CLASSIC CORNBREAD



Classic Cornbread image

Matt and Amy Bell, owners of the restaurant South on Main, usually avoid cooking contests. But the cornbread festival was different. "It's more of a community project than a competition," Matt says. "And it's directly outside the restaurant." The pair won the traditional category with their classic cornbread, a recipe developed by Amy's grandmother Nellie Mae. "You don't dare mess with family recipes," Matt says. "And if you do, you better make sure they can't tell."

Time 40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup vegetable oil, plus more for the baking dish

2/3 cup sugar
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil.

NO-FLOUR CORNBREAD



No-Flour Cornbread image

This recipe was the one my mother used, and her mother before her. Beyond that I can't go! It spoiled me for anything calling itself "cornbread" that has flour or sweeteners in it -- I call those "corn cake." This is great with chili, stew, and other hearty dishes. My dad used to crumble it up into buttermilk and eat it with a spoon. It's a requirement for our family's New Years Day dinner, along with the roast pork and black-eyed peas. It's also the main ingredient in Thanksgiving/Christmas/anytime turkey stuffing.

Time 26m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 eggs
2 cups white cornmeal
2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup bacon grease
salt (most bacon grease provides plenty of saltiness)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Put first 5 ingredients in mixing bowl. (If it makes you feel better, go ahead and mix the dry ingredients, whisk the eggs into the buttermilk, then combine dry/wet ingredients).
  • Mix with large spoon or whisk.
  • Put bacon grease in well-seasoned 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium to high heat.
  • Just as the bacon grease is about to start smoking, pour it into the other ingredients, stirring as you pour (if you can manage it). Leave enough in the skillet to coat the bottom and sides.
  • Pour entire mixture into the skillet.
  • Place skillet on middle rack of oven; bake until cornbread is springy in the middle, browned and pulling away from the skillet on the sides (about 15-20 minutes).
  • Remove from oven and invert skillet over serving plate. If cornbread does not drop easily, you may need to run an icing spatula or even a flexible metal egg-turner around/under it so it comes loose.
  • Recipe halves well, just remember you can't cut the bacon grease by half because you still need to coat the skillet.
  • Serve hot, with plenty of butter. Or margarine, if you insist.
