Perfect Cornbread Sticks Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place two 7-stick cast-iron corn stick molds in the oven to heat at least 15 minutes. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat until it foams. Toss in the jalapeno, scallions and garlic. Saute until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with a little salt. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk and egg lightly in a small bowl until combined. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture all at once. Stir the two mixtures together just until combined. Add the jalapeno mixture to the bowl along with any butter in the pan. Add the cheddar cheese and stir to combine (the batter will be thick).
• Remove the hot pans from the oven and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter. Divide the batter among the molds, then place back into the oven and bake 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly golden and springy to the touch.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Grease or spray 8- or 9-inch square pan.
• In large bowl, mix all ingredients. Pour into pan.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm if desired.

Steps:

• Set oven to 400°F.
• Coat cast-iron stick molds liberally with oil.
• In a bowl, mix together cornmeal, flour, dark sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
• In another bowl whisk together buttermilk, melted butter and egg; add into the dry ingredients.
• Add in the chopped bell pepper and shredded cheddar cheese; mix to combine (add in more buttermilk if needed to create a pourable consistency).
• Place the oiled cast-iron molds in the oven for about 5 minutes (make certain to have the cornmeal batter ready to pour into the hot molds after 5 minutes).
• Carefully remove the hot molds from oven and evenly divide/fill the batter between each mold.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the corn sticks test done (it might take more or less time depending on the size of molds).
• Using a sharp knife, gently lift out the sticks from the molds.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400°F. Spray the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square pan or 9-inch round cake pan with the cooking spray.
• In a 1-quart saucepan, heat the butter over low heat until melted.
• In a large bowl, beat the melted butter, milk and egg with a fork or wire whisk until well mixed. Add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt all at once; stir just until the flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy). Pour batter into the pan; use a rubber spatula to scrape batter from bowl. Spread batter evenly in pan and smooth top of batter.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• Add wet ingredients and mix well.
• Pour into a greased 9-10 inch dish about 2 inches deep, I use a 10 inch cast iron skillet.
• Bake for 18-23 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
• DO NOT OVER BAKE! This causes it to crumble. I bake mine just until it starts to crack, 20 minutes.
• ENJOY!
• You can also make these in corn stick pans, bake for 12 to 18 minutes.
