100 Cornmeal Cornbread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil.
• Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg, vegetable oil and buttermilk, then fold into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until just combined.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Put first 5 ingredients in mixing bowl. (If it makes you feel better, go ahead and mix the dry ingredients, whisk the eggs into the buttermilk, then combine dry/wet ingredients).
• Mix with large spoon or whisk.
• Put bacon grease in well-seasoned 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium to high heat.
• Just as the bacon grease is about to start smoking, pour it into the other ingredients, stirring as you pour (if you can manage it). Leave enough in the skillet to coat the bottom and sides.
• Pour entire mixture into the skillet.
• Place skillet on middle rack of oven; bake until cornbread is springy in the middle, browned and pulling away from the skillet on the sides (about 15-20 minutes).
• Remove from oven and invert skillet over serving plate. If cornbread does not drop easily, you may need to run an icing spatula or even a flexible metal egg-turner around/under it so it comes loose.
• Recipe halves well, just remember you can't cut the bacon grease by half because you still need to coat the skillet.
• Serve hot, with plenty of butter. Or margarine, if you insist.

Steps:

• Preset convection oven to 375 for 20 minutes + 5-10 minutes.
• "If you use a convection oven, the cornbread turns out lovly.".
• Spray inside of each SS hotel pan with oil.
• Mix together separetly the dry ingredients and wet ingredients.
• Combine and stir until lumps are gone.
• Pour batter into pans about 3/4 " of batter, cover with tin foil and into convection oven.
• Rotate each pan half way through time set. At end of 20 minutes, uncover, check for uniform light brown color and solid in middle, put back in for 5-10 minutes until knife comes out of middle cleanly.
• Cut into squares of 30 per pan.
