SWEET POTATO (QUEEN) CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Mom's is the ultimate example of a life well-lived. I am in total awe of her. She's smart, accomplished, beautiful-inside and out-loving, courageous, and bubbling over with the sheer joy of living.
• It's been an easy fifty years for Dad, clearly. To further endear her to me personally, she and her friends turn out some excellent eats! Mom herself makes this sweet potato cornbread that is worth driving all the way to Mountain Pine, Arkansas, for, but you won't have to-here's how you do it.
• Mix together this dry stuff: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup sugar.
• Separetely, mix together this wet stuff: 3 sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed (or you may use 1 16 ounce can of sweet potatoes, and in this recipe, it really is okay not to use home-cooked ones, I would tell you if it mattered), 2 eggs, 6 tablespoons milk, and 3 tablespoons oil.
• Then mix the dry stuff and the wet stuff, just until it's all moist (don't beat it to death), then put it in greased muffin tins and bake at 425 until done-usually about 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 3 make the cornbread batter. in a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt-set aside. in a separate large mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer or a whisk, mix together sugar and eggs. mix in melted butter and buttermilk into the sugar/egg mixture. Step 4 add in the baked sweet potatoes. using your hands, peel skin off of sweet potatoes-the skin should nearly fall off the sweet potatoes. using a fork, mash in a separate bowl until mostly smooth-some small chunks are okay. mix mashed sweet potatoes into the egg/buttermilk batter-be careful not to over mix. if using a hand mixer, mix on low speed. once the sweet potatoes are fully combined, slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the sweet potato mixture. pour the cornbread batter into the preheated cast iron skillet and bake for about 20-25 minutes until a knife comes out clean. serve warm with butter.
