Fantabulous Yankee Cornbread image

A little sweeter than Southern and really good! Make this in a 9 inch cast iron skillet for the best results and it may become your favorite corn bread too! DH loves this with Recipe #272121 and fried potatoes. UPDATE!!! YES! I did omit 4 teaspoons of baking powder in the recipe! Mea Culpa! It should be sifted along with the dry ingredients. I am so sorry and thank you for pointing it out to me. SA :( I have corrected the recipe.

Time 40m

Yield 1 cornbread, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon table salt (table salt, not kosher)
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup oil (please do not use canola oil or you will get a heavy, greasy result)
1 tablespoon shortening (I use Crisco)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Once the oven is hot start the recipe since you want a screaming hot oven.
  • Grease the bottom and sides of the cast iron skillet with the shortening. Use more than 1 tablespoon if you need to get more coverage.
  • By hand, sift all the dry ingredients together and stir them to make sure they are combined and make a well in the center.
  • Combine the eggs, milk and oil and mix well.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir only until they combine. I fold them together with a spatula.
  • Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
  • Gently pour into your cast iron skillet being careful not to deflate the batter.
  • Bake in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
