Best Southern Cornbread And Yankee Cornbread Recipes

YANKEE CORNBREAD

Steps:

• 1. Stir together dry ingredients. Then add egg, oil, and enough milk to make a batter a bit thinner than brownie batter but thicker than cake batter. Pour this into greased 9x9 inch pan. Bake in a pre-heated 400 degree oven about 20-30 minutes till done and lightly browned on top.
• 2. Notes: Now should you desire to add the additives you just put them in with the exception of sour cream, if adding sour cream, you add ½ teaspoon baking soda and add the sour cream before the milk.
• 3. I like to omit the sugar then put in a bit of sour cream, chopped jalapenos, a handful of whole kernel corn, a handful of shredded mexican cheese, and a bit of chopped cilantro for a nice Mexican cornbread.

OUR FAVORITE SOUR MILK CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°
• Mix the cornmeal, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Stir the milk into the beaten eggs, and pour over the dry ingredients in batches, stirring vigorously to make a smooth glossy batter.
• Cut the butter into pieces and put it in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or baking pan. Put the skillet in the preheated oven, and heat until the butter is melted and foaming. Remove from the oven, and swirl the butter all around the skillet to coat the bottom and sides thoroughly. Pour the remaining melted butter into the cornbread batter, and stir well until the butter is absorbed into the batter. Turn the batter into the heated skillet, and put in the oven to bake for 30-40 minutes, until cornbread is golden brown and crusty on top and pulls away from the sides of the skillet.
• Remove the skillet from the oven, and turn the cornbread out onto a plate. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges. Serve the cornbread while it is hot.
