SWEET POTATO PIE-STUFFED CORNBREAD



Sweet Potato Pie-Stuffed Cornbread image

Once when I had leftover sweet potato pie filling, I wondered what I could do with it. Y'all know I don't like to waste food! So, I thought it would be fun to combine two of my favorite things: cornbread and sweet potato pie. The filling gets swirled into the cornbread batter for a sweet and savory mashup that everyone is sure to love.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

One 8-ounce sweet potato
Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the skillet
1/2 cup sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup plain cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup whole buttermilk
1 large egg
1/2 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • For the sweet potato pie filling: Boil the sweet potato whole in a saucepan in enough water to cover until tender when pierced, 20 to 25 minutes. Peel and slice.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray.
  • Combine the sweet potato, sugar, butter, cream, orange juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and egg in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and no lumps remain. Set aside.
  • Make the cornbread: Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, egg, butter and oil in a separate bowl. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until the dry ingredients are moistened. (The batter will be lumpy and thick.)
  • Pour the cornbread batter into the greased skillet. Spoon the sweet potato pie filling over the top in dollops. Use a wooden or metal skewer to create a marbling effect. (But do not mix in the sweet potato filling too much.)
  • Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 7 minutes before serving.

STEPHANIE L. TYSON'S SWEET POTATO CORNBREAD



Stephanie L. Tyson's Sweet Potato Cornbread image

North Carolina and sweet potatoes go way back. To this day, the state is a national leader in growing the crop. Stephanie L. Tyson, the chef who oversees the kitchen at a Winston-Salem spot called (appropriately) Sweet Potatoes, likes to blend one Southern staple into another. And here, the result is a cornbread laced with a holiday-friendly undercurrent of cinnamon and nutmeg. Ms. Tyson has said that the cornbread just clicks with a side of greens, but we have a feeling it will play well with cranberries and gravy, too.

SWEET POTATO CORN BREAD (COOKS COUNTRY) RECIPE

Microwaving the sweet potatoes speeds up the cooking process and intensifies the sweetness of the potatoes. A combination of cornmeal and flour keeps the cornbread light, and brown sugar complements the caramel notes of the sweet potatoes.
SERVES 10 TO 12
You can make this cornbread in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or in an ovensafe nonstick skillet. Light or dark brown sugar works equally well in this recipe. Note that the cornbread needs to cool for 1 hour before being removed from the pan.
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, unpeeled
1/2 cup whole milk
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups (7 1/2 ounces) yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup (2 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed (1 3/4 ounces) brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 3/4 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • INSTRUCTIONS 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Prick potatoes all over with fork. Microwave on large plate until potatoes are very soft and surfaces are slightly wet, 10 to 15 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes. Immediately slice potatoes in half to release steam. 2. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop flesh into bowl and mash until smooth (you should have about 1 3/4 cups); discard skins. Whisk in milk, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in separate large bowl. Stir sweet potato mixture into cornmeal mixture until combined. 3. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in 10-inch ovensafe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling, about 3 minutes. Swirl butter to coat bottom and sides. Pour batter into hot skillet and smooth top with rubber spatula. Bake until cornbread is golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cornbread cool in skillet on wire rack for 1 hour. Loosen edges of cornbread from skillet with spatula and slide out onto cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve.
