AMISH CHICKEN & CORNBREAD STUFFING FOR THE CROCK POT OR OVEN



Amish Chicken & Cornbread Stuffing for the Crock Pot or Oven image

This is really delicious, one of my favorite crock pot recipes that can as easily be made as a casserole and baked in the oven. It lends itself easily to your favorite variations. I did not include boiling the chicken in the time since that is an option, and you can use already prepared cooked chicken, and I listed the time for oven baking, not the crock pot version. You can either cook a whole chicken in water with your favorite seasonings to make the broth, or use cooked chicken use canned broth. Works well either way. I've had it a long time and can't remember the source.

Amish Cornbread recipes refer to a type of bread recipe that originates from the Amish communities. It is a highly popular recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation, with various spin-offs.

Ingredients

The ingredients required for making Amish cornbread recipe include meal, flour, milk, sugar, eggs, baking powder, salt, and butter.
Meal
Meal is a significant component of the Amish cornbread recipe, as it's what provides the bread with its unique texture. The meal is derived from dried and ground kernels of corn. It's typically coarser than flour, and it's yellow in color.
Flour
Flour helps to provide structure to the bread, and it's used in combination with meal. Most Amish cornbread recipes call for all-purpose flour.
Milk
Milk is added to provide moisture. It's usually added in small amounts to prevent the cornbread from being too wet.
Sugar
Adding sugar to the Amish cornbread provides it with a gentle sweetness that helps to balance out the natural flavor of the cornmeal.
Eggs
Eggs help to bind the ingredients and provide structure to the cornbread.
Baking powder
Baking powder helps to provide the bread with a lift and a fluffy texture by reacting with the acid in the milk.
Salt
Salt serves two purposes in most baking - to provide flavor and balance out the sweetness.
Butter
Butter can be used to grease the baking dish, or it can be melted and added to the batter for flavor.

Preparation Method

The Amish cornbread recipe is relatively simple to prepare and doesn't require any special equipment. The following are the general steps required to make delicious Amish cornbread:
Step 1: Preheat oven
Before preparing the batter, you need to preheat your oven to 375°F. This is the standard temperature for baking cornbread.
Step 2: Combine dry ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the meal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix these ingredients together thoroughly.
Step 3: Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix them with the melted butter and milk. Add this mixture to the bowl containing the dry ingredients and mix well.
Step 4: Pour the batter into a greased baking dish
Grease a baking dish with butter and pour the batter into it. You can use a square or round baking dish, depending on your preference.
Step 5: Bake the cornbread
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes. The cornbread should be golden brown on top, and a skewer or toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center.
Step 6: Cool and serve
Allow the cornbread to cool before cutting it into squares or wedges. You can serve it warm with butter or a savory topping like cheese or chili.

Conclusion

Amish cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-prepare bread that's great for any occasion. Whether you're serving it as a side dish or using it as a base for sandwiches, Amish cornbread is a versatile and tasty recipe that's worthy of your attention. Try out different variations of the recipe and come up with your spin-off. With a little bit of experimentation, you can create a variety of delicious cornbreads that everyone will enjoy.
Making Amish cornbread is not just about following the recipe. There are several valuable tips that you should keep in mind to end up with a delicious and flavorful cornbread. Whether you are an experienced baker or a beginner, these tips will help you make the perfect Amish cornbread.

Tip #1: Use Fresh Ingredients

One of the essential tips for making Amish cornbread is to use fresh ingredients. This can greatly improve the taste and texture of your cornbread. Ensure that your cornmeal is fresh and has not been sitting in your pantry for too long. Also, use fresh buttermilk, eggs, and butter in the recipe. When you use fresh and high-quality ingredients, it will add more depth of flavor to your cornbread.

Tip #2: Don't Overmix the Batter

Another valuable tip for making Amish cornbread is to not overmix the batter. Mix the batter until it is just combined. Overmixing can lead to a tougher and drier cornbread. When you mix the batter, the gluten in the flour develops, which can lead to a dense and tough texture. The goal is to have a light and fluffy texture that is moist and crumbly.

Tip #3: Use a Cast-Iron Skillet

Using a cast-iron skillet is a typical Amish way of making cornbread. The cast-iron skillet gives the cornbread a delicious, crispy crust and evenly distributes the heat throughout the cooking process. Before adding the batter, make sure to preheat the skillet in the oven or on the stovetop. The hot skillet will give the batter a nice sear and keep it from sticking to the pan.

Tip #4: Add Some Sweetness

Traditionally, Amish cornbread is not sweet. However, adding a bit of sweetness can enhance the flavor of the cornbread. You can add a tablespoon of honey, sugar, or maple syrup to the batter to give it a touch of sweetness. Remember that the balance of sweet and savory should not be overpowering. The sweetness should be subtle and complement the corn flavor.

Tip #5: Add Some Texture

Amish cornbread is typically made with white or yellow cornmeal, which gives it a smooth texture. Adding some texture to the cornbread can give it a more interesting and complex flavor. You can add some chopped jalapeño or scallions to the batter, which can give it a spicy or oniony flavor. You can also add some corn kernels or cheese to the batter for added texture and flavor.

Tip #6: Let the Cornbread Rest

After baking the cornbread, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Letting the cornbread rest allows the flavors to develop and settle. During this time, the cornbread will also continue cooking, which can lead to a moist and tender texture. If you are looking for that extra crispiness, you can cut the cornbread into slices and place them in a skillet to sear them for a few minutes. Remember to watch them carefully as they can quickly burn.

Tip #7: Serve it With a Dip or Spread

Amish cornbread is delicious on its own, but serving it with a flavorful dip or spread can enhance the taste even further. You can serve it with honey butter, whipped cream cheese, or jalapeño jelly. These spreads can add an extra layer of flavor that complements the cornbread perfectly. They can also give your guests an opportunity to personalize their cornbread experience.
Conclusion
Making Amish cornbread requires some attention to detail, but it is a relatively easy recipe that can be mastered with practice. Following these valuable tips can help you achieve a delicious and flavorful cornbread that everyone will enjoy. Remember to use fresh ingredients, not overmix the batter, use a cast-iron skillet, add some sweetness and texture, let the cornbread rest, and serve it with a dip or spread.
