Cornbread Recipe

 This cornbread is super moist, not too sweet and not crumbly! It's a Northern style corn bread that's super quick and easy to make.

Ingredients:

DRY INGREDIENTS:

  • 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal , medium grind (Note 1)
  • 1 1/2 cups flour (plain / all purpose)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt


WET INGREDIENTS:


  • 1 cup canned creamed corn
  • 1/2 cup / 125g melted butter , unsalted
  • 2 eggs , lightly whisked
  • 3/4 cups milk


BAKING:


  • 1 - 2 tbsp butter , melted (for greasing & brushing)

Instructions:


  • Place a 26cm/10" castiron skillet in the oven and preheat to 220C / 425F while making the batter.
  • Place the Dry Ingredients in a bowl and mix.
  • Place Wet ingredients in a separate bowl and mix until combined.
  • Pour Wet into the Dry ingredients, mix until combined.
  • Take the skillet out of the oven. Add the 1 tbsp of butter and swirl it around to coat the base and halfway up the sides (or use a brush to do this)
  • Pour the batter in, smooth surface.
  • Turn oven down to 190°C/375°F, then bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean (or when you poke the top, it springs back).
  • Cool 15 minutes in the skilet before tunring out onto serving platter or cutting board.
  • Best served warm! It can be served in the skillet or turned out. Serve with butter and honey as well, to take it over the top!
