Sweet Moist Buttery Corn Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Combine eggs and milk. Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with egg mixture., Pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake 22-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cut into squares; serve warm.

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 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. Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm.

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!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Cook 6 tablespoons butter in an 8-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes; remove from the heat. Whisk the eggs and honey in a bowl, then whisk in the milk, sour cream and browned butter. Add to the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet over medium heat until it foams. Remove from the heat and add the batter. Transfer to the oven; bake until the cornbread springs back when pressed, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes in the skillet before slicing.

Steps:

• Set oven to 400 degrees F (set oven rack to second-lowest position).
• In a medium bowl cream butter with sugar.
• In another bowl whisk eggs with half and half cream or milk.
• In a small bowl combine flour, cornmeal, 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with egg mixture.
• Mix in chopped corn.
• Transfer to prepared baking pan.
• Bake for about 25-27 minutes or until cake tests done.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350º.
• In a bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the oil, melted butter, honey, eggs, and milk.
• Pour into a greased 8-inch square pan.
• Bake for 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Pour vegetable oil into a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and swirl oil to coat bottom and sides of skillet. Place skillet into preheated oven until very hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove skillet from oven.
• Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Beat eggs in a separate bowl and stir buttermilk into eggs. Pour half (2 tablespoons) of vegetable oil from the hot skillet into buttermilk mixture, retaining remaining oil in skillet, and beat until oil is incorporated. Mix buttermilk mixture into dry ingredients to make a smooth batter. Pour batter into skillet.
• Bake in the oven until top is golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Cut cornbread into servings while in skillet; serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch square pan.
• Melt butter in large skillet. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Quickly add eggs and beat until well blended. Combine buttermilk with baking soda and stir into mixture in pan. Stir in cornmeal, flour, and salt until well blended and few lumps remain. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit; grease an 8" square baking pan.
• In food processor bowl fitted with steel blade, beat butter, Neufchatel cheese, and lecithin until fluffy.
• Add the egg whites and beat for about 30 seconds.
• Add barley malt syrup (or honey), splenda, 1/2 cup of the corn kernels, the milk, and the cornstarch; puree these together.
• In medium bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients (masa harina, corn meal, gluten, baking powder, and salt) with a whisk, making sure that everything's incorporated well.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and add the remaining 1/2 cup corn kernels; fold gently to combine; don't go too rough on the batter because you don't want the gluten to develop or the bread will be tough.
• Transfer the mixture to your greased pan, and bake until it reaches an internal temperature of 185 degrees F; I used a probe thermometer so I don't know exactly how long it took; probably about 40 minutes; look for a golden color, and a firm center.
• If you can manage to do so, let stand 15 mins before cutting.
• Additional Chef Notes: The cornstarch and liquid lecithin help bind the ingredients and retain moisture, two roles normally played by fat, some of which has been eliminated in this recipe;"Masa harina" is the corn flour that is used to make delicious authentic corn tortillas-- the flavor is entirely different from wheat-based (for example, all-purpose) flours; This recipe calls for gluten since neither corn flour nor corn meal have gluten in them naturally, the protein in wheat that helps impart structure, and lets your bread rise better; My guess is that if you omit the cornstarch, liquid lecithin, masa harina, and gluten, your bread won't be as moist or flavorful.
