Best 4 Yankee Cornbread Recipes

YANKEE GIRL'S SOUTHERN ROAST CHICKEN WITH CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Rinse chicken, remove excess fat from around the cavity and pat dry.
• Rub inside and outside of chicken with one teaspoon Old Bay seasoning and set aside.
• Spread corn bread pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until they dry out a bit – not much longer than that.
• Combine onion, celery, fresh herbs, pepper, olive oil and 1 teaspoon of the Old Bay seasoning in a mixing bowl.
• When the cornbread crumbs are toasted enough, dump the hot bread into the celery onion mixture and combine.
• Place the chicken in the bottom of a small roasting pan that has a cover.
• Stuff the cavity and the sides of the chicken with the stuffing – you need to separate the skin a bit from the sides to get the stuffing in next to the leg/thigh pieces – also stuff some into the neck cavity.
• Tie the legs together to hold the stuffing in with kitchen twine.
• Drizzle the chicken with oil, sprinkle with salt and a little more Old Bay if you like.
• Cover the pan and roast at 350 for about 1 and 1/2 hours, then uncover, insert a thermometer close to the leg/thigh joint without touching the bone- you're looking for it to read 180 degrees- it will be very close at this point.
• Roast a little longer uncovered until chicken is nicely browned and the thermometer reads 180 degrees.
• Allow the chicken to rest about 10 to 15 minutes before carving- this step keeps it juicy.
• Enjoy.

YANKEE CORNBREAD

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

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.
