Sweet New England Cornbread | Favorite Corn Recipes
Photo Credit : Hornick/RivlinThe type of cornmeal has a big impact on the texture of cornbread. Use coarse-grind cornmeal for a toothsome texture; medium-grind (stone-ground Rhode Island brands) for a pleasant crunch; or fine-grind (common in supermarkets) for a light, floury finish.
Yield:
9 servingsIngredients
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup stone-ground cornmeal
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for pan
2 large eggs
1-1/2 cups whole or 2% milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425° and grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, eggs, and milk. Pour over the dry ingredients and fold together until just combined; don’t overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool; then cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
