WEST VIRGINIA CORNBREAD



West Virginia Cornbread image

This is the homemade cornbread made by members of my family. Since West Virginia is a "northern" southern state, we make a sweeter cornbread than you'll find in the Deep South, but not as sweet as the "sweet as cake" cornbread you find in other parts of the country. Adjust the sugar, as desired. Interestingly enough, this recipe is the same as one posted as "Hoop De Doo Cornbread" on the site with recipes from Walt Disney World. I guess that just shows that it REALLY is a "Small World." =^..^=

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup(s) cornmeal (yellow, white, or a little of both)
1 1/4 cup(s) sugar

1/2 cup(s) vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray the inside of a 13 x 9" baking pan with cooking spray. OR-- Put a few tablespoons of butter in a large cast iron skillet and place in the oven to preheat with the oven.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the dry ingredients; cornmeal, sugar, salt, baking powder, and flour. Mix until well-blended.
  • In a large bowl, add the vegetable oil, milk, and eggs. Beat with a mixer until blended.
  • SLOWLY add the dry ingredients, mixing with the mixer just enough to incorporate all of the ingredients.
  • Pour into the prepared baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean and the cornbread is golden brown. If you used a cast iron skillet, check a few minutes earlier. Just in case...
  • Cool 5 minutes before cutting, if you can wait.
  • Enjoy with your favorite entree. =^..^=
