on how to make our Cornbread

[WormGuy]

We have several bread recipes on here but I don't recall seeing any for cornbread. DW and I were talking tonight on how to make our mix for cornbread. After reading the ingredients on the bag we both agreed we would not be able to make it from scratch. Does anyone make their own? We have whole corn in our preps but we don't have a clue on how to make a mix.

 

Anyone?

Wormguy,

 

I just use the recipe (sort of) on the back of the Alber's cornmeal box. The recipe and suggestions can be found here:

I generally use a bit more sugar than recommended and if it's corn muffins for breakfast, I'll add a generous swig of vanilla. But however I make it, it always gets served with honey-butter in our house! (The name says it all, softened butter whipped with lots of honey)

 

Frankly, cornbread mixes up so fast, I'm not sure why you would want to pre-mix it. But I guess you could and just leave out the wet ingredients.

That's cute! I never measure vanilla either. I always measure with
a 'generous swig' too!

I can't make good cornbread but I can help in finding
the recipes!

Grind your corn into meal and wheat into flour.

 

From a mix making book, (I have not tried this recipe)

 

Cornbread Mix

Combine:

1 1/4 cups flour

1 1/4 cups corn meal

3/4 cup sugar

1/3 cup dehydrated butter

2 tablespoons powdered milk

1 1/2 Tablespoons dehydrated egg*

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

*You can leave out the dehydrated egg, and use a fresh egg when making the cornbread.

 

Cornbread

Combine 3 cups Cornbread mix with 1 cup water

 

Bake at 350* in 8 x 8 greased pan for 30-40 minutes or greased muffin tins for 20 minutes.

I use the recipe from Fannie Farmer:

 

3/4 cup yellow cornmeal

1 cup flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 Tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup milk

1 egg well-beaten

2 Tbsp melted shortening or bacon fat

 

425 for 20 minutes in an 8" square pan or a cast iron frying pan.

 

I've made my own 'dry mix' by using powdered milk. I add a cup of water, an egg and bacon grease. Certainly, I could use powdered eggs and powdered shortening too. I just haven't done that yet.

 

BTW, the baking soda starts to work right away, so as soon as I have it mixed, I put in my greased baking dish.

 

Ate it tonight with bean soup!
