Masa Double Cornbread image

Masa - the base of corn tortillas - is basically cornmeal that has been processed in a way that makes the vitamin content more usable. I use the brand Maseca, which my grocery store stocks next to the flour in a similar size bag for about the same price. Using masa in cornbread gives it a softer texture and a bit of tortilla...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c all purpose flour
1 c instant masa (such as maseca)
2-4 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 c milk
1/4 c vegetable oil
1 can(s) whole kernel corn, drained
1 Tbsp butter

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 425. If you're planning to bake your cornbread in a cast iron pan, put the pat of butter in the pan and put it into the oven to heat up. If you're using a regular baking pan, grease the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides.
  • 2. Combine flour, masa, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
  • 3. In a small bowl, combine eggs, milk and oil.
  • 4. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients all at once, stirring as little as possible to combine well.
  • 5. Gently fold in corn.
  • 6. Pour into prepared pan, smooth top of batter and bake 25 minutes for a square pan, a bit longer for cast iron, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
