Moist Cornbread Recipes

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees F.
• Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
• Butter an 8 x 8-inch square baking dish.
• In a large bowl mix together flour with sugar, cornmeal, baking powder and salt.
• In another bowl whisk together half and half cream or milk, eggs, oil and melted butter; add to the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
• Mix in canned corn niblets.
• Transfer to baking dish.
• Bake for 35 minutes or until the the cake tests done.

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:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F.
• First, add all of the dry ingredients together and mix - this will help keep the distribution of ingredients even. Use the cornmeal, flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Then, add the remaining ingredients in any order and mix. Use the eggs, milk, creamed corn, shortening, and honey.
• Using a mixer or a whisk, combine all of the ingredients until well mixed. Note: These mix easily so using a whisk and some elbow grease does the job just fine.
• Add the mixture to a "prepared" baking dish. You can prepare any baking dish by coating it with cooking spray or - as I like to do - use a paper towel to collect some Crisco and simply rub the dish until it's coated.
• Bake at 425°F for about 40-45 minutes. To see if the corn bread is ready, insert a table knife into the center and pull it out. If it's dry, you're dish is done. If it's still got some wet batter on it - let it cook for another 5 minutes - checking in intervals. Be careful not to overcook. You want the top of the corn bread to be delicately browned, but not so browned that you now have a hardened crust, so just keep an eye on it during the last leg of baking.
• Now -- to use the butter!
• Immediately after you remove the corn bread from the oven, drag as much as 2 tbsp of butter over the top slowly, allowing it to melt as you brush the top of the corn bread. The 2 tbsp (especially if you're using slices of butter from a stick of butter) should be enough to adequately coat the entire loaf. This is an important step. You might think it's just for flavor, but the butter actually softens the top of the corn bread and keeps the texture from becoming too firm or stale. As the butter melts and seeps down into the body of the corn bread, it adds further moisture to the dish, without turning the corn bread into a soft mush like it sometimes can if you slap a spoonful onto an open slice.
• Let the corn bread sit for about 2-4 minutes, allowing the butter to do its job. Then serve!

• Add buttermilk, mayonnaise, butter and shortening to dry ingredients.
• Mix well.
• Add eggs and blend thoroughly.
• Pour into prepared muffin tins and bake 10-12 minutes till lightly browned.
• Use toothpick to test for doneness.
• NOTE: I added 1 C shredded cheddar cheese on some and cinnamon sugar on some.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened., Pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease 9 by 13 pan.
• To sour the milk: Bring milk to room temperature (I put it the microwave for a few seconds). Add 2 Tbls vinegar.
• Once the milk starts to curdle, add the baking soda.
• In a large skillet, melt butter. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Add eggs and beat until well blended. Stir in the sour milk and baking soda mixture. Add the cornmeal, flour and salt and stir to combine making sure a few lumps are left. Pour into prepared pan.
• Bake 35 - 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• For the topping: Add honey to softened butter and combine well. Spread evenly over the top of the hot cornbread.
