Basic Cornbread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Butter a 9-inch cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, milk and melted butter until smooth. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and pour the batter into the prepared skillet; smooth the top. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.

• In a 1-quart saucepan, heat the butter over low heat until melted.
• In a large bowl, beat the melted butter, milk and egg with a fork or wire whisk until well mixed. Add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt all at once; stir just until the flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy). Pour batter into the pan; use a rubber spatula to scrape batter from bowl. Spread batter evenly in pan and smooth top of batter.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil.
• Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg, vegetable oil and buttermilk, then fold into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until just combined.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8. Smear some butter all over a 23cm cake tin or ovenproof frying pan. Melt the butter in a separate pan. Tip in the onion and cook over a gentle heat for 5 mins until softened.
• Meanwhile tip all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Beat together the buttermilk and eggs in a separate bowl, then stir in the buttery onions. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix together until just combined and you have a batter.
• Pour the batter into the cake tin or frying pan and smooth the top with a knife. Bake for 25 mins until golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 mins, then turn out, cut into wedges and serve. You can make up to 2 days ahead and store in an airtight container, or freeze for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder and sugar in large bowl. Stir in corn, cheese and red pepper.
• Beat egg in small bowl. Add butter and buttermilk; stir into corn mixture just until combined. Pour into greased 8-inch square baking pan.
• Bake 25 to 30 min. or until light golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F; coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk, melted butter and eggs in a medium bowl; add to the cornmeal mixture and whisk until combined.
• Spread the batter evenly in the baking dish. Bake until golden brown and the top springs back when gently pressed, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• Invert the cornbread onto a cutting board and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Spread out on a baking sheet and leave at room temperature overnight to dry out.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 and grease an 8x8 pan.
• Mix the cornmeal, flour, and 2tbs canola oil together until crumbly.
• Beat eggs into the milk then mix into the cornmeal all at once. Stir just enough to blend thoroughly -- it won't rise well if overmixed.
• Bake 35-40 minutes or until the center tests done.
• Let cool a few minutes before cutting then serve warm with butter or other favorite topping.
• Note: if you want to increase it for a 13x9 pan I find it works better to use 1 1/2 times the ingredients instead of double. A fully doubled recipe is reluctant to cook fully in the center before the edges get dried out.
