: Now should you desire to add the additives you just put them in with the exception of sour cream, if adding sour cream, you add ½ teaspoon baking soda and add the sour cream before the milk.
  • 3. I like to omit the sugar then put in a bit of sour cream, chopped jalapenos, a handful of whole kernel corn, a handful of shredded mexican cheese, and a bit of chopped cilantro for a nice Mexican cornbread.

FANTABULOUS YANKEE CORNBREAD



Fantabulous Yankee Cornbread image

A little sweeter than Southern and really good! Make this in a 9 inch cast iron skillet for the best results and it may become your favorite corn bread too! DH loves this with Recipe #272121 and fried potatoes. UPDATE!!! YES! I did omit 4 teaspoons of baking powder in the recipe! Mea Culpa! It should be sifted along with the dry ingredients. I am so sorry and thank you for pointing it out to me. SA :( I have corrected the recipe.

Time 40m

Yield 1 cornbread, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon table salt (table salt, not kosher)
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup oil (please do not use canola oil or you will get a heavy, greasy result)
1 tablespoon shortening (I use Crisco)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Once the oven is hot start the recipe since you want a screaming hot oven.
  • Grease the bottom and sides of the cast iron skillet with the shortening. Use more than 1 tablespoon if you need to get more coverage.
  • By hand, sift all the dry ingredients together and stir them to make sure they are combined and make a well in the center.
  • Combine the eggs, milk and oil and mix well.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir only until they combine. I fold them together with a spatula.
  • Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
  • Gently pour into your cast iron skillet being careful not to deflate the batter.
  • Bake in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

SOUTHERN CORNBREAD AND YANKEE CORNBREAD



Southern Cornbread and Yankee Cornbread image

I had to smile when I saw this recipe in my grandma's recipe files. It is hand written on a now yellowed piece of paper with tattered edges in my grandmothers own handwriting. I never saw my grandmother read from a recipe when she cooked or baked anything. She had successfully owned and cooked in 3 eateries during her life, the...

grandma put a lot of love in all her recipes, both, southern and northern

Steps:

  • 1. SOUTHERN CORNBREAD 2 eggs 2cups buttermilk 1 tsp. baking soda 2 cups white cornmeal 1 tsp. salt Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Generously grease iron skillet with 3 tablespoons lard and heat in oven while mixing batter. Beat eggs and add buttermilk In another bowl, stir cornmeal, baking soda, and salt. Add egg mixture all at once and beat with rotary beater until smooth. Pour hot lard into batter and mix. Pour mixture into heated iron skillet and bake in hot oven 20 to 25 minutes or just until set. Slice pieces and serve hot with fresh butter. Makes 9 servings. Note: Some southern women add 1 tsp. sugar to the dry ingredients.
  • 2. YANKEE CORNBREAD 1 c. sifted flour 1/4 c. sugar 4 tsp. baking powder 3/4 tsp. salt 1 cup yellow cornmeal 2 eggs 1 c. milk 1/4 c. soft lard Sift together in bowl, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in cornmeal. In a small bowl beat eggs with fork, add milk, and lard. Add all at one time to cornmeal mixture. Stir with fork until flour is just moistened. Even if batter is lumpy, do not stir any more. Pour into well greased 9 inch square pan. Bake in hot oven, 425 degrees, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until done. Cut into squares and serve with butter.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh cornmeal, you can use a mix of cornmeal and all-purpose flour.
  • To make sure your cornbread is moist, don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough.
  • If you're using a cast iron skillet to bake your cornbread, preheat it in the oven before adding the batter. This will help the cornbread cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the cornbread. Cornbread is best when it's slightly moist in the center.
  • Serve cornbread warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.

Conclusion:

Yankee cornbread is a classic American dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With its slightly sweet and savory flavor, cornbread is a perfect accompaniment to a variety of meals. Whether you're serving it with chili, soup, or just a simple salad, cornbread is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make side dish, give Yankee cornbread a try.
